Synopsis "Last Thoughts on Euripides. A Companion to the Revised Edition of the Second Volume of the Oxford Classical Text"

Last Thoughts on Euripides is a companion to the second edition of volume II of the Oxford Classical Text edition of Euripides. James Diggle explains choices made in that edition, assesses developments in scholarship, and advances a number of new proposals concerning the plays.

Last Thoughts on Euripedes is a companion to the second edition of volume II of the Oxford Classical Text of Euripides, which contains a radically revised text and apparatus criticus of six textually problematic plays. Its purpose is to explain and justify the choices which the author has made in that second edition, to assess what others have achieved or have failed to achieve in the more than forty years since the first edition was published, and to advance a number of new proposals concerning the plays. This volume shares its format with the author''s Studies on the Text of Euripides (1981), which accompanied the first edition, but it comprehends a much large number of passages. Wherever possible, the discussions are used as a basis for pursuing topics of wider interest (linguistic, stylistic, or metrical), which will be of value not just to future commentators on the six plays but to readers and scholars of Euripides and Greek tragedy more generally. In a final chapter, the author advances arguments for a new identification of the corrector of one of the manuscripts.
