Reviews
'The thoroughness of the editors’ work is manifest (and laudable) throughout, with ‘much discussion of plot, characters and dramaturgy’...This has been a labour of love (and on a Heraclean scale) for the editors, who deserve our thanks and congratulations.'<br />Colin Leach, <i>Classics for All</i>
'This edition is an
admirable achievement and will be required reading for anyone interested in
this Greek tragedy.'<br /><b></b>George Kovacs, <i>Bryn Mawr Classical Review</i> <br />
