AESCHYLUS, Agamemnon. Edited by the late J.D. Denniston and D. Page. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1957. 1st ed. XXXIX,240p. Orignal burgundy cloth. Spine gilt titled. Spine discoloured. 'No eminent scholar - least of all the first editor after Fraenkel - could be expected to commit himself on the many complex and controversial issues of this play without arguing his case. Yet the edition is on a moderate scale and designed for undergraduates. Compromise was inevitable; and it has in the main been skillfully conducted. It is right that the undergraduate should realize the complexity of the issues; and they are often presented to him here with brilliant lucidity and pungent brevity. Many of the general interpretative comments (...) are admirably designed for their purpose. (...) The text is a blend of caution and boldness (...). It is not easy at this time of day to improve the text of the play. (...) The interest of the commentary never flags, and its attraction is even enhanced by the 'disagreeably dogmatic-looking brevity' (...). (R.P. WINNINGTON-INGRAM in The Classical Review (New Series), 1959, pp.23-24). € 21.50 (Antiquarian)

AESCHYLUS, The Suppliants. Volume I. The Text with Introduction, Critical Apparatus and Translation by H. Friis Johansen. The Scholia with Introduction and Critical Apparatus by O. Smith. Gyledendalske Boghandel / Nordisk Forlag, København, 1970. 168,(3)p. Original green cloth. Spine gilt titled. ‘The appearance of this edition of the ‘Supplices’ is welcome for at least three reasons; first because it is the first full-scale edition of the play in English, and in almost any language, since that of Thucker in 1889; secondly because at a time when the revised dating has radically altered our estimate of the play it is all the more important to have an adequate foundation for its study; and thirdly, but not least, because it is such a good edition. (…) the Introduction to this edition deals with the text of the play, and much of it is devoted to a systematic consideration of the working methods of the reviser of N. The clarity and thoroughness with which the editor expounds these would by themselves make his work valuable. (…) The apparatus is a model of what such things should be. It is long, not because it is filled with improbable conjectures (…), but because it records in full the readings of E as well as M, and because it presents with unusual fullness and clarity the corrections of the reviser. (…) The translation is not intended to be a literary but a literal one, ‘a provisional substitute for a commentary.’ It serves this purpose well.’ (A.F. GARVIE in The Classical Review (New Series), 1973, pp.21-22). € 55.00 (Antiquarian)
