Euripides
Diane Arnson Svarlien · 2008
Diane Arnson Svarlien's Hackett translation is the one I'd start with — clear and lively, alert to meter and tone, and widely praised as about as close to Euripides as English gets without going stiff. Strong introduction and notes. This is where I'd start.
John Davie · 2003
John Davie's Penguin translation pairs Medea with several other plays, so you get more Euripides for the money in readable modern English. The value pick if you want a fuller sampler.
James Morwood · 1997
James Morwood's Oxford translation is the scholarly-leaning option, with strong notes and introduction. A good study edition.
E. P. Coleridge · 1891
E. P. Coleridge's 19th-century translation is public domain and free. Faithful and dated; fine for sampling the play at no cost.
