Ahl's translations of three Senecan tragedies will gratify and challenge readers and performers. With stage performance specifically in mind, Ahl renders Seneca's dramatic force in a modern idiom and style that move easily between formality and colloquialism as the text demands, and he strives to reproduce the richness of the original Latin, to retain the poetic form, images, wordplays, enigmas, paradoxes, and dark humor of Seneca's tragedies. In this powerful and imaginative translation of Medea, Frederick Ahl retains the compelling effects of the monologues, as well as the special feeling and pacing of Seneca's choruses.

This is a really good story for all of you from ancient roman tragedy enthusiasts to someone looking to get a cynical laugh out of a play. Medea is basically a strong-willed woman in love that becomes jealous and psychotic. I had to read this for a class and really enjoyed the book. I highly recommend it.
