Reviews
'The student using this Commentary is by no means mollycoddled (your reviewer, coming across a wholly unfamiliar word, received no help from it), but where s/he will benefit greatly is from reading the introductions to (e.g.) the Parodos (64-69) and the Episodes, and, indeed, many individual notes within them: 453-9, for instance, is a model in this regard ... As so often, the reviewer asks himself whether this book would have been on his own wish list as an undergraduate (and recommended to others): the answer is an emphatic 'Yes'.' Colin Leach, Classics for All, 'The student using this Commentary is by no means mollycoddled (your reviewer, coming across a wholly unfamiliar word, received no help from it), but where s/he will benefit greatly is from reading the introductions to (e.g.) the Parodos (64-69) and the Episodes, and, indeed, many individual notes within them: 453-9, for instance, is a model in this regard ... As so often, the reviewer asks himself whether this book would have been on his own wish list as an undergraduate (and recommended to others): the answer is an emphatic 'Yes'.' Colin Leach, 'This new work offers a thorough introduction, new text, and full commentary, covering the wide swath of issues that one must address in such a work, and, while taking advantage of the notable achievements of Dodds and others, reflects the deeper knowledge and changed perspective on many of the play's issues and topics. Without qualification, I recommend it strongly for students and scholars alike.' Michael Halleran, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Synopsis
Euripides' Bacchae is one of the most widely read and performed Greek tragedies. A story of implacable divine vengeance, it skilfully transforms earlier currents of literature and myth, and its formative influence on modern ideas of Greek tragedy and religion is unparalleled. This up-to-date edition offers a detailed literary and cultural analysis. The wide-ranging Introduction discusses such issues as the psychological and anthropological aspects of Dionysiac ritual, the god's ability to blur gender boundaries, his particular connection to dramatic role-playing, and the interaction of belief and practice in Greek religion. The Commentary's notes on language and style are intended to make the play fully accessible to students of Greek at all levels, while the edition as a whole is designed for anyone with an interest in Greek tragedy or cultural history., An up-to-date edition of one of the most widely read and performed Greek tragedies. Offers new interpretative suggestions and provides detailed guidance on problems of language and dramaturgy. Ideal for students of Greek at all levels, while also of interest to scholars of Greek literature and cultural history.

    I appreciate the deal I was able to get on both books I ordered. They came as pictured and described in the listing and look good! My only complaint is the packaging could be better, I got two paperback books that were not shipped in a box but rather and envelope and one of the covers arrived bent. So I would recommend the seller use bubblewrap or a box to ship future orders.
