Title: It’s a Book!
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 31, 2019
Review: I have no basis of judgment. I bought this for niece because she needed help buying her textbooks. Textbooks (and the publish or perish ethos of the modern university) are a scam so I feel like I should give it a low rating in general principles.

Title: Be careful
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 7, 2014
Review: Be careful purchasing this book from this publisher. The book was required for a classics course I took, however, when I went to read a play from it, I found the translation to be very dated. The writing is difficult to read and very outdated (using words such as dost and o'er, etc.). Turns out, I had purchased the wrong book, and Amazon has mistakenly linked them together. The correct one has a red cover with a circle, this one has a white and blue cover with a picture of rocks. Don't waste your money on nearly unreadable prose, make sure you purchase the right book.

Title: For a used book, it came in great condition!
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 26, 2017
Review: For a used book, it came in great condition! Just the book I needed for class! Definitely worth the investment given the price, and the fact professors will always continue to teach with it.

Title: A Book to Buy
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2010
Review: This is a modern translation, not at all slangy. The introduction and essays at the end are useful.
Medea and Hyppolytus are popular plays. The Bacchae is totally disturbing and is meant to be. Heracles Mad is not so well known, not so popular, and probaly his best extant play.
A good read, with much meat for thought.

Title: Just what my teacher wanted
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 7, 2014
Review: I had to buy this book for a class and my teacher was very particular about the edition and publisher that we got. This is the exact copy of the one he requested so it is nice to know that amazon allows you to be that specific.

Title: Slow Read
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 13, 2015
Review: Once you have deciphered what the book is saying the stories are really interesting. However, the translation is quite difficult to follow along. I found myself taking 3 times as long to read 20 pages as it did for me to read the Illiad.

Title: The Greeks said it all
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 8, 2017
Review: An excellent translation imo, and I really have no words to describe Euripides' greatness. I really should learn Ancient Greek.
