|  | The Medea
Publication Date: April 16, 20041912. Murray has translated the text into English rhyming verse with explanatory notes.

Publication Date: January 19, 2009| ISBN-10: 0520247353 | ISBN-13: 978-0520247352| Edition: 1 The previous two volumes of this acclaimed anthology set forth a globally decentered revision of twentieth-century poetry from the perspective of its many avant-gardes.
