A further fifty-two tragedies and eleven satyr  plays, including a few of disputed authorship, are known from ancient  quotations and references and from numerous papyri discovered since  1880. No more than one-fifth of any play is represented, but many can be  reconstructed with some accuracy in outline, and many of the fragments  are striking in themselves. The extant plays and the fragments together  make Euripides by far the best known of the classic Greek tragedians. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This edition, in a projected two volumes, offers the first complete  English translation of the fragments together with a selection of  testimonia bearing on the content of the plays. The texts are based on  the recent comprehensive edition of R. Kannicht. A general Introduction  discusses the evidence for the lost plays. Each play is prefaced by a  select bibliography and an introductory discussion of its mythical  background, plot, and location of the fragments, general character,  chronology, and impact on subsequent literary and artistic traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54245352571224,"sku":"9780674996311","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780674996311.jpg?v=1779259543","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/fragments-volume-ii","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
