Orestes

Zusatztext 'Willink's commentary - the first in English since Wedd's in 1895 - deserves a warm welcome and not least for its consistent combination of precise scholarship with readiness to confront broad questions about Greek tragedy ... it will be the standard commentary for many years.' JACT Review Zusammenfassung Despite its great popularity in antiquity, and its importance as a link between classical Greek tragedy and later theatrical developments, this is the first English edition of Euripides' play published since 1895. The text is accompanied by explanatory notes which emphasize the lyric metres.
