Rhesus And Helen

Rhesus and Helen (1965) – Euripides (Macmillan)
Offered by Crappy Old Books

Two Euripidean oddities in one slim, respectable-looking Macmillan volume. Rhesus—probably not even by Euripides, but it’s been keeping scholars arguing for centuries—and Helen, where Euripides decides the whole Trojan War might have been fought over the wrong woman entirely. A neat little hardback for those who like their classics with a side of textual doubt and improbable plots. Binding solid, pages aged to the colour of weak tea, dust jacket (if present) battered in that uniquely "Crappy Old Books" fashion. Perfect for anyone who enjoys Greek tragedy, or simply wants something highbrow to leave lying around the coffee table.

This is an ex-school book from Old Palace school in Croydon.
