Editorial Reviews

The best modern commentary is Easterling , which takes the play seriously as a work of literature as well as offering a freshly constituted text; by contrast, Davies offers a photocopy of the uncorrected impression of Lloyd-Jones and Wilson , and is less helpful as a commentary too, often simply referring the reader to secondary literature without providing a discussion in the commentary itself.

Jebb is still essential, even though inevitably outdated in many respects; Kamerbeek is much less useful; Longo gives primarily linguistic guidance. What remains of the ancient commentators on the play is well edited by Xenis Edition of the text unsatisfactory, but accompanying translation of high calibre see Mazon , cited under Translations. A reprint of the impression of Lloyd-Jones and Wilson , with brief introduction and rather sparse commentary.

The most widely used edition; often reliable, though fond of unlikely conjectures. Commento linguistico alle Trachinie di Sofocle. Scholia vetera in Sophoclis Trachinias. Sammlung griechischer und lateinischer Grammatiker Berlin and New York: Users without a subscription are not able to see the full content on this page. The new edition by Georgios Xenis improves on de Marco's work by a careful examination of all the sources of the text and the conjectures proposed by scholars, and by relying on a clearly defined methodological framework.

In this edition the scholia to the Oedipus at Colonus are restored in a textual state that is arguably the earliest we can recover, and is free of contradictions, unacceptable repetitions, and hybridisation or blending of elements from different versions. The critical text is accompanied by a detailed apparatus criticus, and is contextualised in its ancient scholarly tradition by means of a rich array of passages drawn from comparable sources.

Extensive indices are provided at the end of the volume. The edition will be an invaluable resource for those engaged in the interpretation of Sophocles' tragedies and, in particular, of the Oedipus at Colonus, and will be of interest to classicists working on ancient literary criticism and ancient scholarship.
