Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker (1784 1868) championed a comprehensive
approach to antiquity, embracing history, literature, art and
religion. This, and his openness to contemporary philosophical
ideas about aesthetics and mythology, gave his work a visionary
quality that inspired later figures as diverse as Usener and
Wilamowitz. In this three-volume work on tragedy, his largest,
published between 1839 and 1841, he attempts to reconstruct all the
lost trilogies and tetralogies of Greek tragic theatre, insisting
on their artistic unity, and demonstrating their fundamental debt
to the Epic Cycle (which he had investigated in his Der Epische
Cyclus, also reissued in this series). Amid much that is fantastic
he made many brilliant discoveries, such that he must still be
consulted by all serious students of the subject. Volume 2
discusses Euripides, and the Trojan and Theban epic cycles.
