I had read Prometheus Bound and Oedipus Rex before, but Electra, Medea, and Bacchae, were all new to me. I can't honestly say they (Electra, Medea, and Bacchae) were all that great or nearly as good as Bound or Rex. Electra (the play) I find is more about Orestes (which isn't surprising since Sophocles did a trilogy on Orestes) and so she is diminished as a character and in importance in the play and is more a mere moaner and basically a "damsel in distress". Medea is..... just..... ehh...... so hard to find any one sympathetic (other than the children obviously), and just so lackluster in idea and plot that I don't find myself truly caring. Bacchae I just couldn't get into. Its more a rhetorical and hypothetical and abstract play that mostly flies over my head I'm afraid. Even with knowing what it is talking about I find it going over my head because it seems too abstract and just not important or interesting enough. Worth the read though to know and understand the ancient Greeks, just wish I could have gotten into the plays a bit more like I could the Orestes trilogy or the various Oedipus plays or Prometheus Bound or the numerous other plays I've read of Greece.

Five of the greatest Greek tragedies, each in an outstanding translation, include Oedipus Rex and Electra by Sophocles (translated by George Young); Medea and Bacchae by Euripides (translated by Henry Hart Milman); and Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus (translated by George Thomson), a monumental work that examines relations between humans and the gods.
