Part of the Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics series
Paperback / softback
Description
Euripides' Cyclops is the only example of Attic satyr-drama which survives intact.
It is a brilliant dramatisation of the famous story from Homer's Odyssey of how Odysseus blinded the Cyclops after making him drunk.
The play has much to teach us, not just about satyr-drama, but also about the reception and adaptation of Homer in classical Athens; the brutal savagery of the Homeric monster is here replaced by an ironised presentation of Athenian social custom.
Problems of syntax, metre and language are fully explained, and there is a sophisticated literary discussion of the play.
This edition will be of interest to advanced undergraduates and graduate students studying Greek literature, as well as to scholars.
