Description

This scholarly volume from De Gruyter explores the vital role of papyri in understanding 5th century BCE Greek literature. Because papyri often serve as the most ancient and reliable witnesses for tragic productions, they are essential for studying works that exist only in fragmentary form. This book focuses on the task of reading, interpreting, and identifying specific texts that have survived in incomplete or anonymous states. Included in this publication are five Greek plays recovered from papyri fragments. The collection features four works by Aeschylus, including 'Theoroi', 'Hypsipyle', 'Laios', and 'Prometheus Pyrkaeus', along with one work by Sophocles titled 'Inachos'. As part of the Trends in Classics - Supplementary Volumes (135), this text provides a necessary resource for scholars studying ancient Greek tragedy and papyrological evidence.
