Euripides, Herakles

Omtale

Wilamowitz-Moellendorff's edition of Herakles was published in 1895. Volume 2 contains Moellendorf's commentary on the etymological, historical and dramatic details of Euripides' interpretation of Herakles' fate. He emphasises that the modern reader or spectator has to make full use of the imagination to appreciate the play's religious context.
