4.0
this was only one volume - #4, the Greek Plays -- and I did not finish. The translations were not especially clear or compelling and there was a real dearth of notes or footnotes.
So, I will explore other editions for this stuff -- Penguin and Bantam have a classics line of paperbacks, and there are also "modern translations" of many of the plays (Ellen McLaughlin's "The Greek Plays" is terrific so far, but I'm only just starting that book).
