AESCHYLUS; ALAN H. SOMMERSTEIN (ED. )

Aeschylus: Eumenides

Cambridge University Press, 1989. Softcover. ISBN: 0521284309. Scholar's name to ffep (Bonnie Maclachlan [née Ward]). Very minor shelfwear. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 324 pages; Sommerstein presents a freshly constituted text, with introduction and commentary, of Eumenides, the climactic play of the only surviving complete Greek tragic trilogy, the Oresteia of Aeschylus. Of all Athenian tragic dramas, Eumenides is most consciously designed to be relevant to the situation of the Athenian state at the time of its performance (458 B.C.) and seems to have contained daring innovations both in technique and in ideas. The introduction and commentary to this edition seek to bring out how Aeschylus shaped to his purpose the legends he inherited, and ended the tragic story of Agamemnon's family in a celebration of Athenian civic unity and justice. The commentary also pays attention to the linguistic, metrical and textual problems to be encountered by the reader.. Very Good+ .

SOPHOCLES; T. B. L. WEBSTER (ED. )

Sophocles: Philoctetes

Cambridge University Press, 1994. Softcover. ISBN: 0521098904. Scholar's name to ffep (Bonnie Maclachlan [née Ward]). Very minor shelfwear. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 177 pages; The theme of Sophocles' Philoctetes is of lasting significance. It revolves round Neoptolemus' struggles with his conscience, and Philoctetes' strength in adversity and refusal to accept any compromise. Sophocles explores the relationship between the two central characters with powerful subtlety. The main emphasis in Professor Webster's commentary is on explaining the impact of the play through metre and language rather than on the examination and comparison of points of grammatical and syntactical usage. He deals with all the essential problems of the play at a level appropriate to the needs of students in the upper forms of schools and at university.. Very Good+ .
