euripides will stretch plays out of like 2 events and to reach the word limit he will just make characters do sexist rants <3 preferred medea but i thought id read this in preparation for seneca's phaedra which im doing in latin this trimester!

This review is of the translation by Robert Bagg.

Not a fan of this translation. The fact that I don't care for the play itself also doesn't help.

Hippolytos: omg i‘m so pure and innocent 🥺 and then a hundred lines on how he thinks women are ruining the world. i understand the historical context and everything but misogyny in general just pisses me off. 
nevertheless….. Euripides rocks. i love him.
