" ... it was whilst at a frivolous, rote-learning girls' school that ... [Frances Power Cobbe] developed her determined, methodical aproach [to reading] ... She read all the Faerie Queene, all of Milton's poetry, the Divina Commedia and Gerusalemme Liberata in the originals, and in translation the Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid, Pharsalia, and ... [nearly all] of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripedes, Ovid, Tacitus, Xenophon, Herodotus and Thucydides."

Euripedes : Orestes
Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 2 November 1832: 'I am glad you have been reading Euripedes. I have looked at the passages you referred me to, in my Euripedes, -- and I observe that I have marked them all three. A pencil line of admiration is drawn along the whole margin of the scene you speak of, in the Orestes.'
