Alcestis

About “Alcestis”

Euripides' Alcestis is a well-known Attic drama often used to help students read their first play in Greek. A new student edition by C. A. E. Luschnig and H. M. Roisman addresses the lack of suitable resources for intermediate learners. The edition includes an introduction with historical and literary context, a commentary on grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and dramatic elements, and a section on scholarly debates about the play. It also contains a glossary, index, bibliography, and grammatical reviews tailored for students in their second year of university or third year of high school. The goal is to introduce students to current scholarship in an accessible way.
