A scholarly edition of Cyclops by Euripides. The edition presents an authoritative text, together with an introduction, commentary notes, and scholarly apparatus.
This paperback edition of Euripides'' Cyclops (first published in hardback in 1984) provides an invaluable introduction to the text for students. The play itself is the only example of satyric drama to have survived complete into the modern world. This edition uses the Oxford Classical Text, edited by James Diggle, and includes an introduction and commentary. In the introduction, a full historical and analytic account of the genre is given, reconstructing its origins, development, and decline; the place of satyrs in the religious imagination and practice of the Greeks, and the significance of Euripides'' divergences from the Homeric model, are also examined. The commentary looks closely at problems of text, language, and interpretation.
