Author: SENECA,
Title: Medea. Edited with Introduction and Commentary by C.D.N. Costa.
Description: Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1973. 1st ed.XI,168p. Hard bound with dust wrps. Light remains of sticker to inside dust wrps. Some light foxing to edges. Else fine. (Rare thus). ?Mr. Costa?s ist the first detailed commentary ever to be produced in English on a Senecan tragedy. He gives all the linguistic and metrical help an undergraduate might need. He cites the relevant Euripidean parallels, and, without speculating on the contents of Ovid?s Medea, he provides the parallel material from Heroides and Metamorphoses. (?) His notes, without being ponderous, are meaty and discriminating.? (MICHAEL WINTERBOTTOM in The Classical Review (New Series), 1976, p.39).
