Review: Ancient wisdom - Stories everyone should read and learn. Review: Excellent Intro to Greek Tragedy, Without Being Overwhelming - I wanted to buy a book containing a representative sample of the three extant ancient Greek tragedians (Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripedes) as a gift. It was either this one or the Bantam collection edited by Moses Hadas - a mass market edition. I'd read the Bantam one, and it contains a number of the plays by each, plus an Aristophenes comedy, in a perhaps slightly stiff translation. It was actually tough to ascertain the contents of this Penguin book, as no shop seemed to have it, and there was no "look inside" feature for it on desertcart, so I went ahead and bought it. I'm not disappointed. It contains less plays than the Bantam: Just Aeschylus' Agamemnon, Sophocles' Oedipus Rex and Euripedes' Medea. It also has a nice intro about Greek Tragedy, and selections from Aristotle's Poetics. Having fewer plays than the Bantam, it feels a lot less crammed. I was pleased by the selection, as I personally think they're the single best play of each playwright. Decent translations. So...if you're looking for something to serve as a nice sampling of Greek Traj, perhaps for someone new to the genre, without running the risk of overwhelming, it's a good choice. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #97,095 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Drama & Play Anthologies (Books) #41 in Drama Literary Criticism #45 in Ancient & Classical Dramas & Plays | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 93 Reviews | ## Images ![Greek Tragedy (Penguin Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nTPCDPmfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ancient wisdom *by X***U on January 26, 2026* Stories everyone should read and learn. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Intro to Greek Tragedy, Without Being Overwhelming *by D***S on January 11, 2007* I wanted to buy a book containing a representative sample of the three extant ancient Greek tragedians (Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripedes) as a gift.
