About This Book
An industrial port of a war-torn city. Women survivors wait to be shipped abroad. Officials come and go. A grandmother, once Queen, watches as her remaining family are taken from her one by one. The city burns around them. Euripides' great anti-war tragedy is published in Don Taylor's translation to coincide with the National Theatre's production directed by Katie Mitchell in the Lyttelton auditorium. This edition of the play features an introduction by the translator setting the play in its historical and dramaturgical context.

punished,
she
and
Menelaus
will
live
in
Sparta
as
before.
So
the
war’s
great
end
has
apparently
been
accomplished.
But
was
it
worth
it?
Is
that
why
all
those
men,
a
whole
civilisation,
died?
So
that
Helen
can
twist
Menelaus
round
her
little
finger,
just
as
she
has
done
before
our
eyes?
Euripides
not
only
confronts
us
with
the
suffering,
but
also
with
a
question.
If
this
is
what
we
do
to
each
other,
and
for
this
reason,
can
it
possibly
be
worth
it?
It
is
a
question
that
must
have
echoed
in
a
good
many
Athenian
minds
as
they
went
down
between
the
Long
Walls
to
Piraeus
and
saw
the
great
Sicilian
task
force
assembling
in
the
bay.
