The Nile on eBay   Sophocles: Electra by Sophocles, P.J. Finglass Full-scale 2007 commentary exploring afresh long-standing controversies such as the moral status of the killing of Clytemnestra, while also investigating subjects such as the place of rhetoric and the use of typical scenes. It provides original metrical analyses of the lyrical sections of the play and a revised Greek text. FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description One of Sophocles' more accomplished dramas, the Electra has always generated a good deal of scholarly debate. This 2007 edition, the first full-scale commentary on any play of Sophocles since the nineteenth century, explores afresh long-standing controversies such as the moral status of the killing of Clytemnestra, while also investigating many subjects which have traditionally attracted less attention, such as the place of rhetoric within the drama, the use of typical scenes, and allusions to epinician poetry. It provides original metrical analyses of the lyrical sections of the play and a revised Greek text. Research on the papyri, mediaeval manuscripts and printed editions has led to a more accurate apparatus criticus than ever before, with many conjectures attributed to their rightful owners.

Its many readers will be grateful that this remarkable play has been served so well.' Francis Dunn, New England Classical Journal'It is a relief to read his balanced interpretations after so many attempt to read into the play what is not there … I welcome his interpretation of the play as a whole.'
