These sources are supplemented by a number of citations in classical authors and by a recently published fragmentary hypothesis. Professor Diggle has examined all the manuscript evidence and offers many decipherments. He gives a text of the play and of the hypothesis, an exegetical commentary, prolegomena and appendices, in which he discusses the treatment of the Phaethon myth in classical literature and attempts a reconstruction of the plot of the play.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Plates\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Prolegomena\u003cbr\u003e Text\u003cbr\u003e Commentary\u003cbr\u003e Appendixes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index verborum\u003cbr\u003e Index of passages discussed\u003cbr\u003e Subject index\u003cbr\u003e Greek index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: classical, early \u0026amp; medieval [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: classical, early \u0026amp; medieval\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20classical,%20early%20\u0026amp;%20medieval%20%5BDSBB%5D%22\"\u003eDSBB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46005229846808,"sku":"9780521604246","price":42.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521604246i_d5aebb13-62c5-41d2-ae8f-9ae8138a037e.jpg?v=1691370412","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/euripides-phaethon-paperback-9780521604246","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
