Alcestis is one of Euripides' richest and most brilliant - as well
as most controversial - plays. But, apart from D. J. Conacher's
student text, no annotated edition in English has appeared for more
than fifty years. The present work is designed to aid close reading
and to serve as an introduction to the serious study of the play in
its various aspects. The introduction covers the background to the
story in myth and folktale, its treatment by other writers from
antiquity to the present, the critical reception of Euripides'
play, and its textual transmission and metres. The notes are
designed in particular to help readers who have been learning Greek
for a relatively short time. More advanced matter, such as
discussion of textual problems, is placed in square brackets at the
end of the note.
