Excerpt from Aeschylus Choephoroi, Vol. 1: With Introduction and Notes; Introduction and Text
IN this edition I have used the text, carefully revised, from my edition of Aeschylus in the new series of Classical Texts issued by the Oxford University Press.
The critical notes are somewhat fuller, and the method of referring to the mss. Has been slightly remodelled, to make it clearer and more uniform. The latter is fully explained at the end of the Introduction, where a brief account will be found of the manuscript authority for this play, the scholia, and the various editions that have appeared.
