Euripides, Is She Not Looking Her Best?

Madea is not looking her best. Euripides doesen't like to stay away from divine representation, he's more interested in what humans are doing. She still looked quite beautiful, but she's not her best looking so it would actually weaken the argument the calon kept on applying to her at this point. But i think that was due to other factors mitigatme, circumstances. And er, shes really very sad. So the caloncacon stuff almost doesn't apply in euripidess, my dear. Because she is notLookingHerBest: The Complete Works of Euripides by Pater Noster (Penguin), £16.99
