Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Tragedies of Euripides, Vol. 1 of 3: In English Verse
Moral re?ections. It does seem strange that the singers who during the present century have enriched English poetry with wealth of metrical variety lavish beyond all precedent, should have lived in vain for the translator of the Greek drama, especially since those magnificent notes of chorus-music were struck by the author Of Atalanta in Calydon and Erechtheus, after which the good Old Pindaric - Ode pattern, with its guilelessly capricious alternations of longs and shorts, seems curiously out Of date.
