Euripides and the Sophists
This work describes how Euripides provides, in specific plays, a variety of original treatments of well-known views of his contemporaries, the Sophists. The emphasis is on Euripides as the creative virtuoso of dramatic ideas rather than as a philosopher. Euripides' adaptation covers a range of dramatic styles and approaches, from the tragic treatment of the nature in Hippolytus, to the near parody of Sophistic views on sense-perception in Helen

Sophocles' Trachiniae
Sophocles’ Trachiniae: Some Observations D. J. Conacher In several ways Trachiniae seems almost a textbook of Sophoclean tragedy, so many elements of plot, theme, and even formal structure does it have in common with one or another (sometimes with several other) of the playwright’s works. The deceptive quality of oracles and prophecies, 1 the equally illusory nature of human happiness, the alternation between the familiar, even the domestic (inso…

Aeschylus
Conacher's close readings of the text and sensitive analysis of the main problems in the plays will be of benefit to students, especially those encountering these plays for the first time, either in Greek or in translation
Aeschylus' Oresteia
Aeschylus' Oresteia
Traditionally, books on Greek tragedy tend to fall into two classes: scholarly editions with commentaries on textual, linguistic, and detailed interpretive points, and literary-critical studies which sometimes include summary treatments of questions involving a detailed study of the texts. Classics specialists tend, for obvious reasons, to concentrate on the former. Readers of translations have, of necessity, been limited to the latter kind of ai…
Aeschylus' Oresteia
Aeschylus' Oresteia
The major part of Conacher's work is a detailed running commentary on, and dramatic analysis of, the three plays. It is supplemented in notes and appendixes by discussions of the philological problems relevant to the interpretation, and by a sampling of other scholaraly views on a number of controversial points

Some Profane Variations on a Tragic Theme
I PROPOSE TO DISCUSS in this paper' two plays which give, in very different ways, non-tragic, even profane, treatment to themes derived from the most profound of all Greek tragedies, Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannus. The fate of Oedipus, doomed by Apollo's oracle before his life begins to commit in ignorance (before his play begins) his dreadful deeds of parricide and incest, is too well-known to need elaboration here. So, too, is the terrible cohesio…

Themes in the "Exodus" of Euripides' "Phoenissae
IT WOULD BE A BOLD CRITIC to-day who would defend the exodus of the Phoenissae in its entirety. Various elements in the final throes of the house of Laius appear in various other tragedies, some of which preceded the Phoenissae in time and fame; thus a scene dealing with a medley of this material, even if (as many critics doubt) its main lines are authentic, would be particularly vulnerable to change in later presentations of the play. The close …

Euripides
Untersuchungen zum Deus ex Machina bei Sophokles und Euripides
ANDREAS SPIRA presents a thorough and (with one possible exception) internally consistent defence of the deus ex machina as a device which, far from betraying any form of dramatic irresponsibility, brings into the open some truth or meaning which is already implicit in the theme and structure of the play. Perhaps the most successful of the author's discussions is that of the Philoctetes (pp. 12-30). A clear analysis of the play indicates that its…
