ReviewsEsposito's Bacchae is an excellent brief guide to the difficulties and complexities of this controversial play, and it will be welcomed by students and teachers alike... The translation itself is clear, strong and highly readable. --Charles Segal, Harvard University

IllustratedYes

Synopsis[Woodruff's translation] is clear, fluent, and vigorous, well thought out, readable and forceful. The rhythms are right, ever-present but not too insistent or obvious. It can be spoken instead of read and so is viable as an acting version; and it keeps the lines of the plot well focused. The Introduction offers a good survey of critical approaches. The notes at the foot of the page are suitably brief and nonintrusive and give basic information for the non-specialist. --Charles Segal, Harvard University, A wonderful new translation of this classic play, with an introduction and notes by translator Stephen Esposito. Also available: an extensive online companion to the Bacchae, with additional notes and resources.
