The Imagery of Euripides : A Study in the Dramatic Use of Pictorial Language (3RD)

Demonstrates, by a close analysis of Euripides' use of language and of imagery in particular, that his imaginative powers differ in kind, not just in quality, from those of Aeschylus and Sophocles, and that they serve a different purpose in the structure of the plays. This third edition is suitable for students of Greek tragedy.
