Oxford: Oxbow Books, 2013. — 539 p. — (Aris and Phillips Classical Texts). Satyric is the most thinly attested genre of Greek drama, but it appears to have been the oldest and according to Aristotle formative for tragedy. By the 5th Century BC at Athens it shared most of its compositional elements with tragedy, to which it became an adjunct; for at the annual great dramatic...
Brill, 2009. — xii, 580 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 314). This volume is arguably one of the most important studies of Euripides to appear in the last decade. Not only does it offer incisive examinations of many of Euripides' extant plays and their influence, it also includes seminal examinations of a number of Euripides’ fragmentary plays. This approach represents a novel and...
Oxford Clarendon Press, 1960. — LIX + 253 p. "Using to the full the last half century's great accessions to the comparative study of religion, [Dodds] has given a coherent and convincing reconstruction of the Dionysiac background--and, indeed, foreground--of the play, illustrating it with many instructive non-Greek and modern parallels... Equally instructive and stimulating is the...
Kearns Emily (ed.). — Cambridge University Press, 2023. — 344 p. — (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics).

De Gruyter, 2024. — 182 p. — (Sozomena 21). A recently-published second-century papyrus, P.Oxy. 5283, contains prose summaries (hypotheses) of six plays by the Greek dramatist Euripides, including two lost plays depicting the hero Perseus, Dictys and Danaë. This book demonstrates the significance of this discovery for our understanding of Greek tragedy. After setting out the...
Cornell University Press, 2019. — 288 p. Ritual Irony is a critical study of four problematic later plays of Euripides: the Iphigenia in Aulis , the Phoenissae , the Heracles , and the Bacchae .

Brill, 1985. — xi, 302 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 87). This book contains an introduction to the text of and a commentary on the fragments of two plays by Euripides, the Kresphontes (ca. 424 B.C.) and the Archelaos (ca. 408/7 B.C.). Fragments of both plays are preserved in quotations by other writers and in recently published papyri. The introduction discusses aspects of the...
Cambridge University Press, 2020. — 278 p. — (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics). Euripides' Cyclops is the only example of Attic satyr-drama which survives intact. It is a brilliant dramatisation of the famous story from Homer's Odyssey of how Odysseus blinded the Cyclops after making him drunk. The play has much to teach us, not just about satyr-drama, but also about the...
Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2004. — 1164 p. Two impressive books containing the edition of Euripides' fragments make up the fifth and concluding volume of the series Tragicorum Graecorum Fragmenta, edited by Bruno Snell, Richard Kannicht and Stefan Radt from 1981 onwards in replacement of Nauck's late nineteenth century second edition of the tragic fragments. The third and the fourth...
Brill Academic Pub, 2009. — 274 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 296). The prominent role of women in Greek drama has always fascinated readers. This book proposes that women in Euripides' plays communicate in ways constructed by the tragic genre itself as 'female.' Yet these women's words are surprisingly not uniformly dangerous or excessively emotional, as has traditionally been...
Brill, 1993. — ix, 181 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 132). Euripidea contains material to supplement Volume One of the author's Loeb Euripides. It consists of two parts, Testimonia Vitae et Artis Selecta and Textual Discussions.

Brill, 1996. — x, 160 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 161). 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...
Brill, 2003. — x, 196 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 240). Euripidea Tertia is a companion volume to the Loeb Classical Library edition of Euripides. It discusses places in the text primarily of the late plays where the editor's choice of variants or adoption of conjectures required some explanation and also places where the translation needed explaining. The plays covered are...
Walter De Gruyter, 2016. — X + 445 p. — (Trends in Classics - Supplementary Volumes 31). A major, defining polarity in Euripidean drama, wisdom and folly, has never so far been the subject of a book-length study. The volume aims at filling this gap. Virtually all Euripidean characters, from gods to slaves, are subject to some aspect of folly and claim at least some measure of...
Berlin: De Gruyter, 2006. — 516 p. — (Untersuchungen zur antiken Literatur und Geschichte 80). This work is the first major commentary on Euripides' Iphigenia in Tauris to appear in English in more than 65 years. It offers detailed analysis of a fascinating play that scholars so far had considered mainly as a source of information about Athenian cult and viewed as a romantic...
De Gruyter, 2010. — 262 p.— (Trends in Classics - Supplementary Volumes 6). Euripides’ Phoenissae bears one of the richest tragic plots: multiple narrative levels are interwoven by means of various anachronies, focalizers offer different and often challenging points of view, while a complex mythical matrix is deftly employed as the backdrop against which the exploration of the...
Oxford University Press, 2016. — 321 p. Although modern readers continue to believe that in his dramas Euripides was questioning the nature and sometimes even the existence of the gods, and that through his dramas he sought to reveal the flaws in the traditional religious beliefs of his own time, this book argues that instead of seeking to undermine ancient religion, Euripides...

