Hippolytos in Bloomington, MN

Robert Bagg's profound translation of this Euripidean masterpiece is idiomatic, natural, and intensely lyrical, designed not only to be read but performed. Unlike most versions, Bagg's
Hippolytos
sustains the dramatic tome and dynamics to the very end—even after Phaidra's death—and the moving scenes between Hippolytos and Theseus, and later Hippolytos' death-scene with Artemis, receive here unprecedented plausibility and power.
