this was a book full of gossip, telenovelas be like

Alcestis: 4/5
The Medea: 5/5
The Heracleidea: 3.5/5
Hippolytus: 3.5/5

Digression from the traditional tragic elements common to Sophocles and Aeschylus. The influx of Socratic style and rationalistic dialogue damns the concluding sense of tragic pity that ought to follow the heroine’s downfall. We are quick to call her crazy but is she really?

love vengeful, murderous women !

I love this dude, but the translation was meh. Yet it feels wrong to give Euripides a rating on good reads?
