Reviews
While one oftentimes appreciates the scholar for diligence, just as often the entry of Liddell & Scott provides more than adequate discussion of the vocabulary. E. R. Dodds provides a thorough discussion of the vocabulary and an interesting excursus on Euripides "Bacchae". The benefit of this scholarship is background data re extant manuscript editions to verify he textus receptus. In a few lines, Dodds gives background info on Euripides and the play. The student should always be aware that the scholar could be wrong in his interpretation, however excellent the scholarship. Studying Greek allows the student to read this type of scholarly work and make a meaningful contribution or interpretation of the play.
