Euripides Fabulae: Volume III

`Reviewers of earlier volumes of this edition have warmly praised Diggle's virtues as editor, which are still much in evidence in this volume. We are all in Diggle's debt, both for his labors in collecting the evidence and his acumen in assessing it.' David Kovacs, The Classical Review `...it is of the same exemplary standard as Volumes I and II. The three volumes together will undoubtedly form the standard texts of Euripides for many years to come, and James Diggle has our warmest congratulations and gratitude for this tremendous scholarly achievement.' Greek and Rome `It is a pleasure for connoisseurs of editions of Greek tragedy to welcome ... the third and final volume of James Diggle's exemplary OCT of Euripides. ... the industry and acumen with which Diggle has performed the editorial task in the first two volumes have been highly praised in the past ... and the present volume shows the same strengths. ... D.'s capacity for fresh insights is easily recognized. ... D. shows intimate knowledge of the previous editions and textual studies of Euripides, and he is ever alert to small changes that increase the clarity or elegance of the verse.' Classical Journal, vol.92, no.2, December-January 1997 `'...Whether James Diggle, when first he undertook his Euripidean researches over a quarter of a century ago, consciously set out to erect a monument to his name I have no way of knowing. He has done so.'' R.Renehan, University of California, Santa Barbara, CP 93 (1998).
