Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Vols. I and II: "The virtues of this first-rate edition are too numerous to catalog, and in any case, since they will stand enshrined in what is undoubtedly to be the standard text of Euripides for the next generation or two, they will receive as their just requital the gratitude of countless scholars and students in the future."--Classical Philology, 1984

"Diggle is to be congratulated for the high achievement represented by this volume....We look forward to the third...and are tempted to wish for a fourth."--Classical Philology, 1986

Praise for Vol. III: "As before, Diggle shows intimate knowledge of the previous editions and textual studies of Euripides, and he is ever alert to small changes that increase the clarity or elegance of the verse."--Classical Journal

This review is from: Fabulae: Volume III: Helena, Phoenissae, Orestes, Bacchae, Iphigenia Aulidensis, Rhesus (Oxford Classical Texts) (Vol 3) (Greek Edition) (Hardcover)

In English, Euripides: Tragedies, Volume III: Helen, Phoenician Women, Orestes, Bacchae, Iphigeneia in Aulis, Rhesos. Standard Oxford Classical Text edition of Euripides' late plays (and the Rhesos, which may be early Euripides or may be a later play that came to be confused with a play of Euripides), in Greek with Latin frontmatter and title, as edited by the widely respected Euripides textual scholar James Diggle. This is not so much a review as an attempt to correct the inaccurate title.
