This volume brings together forty years of scholarship by one of the major scholars of Greek tragedy and of Euripides over several decades. Of the twenty papers collected here, thirteen explore tragedy in general and Euripides in particular, but with emphasis on textual questions – transmission, interpretation, verbal criticism – and dramatic form.
