Zusatztext Much more than a commentary on a single play. An extensive introduction takes in the whole genre ... This work will be regarded as authoritive and deserves to be. Informationen zum Autor R.A.S. Seaford is Professor of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Exeter, UK. His publications include Cosmology and The Polis: the Social Construction of Space and Time in the Tragedies of Aeschylus ( 2012), Dionysos (2006) , and Money and the Early Greek Mind ( 2004). Klappentext This is an introduction to Euripides' "Cyclops", the only example of satyric drama to have survived complete into the modern world. The work gives an historical and analytical account of the genre, tracing its origins, development and decine. It examines the place of satyrs in the religious imagination and practice of the Greeks, and the significance of Euripides' divergence from the Homeric model. The commentary pays close attention to problems of text, language and interpretation.
