disagree. It would take numerous columns to mention all the renderings which we applaud, even in this single play."—Journal of Education.
"Very scholarly and skilful. Will be read with pleasure, even by those who cannot read the Greek. The lyrical passages are rendered with great spirit; their musical effect and power of language are undoubted."—Educational Review.
"Reflects credit on his enthusiasm, his energy, and his taste."—Pall Mall Gazette.
"Mr. Way keeps up the reputation which he has won as a translator."—Westminster Gazette.
"Mr. Way is doing good service by carrying on his excellent translation of Euripides. The blank-verse rendering is close and vigorous: in the choric passages he employs a great variety of metres, for the most part with noteworthy skill. Can be read with real pleasure, and ought to find a wide welcome."—Manchester Guardian.
"The second volume deserves the same praise as was here accorded to the first . . . Is likely to prove exceedingly helpful to English students of Greek literature."—Leeds Mercury.
"The continuation of a series of translations, at once so faithful and so poetical, will be looked forward to with impatience by both learned and unlearned readers. The introduction, on 'Euripides and his Work,' will be read with advantage by every student of Greek literature."—Scotsman.
"When the first volume of this spirited translation appeared, we ventured to predict that, if its successors were like it, Mr. Way's translation would take its place as the definitive English version of 'Sad Electra's poet.' The contents of the present voloume are in nowise calculated to make us unsay that prophecy. Mr. Way's accomplishments as a classical scholar make his translation an essentially faithful one; but it is perhaps less for that useful quality than for the much rarer one of literary merit that the reader's debt to him is owing. Thanks to him, one is now in a fair way to find the whole works of the most modern and intelligible of Greek tragedians in something else than a merely prosaic English medium. There is a remarkable variety in the rhythms and stanzas adopted for the choruses ; and altogether the renderings of these supremely difficult adornments of Greek tragedy must be pronounced the most brilliant part of the present translator's work."—Glasgow Herald.
