Iphigeneia at Aulis (Greek Tragedy in New Translations)

Iphigeneia at Aulis (Greek Tragedy in New Translations)

Classical & Early

In this new translation of Euripides' celebrated Greek tragedy, W.S. Merwin and George E. Dimock, Jr. offer a compelling look at the devastating consequence of 'man's inhumanity to man'. A stern critique of Greek culture, Iphigeneia at Aulis condemns the Trojan War by depicting the power of political ambition and the ensuing repercussions of thoughtlessly falling to the will of constituency. The translation impressively re-creates the broad array of moral and emotional tones conveyed by Euripides, with a comprehensive introduction, notes on the text, and a glossary of mythical and geographical terms.

Classical & Early

Plautus was the single greatest influence on Western comedy. In fact, Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors and Moliere's the Miser are two subsequent classics directly based on Plautine originals. Plautus himself borrowed from the Greeks, but his jokes, rapid dialogue, bawdy humor, and irreverent characterizations are the original work of an undisputed genius. The comedies printed here show him at his best, and Professor Segal's translations keep their fast, rollicking pace intact, making these the most readable and actable versions available. This volume includes, The Braggart Soldier, e Brothers Menaechmus, The Haunted House, and The Pot of Gold.

Friday, October 13, 1307 marked the end of the Knights Templar and the beginning of the hunt for an ancient stone inscribed with words that would rock the foundation of the Roman Church.
Minutes before the king’s men arrived to arrest all members of the Order, David de St. Clair became not only a Knights Templar but a member of a secret sect within the Order formed to protect the ancient stone. Or so he thought. Only Lady Madeline, a damsel in continual distress, knew the truth. If David de St. Clair failed at his duty and the stone fell into the wrong hands, much more than the secrets of the church would be destroyed forever.
Forbidden love, a sacred stone, and the duty that brings them together...
