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 was in need of explanation or justification. A large number of new conjectures are proposed and some forgotten conjectures argued for.
David Kovacs, Ph.D. (1976) in Classical Philology, Harvard University, is Professor of Classics at the University of Virginia. He has published extensively on the text of Euripides and is the editor and translator of the new Loeb Classical Library Euripides.
