About the Book

Orestes, produced in 408 BC towards the end of Euripides' life, was one of the most popular Greek tragedies in antiquity, and was consequently preserved in a large number of medieval manuscripts. Having investigated about sixty of the most important, James Diggle explains the complicated relationships which exist among them. He also examines afresh the contribution of the papyri and quotations which preserve parts of the play. In the course of these analyses he throws much light on problems of text and interpretation, on metre, and on the activities of Byzantine scholars. This examination of Orestes is the last major task in the completion of the study of the Euripidean manuscript tradition. As such it will be indispensable to all students of the transmission of Greek tragedy.

Table of Contents:
Conspectus Siglorum; preliminaries; the manuscripts; the veteres; the papyri; testimonia; colometry; conjectures in the medieval tradition; truth preserved in a minority.

Review :
`This is a work of the most devotedly detailed scholarship ... it will serve only to enhance the expectations of the scholarly world for the appearance of the third and final volume of Diggle's Euripides in the Oxford Classical Texts series.' J. H. C. Leach, Times Literary Supplement 'This book provides a full introduction to the edition of Orestes which will appear in Diggle's new Oxford Classical Text of Euripides.'Martin Cropp, University of Calgary, Bryn Mawr Classical Review (1992) 'Diggle contributes greatly to the text of the Orestes in his collation and discussion of many attractive readings gathered from the papyri and manuscripts hitherto neglected. Diggle's work will doubtless become authoritative in its field. It contributes to a better text of the Orestes,improves our understanding of the relationships among the Euripidean manuscripts, and offers clear and sensible Prolegomena to the author's forthcoming third volume of the OCT Euripides.' Scott Goins, McNeese State University, Classical Journal 'The detailed analysis of affiliations and multifarious linkages ... is handled with unimpeachable accuracy ... and clarity of presentation ... But we must be grateful to D. ... for providing so much of the evidence needed for further study in this field.' C.W. Willink, The Classical Review, 1992
