Rhesus, a tragedy traditionally (but wrongly) attributed to Euripides, has been the object of too little scholarly attention over the last decades. While debate has focused largely on the question of the play's authenticity, consequently overlooking the features of the play itself, this important new commentary explores the essential elements such as language, style, character-portrayal, and metre. The play's stagecraft and plot-construction are scrutinized and shown to be generally idiosyncratic and often defective despite occasional flashes of genius in the handling of dramatic time and theatrical space. Through the detailed introduction, translation, and commentary, Liapis shows that Rhesus is largely derivative, as it contains a significant amount of textual material taken from other classical tragedies and genres. The conclusion is that the contested author's familiarity with fifth-century drama bespeaks a professional actor, probably one specializing in re-performances of classical repertoire. Such evidence suggests that Rhesus can therefore be considered as not only a surviving fourth-century tragedy, but also one conceived for performance outside of Athens. ; 364 pages
Light bump to front upper corner. Else fine. ; The commentary offers a close reading of the satire. It traces the connecting thread through the various episodes. This exercise shows that in two places blocks of lines have been displaced in the vulgate tradition, one of them in the proximity of the “Oxford fragment”. Differences between the readings of manuscripts are confronted and, where possible, resolved. A text resulting from these textual discussions is printed. The commentary analyses the intertextual references that are threaded through the text. It separates out the voice of the moralist from that of the humorist, and identifies the author’s voice as mockingly anti-Caesarean. ; Collection Latomus Volume 329; 473 pages
