Read the introduction. Read the prefaces to the individual plays. Then see if you can resist the temptation to read the plays, even if you did groan over them in school or college Greek, or read them as an assignment in translation (bad translation at that). The Trojan Women by Euripides and the Prometheus and the Agamemnon of Aeschylus -- all in live, stirring translation that makes them seem essentially ""right"". Sell to all who liked The Greek Way, etc. To schools and colleges and public libraries.
