John Herrington, a haunting depiction of the most famous of Olympian punishments; \u003cem\u003eThe Suppliants\u003c\/em\u003e, translated by Peter Burian, an extraordinary drama of flight and rescue arising from women's resistance to marriage; \u003cem\u003ePersians\u003c\/em\u003e, translated by Janet Lembke and C. John Herington, a masterful telling of the Persian Wars from the view of the defeated; and \u003cem\u003eSeven Against Thebes\u003c\/em\u003e, translated by Anthony Hecht and Helen Bacon, a richly symbolic play about the feuding sons of Oedipus. These four tragedies were originally available as single volumes. This new volume retains the informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original editions and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line numbers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Greek Tragedy in New Translation series is edited by Peter Burian and Alan Shapiro.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Burian\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Classical \u0026amp; Comparative Literatures, and Theater Studies, Duke University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAlan Shapiro\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of English and Creative Writing, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
