I'd forgotten how much I loved reading Greek tragedies until I re picked up this book to read.
Loved Medea the best - the story of Jason's spurred wife and mooter of his two sons...how she enacts revenge on him and all those who have wronged her.

As a feminist I'm on her side!!!
'These plays show Euripides transforming the awesome figures of Greek mythology into recognizable, fallible human beings.'
