书籍介绍
作为劳蒂默（Lattimore）翻译的希腊悲剧经典英译本，这套书最耐人寻味的地方，或许恰恰在于它如何逼问读者：当人试图以神的尺度去裁决命运，最终却被自身的局限所困，我们究竟有权选择侍奉哪位神？书中所收的《希波利托斯》《美狄亚》等剧，常被读者反复重读、甚至二刷，正因其文本里藏着可供深挖的意象网络——从《美狄亚》与《赫卡勒》中贯穿的触觉与“手”的母题，到贞洁如何被“种”入灵魂而非由教条灌输。它不是供人轻松消遣的读物，而是一面可供反复对照、批注的镜子：适合那些愿意逐行咀嚼、追问道德与信仰边界的读者，也适合课堂上的深入研讨。

用户评论
Alcestis is odd even by Euripidean standards. Often it appears to be incredibly boring, but Victoria Wohl has revealed its political value in her lecture.
(2014.Oct.02)人试图以神的模式解决问题，但最终还是被自身所限。 --- (2016.Jan.17重读) 为什么神会在意人的信仰？
只看了medea和hippolytus 这周写了一篇关于触觉和手的意象的论文 (medea & hecuba & electra)
“They, men, allege that we enjoy a life
secure from danger safe at home,
while they confront the thrusting spears of war.
That's nonsense: I would rather join
the battle rank of shields three times
than undergo birth-labor once.” -- Medea
读过the Medea和the Hippolytus。
此套書籍早有耳聞，確實不錯。二刷完畢，譯文很有啟發性
