Only editions with the same content should be combined. So when editions with the same title (Medea and Other Plays) contain different plays, they should not be combined. Posting here as a project is fine.From the Librarian Manual on omnibus/box set titles:
If the edition has a separate title, the list of included titles may be treated as a subtitle
https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...
Found the plays for most of the editions and separated into five different works:Medea / Alcestis / The Children of Heracles / Hippolytus: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Medea / Hecabe / Electra / Heracles: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
(this one has some editions I could not verify)
Alcestis / Medea / The Bacchae: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...
Medea / Hippolytus / Electra / Helen: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Alcestis / Medea / Helen / Cyclops: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
And of course some of these combinations were also published with a different title (like "Three Plays of Euripides: Alcestis/Medea/The Bacchae", vs. "Medea and Other Plays: Alcestis / Medea / The Bacchae").I think I've got all these also combined.

Medea and Other Plays. The biggest lump is found here Medea and Other Plays but there is another set here Medea and Other Plays. I found the one I read where someone had added play titles here Medea and Other Plays Medea/Hecabe Electra/Heracles (it's grouped with the first set I linked, but I edited Heracles from Hercules).
I don't come here very often and wasn't sure if this is considered a project or even if I should make one.
