Greek Lyric, Tragedy, and Textual Criticism Collected Papers

"W. S. Barren (1914-2001) was one of the finest Hellenists of the second half of the twentieth century, known above all for his celebrated edition of Euripides Hippolytus. More than three-quarters of the papers collected on this volume remained unpublished in his lifetime and are made known here for the first time. They include detailed discussions of Stesichorus' Geryenus and of various odes of Pindar and Bacchylides, a major study of Pindar's metrical practice, a number of substantial pieces on Tragedy and shorter notes on a variety of authors including Thucydides, Menander, and Seneca."--BOOK JACKET.Barrett, W.
