Euripides; John C. Gibert

Opis

By attending to language, style, meter, dramatic technique, and context, this up-to-date edition makes an appealing and under appreciated play accessible to students, scholars, and readers of Greek at all levels. While recognizing the play's light touches, it takes its exploration of Apollo's Oracle, Ion's piety, and Creusa's suffering seriously.

Recenzje

'… the relation between the relative slenderness of the volume and the wealth of material is striking … the book provides information, new ideas, and food for thought for all constituencies.' Gunther Martin, Eirene. Studia Graeca et Latina
