About this book
This volume, which continues the textual discussions section of the author's Euripidea (Brill, 1994), discusses those passages in Euripides'Heraclidae, Hippolytus, Andromache, Hecuba, Supplices, Electra, Heracles, and Troades - the plays of the author's Loeb Euripides, volumes Two and Three - where text or translation was in need of explanation or justification. A large number of new conjectures are proposed and some forgotten conjectures argued for.
