This is the first full-scale commentary on Euripides' Alexandros,
which is one of the best preserved fragmentary tragedies. It yields
insight into aspects of Euripidean style, ideology and dramatic
technique (e.g. rhetoric, stagecraft and imagery) and addresses
textual and philological matters, on the basis of a re-inspection
of the papyrus fragments. This book offers a reconstruction of the
play and an investigation of issues of characterization, staging,
textual transmission and reception, not least because Alexandros
has enjoyed a fascinating Nachleben in literary, dramaturgical and
performative terms. It also contributes to the readers'
understanding of the trends of later Euripidean drama, especially
the dramatist's innovation and experimentation with plot-patterns
and staging conventions. Furthermore, the analysis of Alexandros
could stimulate a more comprehensive reading of the extant Trojan
Women coming from the same production, which bears the features of
a 'connected trilogy'. Thus, the information retrieved through the
interrogation of the rich fragmentary material serves to supplement
and contextualize the extant tragic corpus, showcasing the vitality
and multiformity of Euripidean drama as a whole.
