Produced by Charles Aldarondo, Keren Vergon, Keith Edkins and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team. "The Tragedies of Euripides, Volume I" by Euripides is a collection of Greek tragedies written in ancient times, with a focus likely during the 5th century BC. This volume features significant plays such as "Hecuba," "Orestes," and "Medea," highlighting themes of suffering, revenge, and the human condition through the tragic narratives of its complex characters. The opening of the collection sets the tone with a detailed introduction that discusses Euripides' life, his impact on Greek theater, and an overview of the themes present in his tragedies. Specifically, the play "Hecuba" introduces the characters of Hecuba, the former queen of Troy, and her daughter Polyxena, who is fated to be sacrificed at Achilles' tomb. Through the chorus and the conversations between characters, the emotional turmoil and relentless despair of Hecuba are evident as she grapples with her losses and the indignities of enslavement, whetting the reader's appetite for the profound explorations of tragedy that follow in the subsequent plays.
