Note:"The Greek Tragedy in New Translations is based on the conviction that poets like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides can only be properly rendered by translators who are themselves poets. Scholars may, it is true, produce useful and perceptive versions. But our most urgent present need is for a re-creation of these plays -- as though they had been written, freshly and greatly, by masters fully at home in the English of our own times." -- Editor's foreword
