Editorial Reviews

A full-length Greek text and extensive commentary that Gregory hopes will encourage the study of the play in undergraduate Greek courses. She attends to the needs of students who have little experience translating Greek tragedy, but are interested in the dramatic language and conventions and in the dramatic and historical context. She also includes material for more advanced scholars, bracketed to warn others away from deep water. This volume is part of a series formerly distributed by Scholars Press (which is now defunct); the American Philological Association now distributes its own publications. Annotation c.
