Text in Greek, critical matter in English
"Rhesus, a tragedy traditionally (but wrongly) attributed to Euripides, has been the
object of too little scholarly attention over the last decades. While debate has focused
largely on the question of the play's authenticity, consequently overlooking the features
of the play itself, this important new commentary explores the essential elements
such as language, style, character-portrayal, and metre. The play's stagecraft and
plot-construction are scrutinized and shown to be generally idiosyncratic and often
defective despite occasional flashes of genius in the handling of dramatic time and
theatrical space. Through the detailed introduction, translation, and commentary,
Liapis shows that Rhesus is largely derivative, as it contains a significant amount
of textual material taken from other classical tragedies and genres. The conclusion
is that the contested author's familiarity with fifth-century drama bespeaks a professional
actor, probably one specializing in re-performances of classical repertoire. Such
evidence suggests that Rhesus can therefore be considered as not only a surviving
fourth-century tragedy, but also one conceived for performance outside of Athens."
