Novedades del último mes en libros de Literatura, Clásicos grecolatinos

Eurípides es el más inquieto y apasionado de los tres grandes autores trágicos griegos. Seguramente también es el más influyente, gracias a su sensibilidad poética, más cercana a la actual. A diferencia de Esquilo y Sofocles, que le precedieron, Euripides humaniza y dota de caracter realista al mito, da rienda suelta a los arrebatos poeticos, a la vez que tambien se muestra muy racionalista. En este contraste contradictorio radica parte de su encanto y de su modernidad. El tercer y ultimo volumen que recoge las tragedias completas de Euripides en la Biblioteca Clasica incluye: Helena, Las fenicias, Orestes, Ifigenia en Aulide, Las bacantes y la debatida Reso.

This volume belongs to the Fragmenta Comica series, a project dedicated to providing translations and commentaries on all surviving fragments of ancient Greek comic playwrights. In this volume, Kyriaki A. Ioannidou offers the first comprehensive commentary on fifteen of Menanders fragmentary plays: Achaioi - Thais (fr. 89-169 K.-A.). This book broadens the list of fragmentary Menander plays with full commentaries aiming to shed light on the lesser-known Menandrian comedies and to deepen our understanding of Menanders dramatic style and themes.

Analysis of pictorial and material evidence, such as wall paintings and ancient book tags, complements the textual discussion. Special emphasis is given to Menanders distinctive use of rare words and unique word-forms, alongside detailed discussions on the citation context of each fragment and testimony.
