Description
Sophocles' Electra is a drama that has sparked intense scholarly debate for centuries. This 2007 edition offers a fresh exploration of long-standing controversies, including the morality of Clytemnestra's killing, and delves into lesser-discussed topics such as rhetoric within the play and allusions to epinician poetry. The commentary provides original metrical analyses of the lyrical sections and a revised Greek text, built on research from papyri, medieval manuscripts, and printed editions. This results in an apparatus criticus that is more accurate than ever before, with many conjectures attributed to their rightful owners. For those interested in Sophocles' work or classical drama, this edition provides valuable insights into the complexities of Electra.
