Synopsis

Few ancient authors are as challenging as Euripides, and few have provoked so many diverse critical opinions through the ages. This volume aims to bring together some classic essays illustrating the main strands of Euripidean criticism over the last forty years in a form convenient for students. Two of the essays are translated here for the first time, and many others have been revised by their authors. There is a general introduction by the editor surveying the scholarly tradition. All Greek has been translated.

Review:

"The series, Oxford Readings in Classical Studies, has enriched the study of a range of subjects, from the Greek novel to Aristophanes.... Mossman's collection of essays on Euripides capably illustrates the major issues in contemporary Euripidean criticism with a stimulating selection of often divergent approaches to this almost endlessly multi-faceted poet.... A highly useful and thought-provoking volume."--New England Classical Journal
