Sophocles' Trachiniae is, in the editor's words, 'a subtle and
sophisticated play about primitive emotions'. It is also a play
which presents problems to a modern audience. Making full use of
recent Sphoclean scholarship, Mrs Easterling attempts in her
Introduction a detailed literary analysis of Trachiniae, helping
the reader to understand better its intricate structure, the
treatment of Deianira and Heracles, and the meaning of the final
scenes. The notes in the Commentary of grammar, syntax and style
include material which will be helpful to comparative beginners in
the language, but the commentary as a whole is intended for anyone
with a close interest in Greek tragedy. This is an edition for
classical scholars, undergraduates, and students in the upper forms
of schools. The Introduction is designed to be of use to readers
who do not know Greek, as well as to specialists.
