Outstepping the literal bounds of genre, Euripides' Helen has been referred to by scholars as both a tragedy and a comedy. In this sensitive new translation by James Michie and Colin Leach, Euripides' fragile structure of subtlety, in both timing and tone, is beautifully preserved. From the myth ascribed to the Sicilian poet Stesichorus, Helen plays on the question of two Helens: one a phantom in Troy, and the other the real Helen who remained in Egypt. A myriad of reversals, thought-provoking examples of differing orders of reality, and juxtapositions of opposites, allow Euripides to comment on the futility of war and the distinction between appearance and reality.

Well I know women have always a bitter a lot to bear, still it's best to bear as lightly as we may the ills that life is heir to.

評分又是Helen。不過在這本書裏這個女人終於不再是一個美的象徵,而是有鮮活的性格的角色瞭,雖然她選擇的權利不多而且聰明得有點詭異。這本劇裏描述瞭一些倫理問題。每個人都覺得自己是公平的,以批判彆人的不公。但其實從頭到尾所有的公義(justice)都是相對的,沒有絕對的公義(absolute right)在裏麵。知道瞭這件事情以後我突然想到,嗯…可能因為希臘的神有太多個瞭吧。
