Scholia Vetera in Sophoclis "Oedipum Coloneum"

Product Description

Scholars have been seeking to understand Sophocles` Oedipus at Colonus for over two millennia. The roots of this long tradition of the play`s interpretation lie in Hellenistic Alexandria, and are now represented mainly by a series of notes that have survived in the margins of medieval manuscripts. The book offers an introduction and an authoritative new critical text, which is accompanied by a detailed apparatus criticus.
