Author Description

Excerpt from The Trachiniae of Sophocles: With a Commentary, Abridged From the Larger; Edition of Richard N preparing this abridgment I have endeavoured to follow the lines laid down by my predecessors in the volumes which have already appeared. In doubtful cases it has been my aim to omit too little rather than too much. I have to thank my friend Mr R. K. Gaye for putting at my disposal Sir R. Jebb's unpublished corrections.
