Euripidea Altera

by David Kovacs

This volume, which continues the textual discussions section of the author's Euripidea (Brill, 1994), discusses those passages in Euripides' Heraclidae, Hippolytus, Andromache, Hecuba, Supplices, Electra, Heracles , and Troades - the plays of the author's Loeb Euripides, volumes Two and Three - where text or translation was in need of explanation or justification. A large number of new conjectures are proposed and some forgotten conjectures argued for.
