Indispensible for understanding Euripides!, September 9, 2009
This review is from: Euripides, VII, Fragments: Aegeus-Meleager (Loeb Classical Library No. 504) (Hardcover)
This new Loeb edition (Vol. 1) of Euripides' fragments released in 2008 is a gem of historical proportions! Never before have all the collected fragments of Euripides been gathered together in their Greek originals alongside an English translation.
The translation is true to the original as well as readibly accesible in a comtemporary idiom by Euripides scholars Christopher Collard and Martin Cropp.
Contained in this volume is:
- Preface
- Introduction
- Chronology
- Abbreviations
- 35 PLAYS (A-M) in FRAGMENTS
- Index
Each play is prefaced by its own summary, which is nice since many are almost unintelligble by their minimal fragments.
I think that anyone who has a love for Ancient Greek drama, would benefit enormously from this collection in so many unimaginable ways!
