Bacchae (Norton Library) (1版)

《酒神的女信徒》基本上呈現宗教與政治的衝突，但因所有希臘神祇中，酒神的性質最為複雜又最多層面，劇情隨之顯得浩瀚深邃。書中一方面回應希臘的歷史與傳說，酒神來到希臘要建立自己的新教，遭到國王彭休斯的強烈反對；另一方面，它也是人類政治與宗教發展的縮影，其前瞻性至今仍可成為處理類似衝突的指南針。 尤瑞匹底斯與索福克勒斯、埃斯庫羅斯被喻為希臘悲劇三大師，其知名經典劇目如《梅狄亞》等至今仍是劇場演出或小說創作的靈感來源。 "Poochigian’s translation is a triumph—a remarkably lucid and vibrant rendition... The script’s language is precise yet sonorous, expertly constructed in iambic pentameter to both moving and chilling effect. " — Aram Kouyoumdjian, Asbarez "By far the most theatrically assured rendition of the play I’ve encountered. The fluid translation by Aaron Poochigian is as mercurial as the staging." — Charles McNulty, The Los Angeles Times
