A group of Argive women has come to Eleusis to ask King Theseus and his city of Athens to bring about the burial of their sons who are being denied it by their Theban conquerors. Theseus is confronted with a challenge which at first he declines to take up, but then does so magnificently. The range of the play's debate is astonishing.

About the Author:
James Morwood is an Emeritus Fellow of Wadham College, Oxford. Among his numerous publications are translations of eleven Euripides plays (including Iphigenia at Aulis) in the Oxford World’s Classics series, an edition of Euripides, Suppliants in this series, The Tragedies of Sophocles (Bristol Phoenix Press 2008) and The Plays of Eurpides (revised edition, Bloomsbury 2016). His interest in drama goes beyond the classical world and he has written The Life and Works of Richard Brinsley Sheridan and co-edited Sheridan Studies.
Review:
a very thorough and scholarly account of...an unjustly neglected play.' (Neill Croally JACT, 2007)
The many qualities of this volume will enable numerous readers to enjoy the discovery of this magnificent play which, as James Morwood reminds us, has too long been considered as a minor work by Euripides, a play of political propaganda. Each part of the book, the Introduction, Translation and Commentary, aims to facilitate reading and stimulate interest, without drowning the reader in technical details concerning Euripides language or the editing of his work.' (Aurelie Wach Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2007)
