Euripides;¬Abar

Opis

Celebrated for its dramatic ingenuity, Euripides' earlier version of the myth that Aeschylus made famous has not been revised in English since 1895. Popular in antiquity and important in the development of classical Greek tragedy, this play is now offered in an expanded edition, which includes a detailed discussion of lyric meter and a consideration of many textual changes.

Recenzje

'Willink's commentary - the first in English since Wedd's in 1895 - deserves a warm welcome and not least for its consistent combination of precise scholarship with readiness to confront broad questions about Greek tragedy ... it will be the standard commentary for many years.' JACT Review
