Pages : 298
Book Description
The fragmentary plays of Euripides are a body of texts still regularly increasing in number and extent. They are of very great interest in themselves, apart from the significant aid they give to the fuller appreciation of the surviving complete plays. This two-volume edition brings together for the first time for English readers the more substantial and important of the plays, about fifteen in all. Each play is introduced by a summary bibliography and an appreciative essay which analyses the mythic background and plot: reconstructs the play as far as the fragmentary text and secondary evidence allow; and discusses themes, characterisation, staging, date, reflections of the story in art and other dramatisations. For each play the fragmentary texts are presented as conveniently and succinctly as possible, together with a brief critical apparatus of sources and readings. An English translation stands on the facing page. The text and translation of each play are followed by a short, primarily interpretative commentary. Text with facing translation, commentary and notes.

Sophocles
Selected Fragmentary Plays
Author: Sophocles
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781800343214
Category : Greek drama (Tragedy)
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
The Athenian tragic dramatist Sophocles wrote over 120 plays in his 60 year career, of which only seven have survived complete. This volume presents what is known, or can be inferred or conjectured, about half a dozen plays known to us only from quotations, indirect references, and occasionally a papyrus. The selection includes four plays about the Trojan War and its aftermath, all concerned with Achilles or his son Neoptolemus ('The Diners', 'Troilus', 'Polyxene', and 'Hermione'), and two presenting episodes from Athenian legend ('Tereus' and 'Phaedra'). The editors have taken a special interest in the history of the myths that Sophocles dramatised and the often startling modifications he made to them; several of the plays also throw important light on parallel dramas of Euripides such as 'Hippolytus', 'Andromache', and 'Hecuba'. The book presents Greek text with facing-page translation.
