About The Book: "The Bacchanals and Other Plays" is a collection of ancient Greek dramas by Euripides. It comprises four plays, including "The Bacchanals," exploring the tragedy of Dionysus and the Bacchae; "Iphigenia at Aulis," delving into Agamemnon's sacrifice of his daughter Iphigenia for a successful voyage to Troy; "Rhesus," depicting the Trojan War from the Trojans' viewpoint; and "The Cyclops," humorously retelling Odysseus' encounter with Polyphemus. This enduring collection serves as a significant source for study and performance, providing insight into themes of power, sacrifice, fate, and cleverness within ancient Greek culture and storytelling. About The Author: Euripides, a prominent tragedian of classical Athens (c. 480 – c. 406 BC), stands among the three surviving ancient Greek playwrights with complete plays, alongside Aeschylus and Sophocles.

Approximately eighteen or nineteen plays have endured, surpassing Aeschylus and Sophocles, solidifying Euripides as a cornerstone in ancient literary education.

A versatile writer, Milman's contributions include dramatic works like "Fazio," successful poems like "The Fall of Jerusalem," and translations of Aeschylus and Euripides.Michael Wodhull (1740–1816) was an English book-collector and translator, notably translating all extant writings of Euripides into English verse.
