Gender and the City in Euripides' Political Plays - Mendelsohn, Daniel (Writer and critic living in New York and Lecturer in the Department of Classics at Princeton University)

Presenting a study of "Children of Herakles" and "Suppliant Women", this book uses different insights into the Greek conception of gender and the Athenian ideology of civic identity. It demonstrates the formal elegance and intellectual complexity of two works that have been dismissed as artistic failures within the poet's oeuvre.