Brill, 2007. — xii, 220 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 286). This book attempts to view Medea in a positive light: looking not just at her failed relationships, but also at her successful ones and commenting on her intellect rather than just her clever manipulations of men. It tries to see her (or her author, who brings Medea home to Athens), as something of a political hero. The...
Brill, 1995. — xvi, 255 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 153). The Gorgon's Severed Head looks at three plays of Euripides, one early, one middle and one late in his career.

This unique volume is an accessible yet in-depth narratological study of Euripides' Alcestis. It contextualizes the play in terms of its reception by the original audience, locating the intricate narrative tropes of the plot in the dynamics of fifth-century Athenian...
Fondo de Cultura Económica, 1949. — 202 p. La mayoría de los volúmenes de esta colección tratan vastos temas y asuntos de reconocida importancia para las “grandes masas” de hoy en día. AI consagrar el presente volumen a un solo escritor, tan distante ya de nosotros por su época y su civilización, y apenas conocido por algo más que su nombre para la mayoría de los lectores de esta...
Brill, 1984. — vii, 200 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 78). The purpose of this book is to investigate what it was Euripides intended to convey to the theatre-going public of his day when he wrote his most exciting and most gruesome play, the Bacchae. The meanings which are to be attached to the action of a play are woven by an audience, both during and after the performance,...

Brill, 1994. — xiii, 364 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 128). This work challenges recent critical assessments that emphasize the allegedly subversive elements in Euripides' play. The Orestes is found to present a curious mélange of early and late Euripidean features, resulting in a drama where the tragic potential of Orestes' predicament becomes lost amid the moral, political...
De Gruyter, 2014. — 376 p. — (Untersuchungen zur Antiken Literatur und Geschichte 66). What is the tragic in Euripides' Bacchae? A nowadays predominant view sees it in the self-reflexion of the genus 'tragedy' and the medium 'theatre': The presence of the theatre god Dionysos on stage turns the tragic of the Bacchae into metatragic. In contrast, by carefully scrutinizing the...
Brill, 1990. — 227 p. — (Amsterdam Studies in Classical Philology 1). ‘No other play of Euripides has been so much discussed as the Bacchae; very few have been the subject of such exact and careful study on the linguistic side’. Thus opens the preface to the first edition of Dodds' commentary. One might subscribe to these words nowadays even more readily than at their original...
Oxford University Press, 2008. — 411 p. This book is the first to examine the reception and performance history of Euripides' Herakles from the fifth century BC to AD 2006. Its primary interest lies in changing ideas of Heraklean madness, of its causes, its consequences, and its therapy. Writers subsequent to Euripides have tried to ‘reason’ or make sense of the madness, often in...

Sokolon explores Euripides’s understanding of justice in nine of his surviving tragedies.

Brill, 2011. — XXVI+494 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 327). This first in-depth account of Euripides and the visual arts demonstrates how the tragedian used language to visual effect, whether through allusion or actual references to objects, motifs built around real or imaginary objects, or the use of technical terminology. The evidence presented in this study corroborates the...
London, U:К.: I.B.Tauris & Co., 2019. — (Understanding Classics Series). — x, 182 p. Sophocles, Aeschylus and Euripides are often described as the greatest tragedians of the ancient world.

Brill, 2003. — xiv, 240 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 242). This book is a study of the Ion of Euripides. Produced in a period of intense political crisis at Athens in 412 BC, this play went to the heart of Athenian self-perception but also highlighted the violent divine grace of Apollo, the intense emotional suffering of Kreousa, and Ion's insistent search for truth despite...
Manchester: Manchester University Press, 1963. — XI, 157 p. One of the best studies on political aspects of Euripides' tragedies. Interpretation of two tragedies: Suppliant Women and Heraclidae, i.e. the tragedies with the distinctive political sujets which invite a comparison with the events contemporary to the author; a special chapter is devoted to the tragic hypotheseis,...
