This volume provides a thorough philological and dramatic
commentary on Euripides' Phoenissae, the first detailed commentary
in English since 1911. Phoenissae is of special interest both as a
specimen of late Euripidean dramaturgy, and as the subject of
longstanding disputes over the extent of interpolation and
rewriting to be detected in it. This commentary aims to offer a
balanced treatment of issues of language, style, structure, and
dramatic technique as well as to explain the reasons for and
uncertainties of the constitution of the text. The introduction
treats the play's structure and themes, the possible date, the
features of the original production, the varied background of
Theban myth against which Euripides' choices and innovations may be
judged, and general issues relevant to the problem of
interpolation. The Greek text is that of the author's 1988 Teubner
edition.
