The first playwright to depict suffering without reference to the gods, Euripides (484-407 B.C.) made his characters speak in human terms and face the consequences of their actions. In\u00a0<em>Medea,\u00a0<\/em>a woman rejected by her lover takes hideous revenge by murdering the children they both love, and\u00a0<em>Hecabe\u00a0<\/em>depicts the former queen of Troy, driven mad by the prospect of her daughter\u2019s sacrifice to Achilles.\u00a0<em>Electra\u00a0<\/em>portrays a young woman planning to avenge the brutal death of her father at the hands of her mother, while in\u00a0<em>Heracles,\u00a0<\/em>the hero seeks vengeance against the evil king who has caused bloodshed in his family.<\/p>\n<p>Philip Velacott\u2019s lucid translation is accompanied by an introduction, which discusses the literary background of Classical Athens and examines the distinction between instinctive and civilized behaviour.
