Euripides: Bacchae

Richard Seafords edition of Euripides Bacchae offers the first commentary in English on this fascinating play since that of E. R. Dodds in 1960. It takes account of the studies made on the play since it was written, as well as including discussion of recent scholarship and new research into the cult of Dionysus. Reprinted with an updated General Bibliography in 2015. [Greek text with facing-page English translation, introduction and commentary.]
