Description: Intended to be both read as literature and performed as plays, these translations are lucid and readable, while remaining staunchly faithful to the texts.
Brief description: Aaron Poochigian teaches languages and literature at Brooklyn College and is translator of Aratus's Phaenomena, also published by Johns Hopkins.
Review Quotes: Classicists should enjoy the book, for . . . it did help this reader get closer than before to these perhaps underrated plays. The book has a good introduction and notes.
