Comprising compelling and at times contrasting mixtures of Cuban and Hellenic elements, these adaptations represent a rich tradition of engagement with ancient Greek drama that foregrounds contemporary Cuban social and political realities.\r\nPresented in a bilingual format, both in the original Spanish and a facing English translation, this anthology makes these innovative texts accessible to scholars, teachers, and students of multiple disciplines, including Classics, Theatre and Performance Studies, and Spanish, Caribbean, and Latin American Studies.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosa Andújar\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient Studies at Barnard College, Columbia University.
