520    To begin with, Shakespeare had a complete grammar school 
       education, and Euripides, Sophocles and Aristophanes were 
       assigned reading! This book presents voluminous, striking,
       unmediated textual correspondences between the Greek and 
       Shakespearean plays, and illuminating historical 
       background. Not only should this prove the Shakespeare-
       Greek Drama connection, but that William Shakespeare 
       became "Shakespeare" because of his mastery of the ancient
       Greek treasury of Drama. Many of us associate Lady 
       Macbeth's special temper with some of the most blood-
       curdling lines in literature: I have given suck, and know 
       How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me; I would, 
       while it was smiling in my face, Have pluck'd my nipple 
       from his boneless gums, And dash'd the brains out, had I 
       so sworn As you have done to this. Shakespeare's precise 
       action image appears in 'Euripides' Iphigenia in Aulis', 
       from verses spoken by Clytemnestra. She says to Agamemnon:
       It was not of my own free will but by force that Thou 
       didst take and wed me, after slaying Tantalus, My former 
       husband, and dashing my babe on the ground alive, When 
       thou hadst torn him from my breast with brutal violence. 
       The derivation of Lady Macbeth's dashing image cannot be 
       in doubt. -- Product Description.
