Read this for an undergraduate history course.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Readable and Contemporary TranslationBy Weizi DaiI have two Medea from two translators.Philip Vellacott and Nicholas Rudall.I compared them and I like Dr. Rudalls translation because it is easy to readfor someone who is a high school student or ESL student.Moreover; the language that Dr. Rudall uses is modern and it "gives individual characters specific speech patters (as Euripides surely did). Medea is quick; deeply ironic; occasionally morbidly funny; and capable of passions ranging from seething anger to weeping regret. Jason is a politician. He speaks well and lies--perhaps believing that he speaks the truth."Moreover; Id like to have a thin and pocket book to carry so I chose to keep this copy.
