I only read 'women of Troy' in this book but it was very well written and I enjoyed reading those women's stories and their worries and fears and grief. I could really identify with those human emotions the women were displaying and it made me feel connected to the story and the era as a whole.

Euripides's plays are not as difficult to understand as I have expected. Rather, they are well plotted with clear and simple plots. Kenneth McLeish's excellent translation is a plus-point for this wonderful book of plays
