Hippolytus was a bit of a drag, but the other three plays in this collection are absolutely worth the time!

4,5 stars (rounded down).

Medea 5 ★
Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. My most favorite play in this anthology, superior. Everything was perfect. Excellent.

Hippolytus, Electra 4,5 ★
Have good story, but still, Medea is superior.

Helen 4 ★
Okay but not enough tragedy for my liking. A new perspective on Helen (for me personally).
