Download or read book Hippolytus Temporizes & Ion written by Hilda Doolittle and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H.D.'s 1927 adaptation of Euripides' Hippolytus Temporizes and her 1937 translation of Ion appeared midpoint in her career. These two verse dramas can both be considered as "freely adapted" from plays by Euripides; they constitute a commentary in action, and in this regard resemble W.B. Yeats's Oedipus plays and Ezra Pound's Women of Trachis.
