This one is just so inaccessible to modern audiences that it really just is strange and not very interesting. ( ) More Greek tragedy, this one involving the feud between Hera and Hercules. After fulfilling his labors, Herakles arrives home to find his father, wife, and children homeless. He decides to take matters in his own hands by taking back his city from the usurpers who claimed it for their own. Since this is Greek tragedy, it cannot possibly turn out well for Herakles, or anyone else. Hera is still steamed, and sends the goddess Madness to do her dirty work. This translation has been somewhat modernized, but it was done in a way that doesn't sound as abrasive as some; there are phrases that don't sound particularly Greek to me, but neither do they sound like a millennial. The biggest clunker was the constant "I could care less", which is, of course, the exact opposite of the meaning of the phrase in context, which really was "I couldn't care less". Overall, readable, but you have to be careful not to get lost in the long expository speeches. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The Heracles is a challenging and problematic play especially for the student. Bond's introduction and commentary (first published in hardback in 1981) is especially welcome, since the last major edition of the play was published in 1895 and was so authoritative that until recently little newwork had been done on it. James Diggle's Oxford Classical Text is reproduced.'The publication of Bond's Heracles... will return Euripidean studies to the heady days at the turn of the century.' J. Williams, Liverpool Classical Monthly'Bond's commentary... is a traditional scholarly commentary: solid and informative, textually oriented... patient and methodical.' M. Silk, Greece and Rome'by so intelligently and often penetratingly discussing patterns of language, Bond contributes much to the interpretation of this deeply disturbing and moving play.' D. Henry, Times Educational Supplement'This edition ... is a major event in Euripidean scholarship ... The glory of the book is its voluminous notes, exhibiting scholarship which is old-fashioned in the best sense (of encyclopaedic thoroughness) ... It must remain the definitive edition of the Heracles for many years to come.Hermathena Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
