The Agon in Euripides

`Lloyd does an excellent job of describing the structure, style and strategies of Euripides' agones, and everyone interested in these rhetorical exchanges will read this book with profit. ' Classical Bulletin `A book that is destined to be consulted more than read (and this is no criticism of the work). ' Michael Halleran, University of Washington, Bryn Mawr Classical Review (1992) `a valuable and helpful book ... Lloyd's careful and thorough treatment of his subject will help the modern reader and spectator to approach the Euripidean agon with greater understanding and appreciation. ' Greece & Rome, April 1993 `Lloyd does an excellent job of describing the structure, style and strategies of Euripides' agones, and everyone interested in these rhetorical exchanges will read this book with profit. ' Francis M. Dunn, Northwestern University, Classical Bulletin `This is a meticulous and scholarly book. It is clear that the author has thought very hard about every sentence, and the result is a careful and highly reasoned discussion of the texts ... the analyses of individual speeches are illuminating, and the book is clearly and elegantly written. There is a useful index. Overall, the book is certainly a success, and will undoubtedly be of help to many concerned either with Euripides or with Greek rhetoric. ' J.M. Mossman, Trinity College, Dublin, The Classical Review, Vol. XLIV, No. 2, 1994
