This school edition, originally published by Macmillan in 1962, was designed for post-beginners and has remained a basic standard text for GCSE or equivalent level students. Extracts from two plays of Euripides, Rhesus and Helen, are drawn from their iambic sections but interlinked by narrative and the subject matter of the choral lyrics is indicated in such a way as to give an idea of the entire plays.Notes give assistance with language and content, while the introduction covers Greek tragedy in general and questions of metre.There is also a full vocabulary and useful summaries.
