Frederick Apthorp Paley (1815 1888) published Volume 3 of his
English commentary on Euripides in 1860. It contains the Greek text
of Euripides' plays Hercules Furens, Phoenissae, Orestes, Iphigenia
in Tauris, Iphigenia in Aulide, and Cyclops, each with an
introductory essay. Paley's detailed commentary is given at the
foot of each page of Greek text. It discusses Euripides' language
and style, explaining difficult grammatical structures, syntax and
vocabulary; poetic form and Euripides' innovative approach to
composing tragedy; textual variation between manuscripts; the
historical and literary context of each play; and their reception
history. Paley's work greatly influenced Euripidean scholarship:
for over a century it was a widely used teaching tool in schools
and universities. An outstanding piece of classical scholarship and
a key text in the history of Euripidean interpretation, it deserves
continued consideration by future generations of scholars and
students.
