Ten of the extant plays by Euripides (Hecuba, Orestes, Phoenissae, Medea, Hippolytus, Andromache, Alcestis, Troades [Trojan Women], Rhesus, and Bacchae) are known as his 'select' plays, chosen for the quality of their language and the literature they represent.
In critical terms the "alphabetic plays" of Euripides are seen to be a group of plays which were not especially selected for preservation by the compilers of literature in classical times chosen for their quality, but seem only to have survived by the random principle of the alphabet, by the survival of one volume of the compilation of his works.
From a modern point of view Euripides, a younger contemporary of Sophocles, is known for his more nuanced and psychological portrayal of characters. His plays often challenge traditional values and explore the darker aspects of human nature. Medea and Electra, for example, depict women driven to extreme acts of revenge by anger and desperation. Euripides' characters are often deeply flawed and conflicted, but their struggles resonate with audiences on a profound level, making them relevant even today.

Text of Plays by Euripides: Drama Online - Euripides
Michael Wodhull (1740–1816) was the first translator into English verse of all the extant writings—nineteen tragedies and fragments—of Euripides. The work was completed (in 4 vols.) in 1782; new edition 1809 (3 vols.). His translation of Medea was vol. lxix. of Sir John Lubbock's Hundred Books; more of the plays in his translation were in Henry Morley's Universal Library.
