Full Description

Originally published in 1905, this book contains four lengthy essays by the classical scholar A. W. Verrall on four plays by Euripides: Andromache, Helen, Orestes and Heracles, all of which Verrall considers to have been overlooked by contemporary scholarship. Verrall's assessment remains of use as a guide to these still-understudied plays, and will be of value to anyone with an interest in ancient drama.
