Review: COMPLETE WORKS by Euripides

Eurpides is the last of the Greek tragedians in the Great Books series. Having read his complete works, I'm left with three major questions,

1. What are a strophe and an antistrophe?
2. Why did Victorian translators feel like need to be intentionally archaic?
3. How is this a great book?

If it weren't for Aeschylus' and Sophocles' complete works, this would easily be the most boring thing I've ever read. If you like this, you are probably a very dull person who should be killed with fire.

I don't recommend it.
