That the works of the ancient tragedians still have an immediate
and profound appeal surely needs no demonstration, yet the modern
reader continually stumbles across concepts which are difficult to
interpret or relate to - moral pollution, the authority of oracles,
classical ideas of geography - as well as the names of unfamiliar
legendary and mythological figures. A New Companion to Greek
Tragedy provides a useful reference tool for the 'Greekless'
reader: arranged on a strictly encyclopaedic pattern, with headings
for all proper names occurring in the twelve most frequently read
tragedies, it contains brief but adequately detailed essays on
moral, religious and philosophical terms, as well as mythical
genealogies where important. There are in addition entries on Greek
theatre, technical terms and on other writers from Aristotle to
Freud, whilst the essay by P. E. Easterling traces some connections
between the ideas found in the tragedians and earlier Greek
thought.
