Hippolytus Temporizes & Ion

H.D.´s 1927 adaptation of Euripides´ Hyppolitus 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.
