Euripidea

Testimonia to the life of Euripides are printed in one place for the first time, together with an English translation, making possible critical assessment of the biographical tradition. There is also textual discussion of passages in Cyclops, Alcestis, and Medea. Euripidea contains material to supplement Volume One of the author's Loeb Euripides. It consists of two parts, Testimonia Vitae et Artis Selecta and Textual Discussions.
The Testimonia, ancient notices about the life of Euripides and his career as a tragic poet, are printed together for the first time, together with a facing English translation. The Loeb Introduction examines this material critically. Equipped with this body of evidence, students of Greek tragedy and of ancient biography will be able to assess for themselves the reliability of the biographical tradition, in which, the author argues, too much confidence has been placed by interpreters of the plays.
The Textual Discussions explain places in the plays of Volume One, Cyclops, Alcestis and Medea, where the text adopted by the editor calls for comment.
