Provides a substantive account in seventeen essays concerning the reception of Aristophanes (c. 446-386 BC) from Antiquity to the present.

As a creative medium, ancient Greek tragedy has had an extraordinarily wide influence: many of the surviving plays are still part of the theatrical repertoire, and texts like Agamemnon, Antigone, and Medea have had a profound effect on Western culture. This Companion is not a conventional introductory textbook but an attempt, by seven distinguished scholars, to present the familiar corpus in the context of modern reading, criticism, and performance of Greek tragedy. Also available as an ebook.

Offers an up-to-date assessment of Euripides, drawing from the most recently published texts, commentaries, and scholarship, and offering detailed discussions and current interpretations of his extant plays and fragments. A dedicated section focuses on the reception of Euripidean drama during the Hellenistic age and later eras.

Provides readers with a fundamental grounding in Greek tragedy, and also introduces them to the various methodologies and the lively critical dialogue that characterize the study of Greek tragedy today. Comprises 31 original essays taking into account socio-political, textual, and performance aspects of Greek tragedy. Also available as an ebook.
