The early models for the Imagist group were from Japan, and H.D. often visited the exclusive Print Room at the British Museum in the company of Richard Aldington and the curator and poet Laurence Binyon, in order to examine Nishiki-e prints that incorporated traditional Japanese verse. However, she also derived her way of making poems from her reading of Classical Greek literature and especially of Sappho, an interest she shared with Aldington and Pound, each of whom produced versions of the Greek poet's work. In 1915, H.D. and Aldington launched the Poets' Translation Series, pamphlets of translations from Greek and Latin classics. H.D. worked on the plays by Euripides, publishing in 1916 a translation of choruses from "Iphigeneia at Aulis", in 1919 a translation of choruses from "Iphigeneia at Aulis" and "Hippolytus", an adaptation of "Hippolytus" called "Hippolytus Temporizes" (1927), a translation of choruses from "The Bacchae" and "Hecuba" (1931), and "Euripides' Ion" (1937) a loose translation of "Ion".
