About this book

The pseudo-Euripidean Rhesus is the only extant Greek tragedy based on an episode from Homer’s Iliad and a unique witness for the history of the genre in the 4th century BC. This new edition, with introduction and commentary, discusses textual problems, language, metre and dramaturgy as well as the mythological and literary-historical background of the play. It is an indispensable aid for serious students of the text.

Reviews

"There is little to find fault with and much indeed to praise in this fine edition and commentary."
David Kovacs in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.10.29

"Fries has thus provided an excellent study of all aspects of the play, which will hopefully prompt further work on this much maligned yet fascinating drama."
Edmund Stewart in: Rivista di filologia e di istruzione classica 146 (2018), 533-536
