|  | The Complete Plays of Jean Racine: Volume 3: Iphigenia
Publication Date: August 1, 2011| Series: Complete Plays of Jean Racine (Book 3) In Iphigenia, his ninth play, Racine returns to Greek myth for the first time since Andromache. To Euripides' version of the tale he adds a love interest between Iphigenia and Achilles. And dissatisfied with the earlier resolutions of the Iphigenia myth (her actual death or her eleventh-hour rescue by a dea ex machina), Racine creates a wholly original character, Eriphyle, who, in addition to providing an intriguing new denouement, serves the dual dramatic purpose of triangulating the love interest and galvanizi...

|  | The Poems of Catullus: A Bilingual Edition
Publication Date: August 2005Catullus, who lived during some of the most interesting and tumultuous years of the late Roman Republic, spent his short but intense life (?84-54 B.C.E.) in high Roman society, rubbing shoulders with various cultural and political luminaries, including Caesar, Cicero, and Pompey. Catullus's poetry is by turns ribald, lyric, romantic, satirical; sometimes obscene and always intelligent, it offers us vivid pictures of the poet's friends, enemies, and lovers.
