Editorial Reviews

"A major event in Euripidean scholarship...The glory of the book is its voluminous notes, exhibiting scholarship which is old-fashioned in the best sense (of encyclopeadic thoroughness)....It must remain the definitive edition of the Heracles for many years to come."—Hermathena

"By so intelligently and often penetratingly discussing patterns of language, Bond contributes much to the interpretation of this deeply disturbing and moving play."—Times Higher Education Supplement
