Euripides' Escape-Tragedies

Matthew Wright is Lecturer in Classics, Department of Classics and Ancient History, University of Exeter.

...one of [Wright's] many excellences is the way that he, like Euripides, takes nothing for granted, and asks penetrating questions about the relationship between tragedy, philosophy and Euripides...this is an important book for its willingness to question conventional wisdom and it should be read by anyone interested in Greek tragedy and its relationship to philosophy.
