'G.'s volume is the fourth Euripidean tragedy to appear in the Duckworth Companions to Greek and Roman tragedy series. The aim of the series is to provide accessible introductions to ancient tragedies by (i) discussing the main themes of the paly and the central developments in modern criticism, (ii) addressing the play's historical context and (iii) outlining the history of its performance and adaptation. (...) The volume's strength is its handling of themes and of developments in modern criticism. (...) The book is in general a good introduction to a play which can seem obscure to the non-specialist.'
