Présentation de l'éditeur:

In The Imagery of Euripides Shirley Barlow demonstrates, by a closeanalysis of Euripides' use of language and of imagery in particular,that his imaginative powers differ in kind, not just in quality, fromthose of Aeschylus and Sophocles, and that they serve a differentpurpose in the structure of the plays. This third edition includes asubstantial new foreword by the eminent classical scholar Froma Zeitlinand substantial new introduction by the author. This classic studyshould have a place on the shelf of every student of Greek tragedy.
