Euripides: Selected Fragmentary Plays: Volume I

by Liverpool University Press

Overview

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.
