Originally published as part of the third edition of Chicago's Complete Greek Tragedies, it is published here as a stand-alone volume for the first time. In Carson's stunning translation, Euripides's play-full of mistaken identities, dangerous misunderstandings, and unexpected interventions by gods and men-is as fierce and fresh as any contemporary drama. Carson has accomplished one of the rarest feats of translation: maintaining fidelity to a writer's words even as she inflects them with her own unique poetic voice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Destined to become the standard translation of the play, \u003ci\u003eIphigenia among the Taurians\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable accomplishment, and an unforgettable work of poetic drama.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne Carson\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Canada and teaches ancient Greek for a living.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.3 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 10, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51762712019232,"sku":"9780226203621","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/71055115c0d30c5fe971e740a9814d6e_092af270-9234-491f-be0d-c7052ee8f841.webp?v=1780224102","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/iphigenia-among-the-taurians-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
