In nine paperback volumes, the Grene and Lattimore editions offer the most comprehensive selection of the Greek tragedies available in English. Over the years these authoritative, critically acclaimed editions have been the preferred choice of over three million readers for personal libraries and individual study as well as for classroom use.
These authoritative translations consign all other complete collections to the wastebasket. Robert Brustein, The New Republic
This is it. No qualifications. Go out and buy it everybody. Kenneth Rexroth, The Nation
The translations deliberately avoid the highly wrought and affectedly poetic; their idiom is contemporary....They have life and speed and suppleness of phrase. Times Education Supplement
These translations belong to our time. A keen poetic sensibility repeatedly quickens them; and without this inner fire the most academically flawless rendering is dead. Warren D. Anderson, American Oxonian
The critical commentaries and the versions themselves...are fresh, unpretentious, above all, functional. Commonweal
Grene is one of the great translators. Conor Cruise O'Brien, London Sunday Times
Richmond Lattimore is that rara avis in our age, the classical scholar who is at the same time an accomplished poet. Dudley Fitts, New York Times Book Review
