Book Description
The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Book Description
One of the greatest of the classical Greek dramas, based on the Greek legend of the Titan demi-god who, against the will of Zeus, stole fire from the gods for the benefit of man. His terrible punishment by Zeus, and his continuing defiance of Zeus in the face of that punishment, remain universal symbols of man's vulnerability in any struggle with the gods.

Agememnon is the first part of the Aeschylus's Orestian trilogy in which the leader of the Greek army returns from the Trojan war to be murdered by his treacherous wife Clytemnestra. In Sophocles' Oedipus Rex the king sets out to uncover the cause of the plague that has struck his city, only to disover the devastating truth about his relationship with his mother and his father. Medea is the terrible story of a woman's bloody revenge on her adulterous husband through the murder of her own children.

St. Smite harder, clinch them fast, leave nothing slack: A chink will serve him, though all doors be barred. 60 He. One arm at least inextricably is fixed. St. Clasp now the other safely: let him learn His wisdom is but dullness, matched with Zeus. He. Except of him, I shall not merit blame. St. Now, stubborn-fanged, an adamantine wedge Drive through his breast and rivet with thy might. He. Ah, I am grieved, Prometheus, for thy pain. St. Lingering again, and for the foes of Zeus Grieved? Have a care, or soon thyself thou'lt pity. He. Thou seest an evil sight for eyes to see. 70 St. I see this fellow punished as befits. Come, round his sides lash now the belly-girths. He. It must be done, thy needless chiding spare. St. Chide thee I shall--yea, hound thee to thy work. Down, and with gyves perforce enring his legs. He. Lo, how with no long toil the work is done. St. Now with thy might smite home the linked fetters: Thou hast no easy taskmaster to please. He. Too well thy accents and thy form accord. St. Be tender-hearted thou, but blame not me, 80 That I am stubborn and implacable. He. The chains are round his limbs; let us be gone. St. Here, if thou canst, insult; and short-lived men Grace with the stolen honours of the gods. Can mortals ease thee of thy load of pain?
