Medea, Hippolytus, The Bacchae by Euripides, published in an elegant Easton Press edition (1980), presents three of antiquity’s most powerful tragedies in a volume that marries literary genius with fine craftsmanship. This collector’s edition showcases Euripides’ unflinching explorations of human passion, divine wrath, and societal upheaval—from Medea’s vengeful infanticide to Hippolytus’s fatal piety and the ecstatic horrors of Dionysian worship in The Bacchae.
Bound in rich full leather with 22-karat gold accents, silk moiré endpapers, and archival-quality paper, this Easton Press volume elevates these timeless plays into an heirloom object. The translation preserves Euripides’ poetic intensity and psychological depth, capturing his radical empathy for women, outsiders, and the destabilizing forces of emotion.
A testament to Greek tragedy’s enduring power, this edition is essential for lovers of classical drama and fine press books—where the weight of fate meets the art of the book.
“Stronger than lover’s love is lover’s hate. Incurable, in each, the wounds they make.” —Medea
