Excerpt from The Medea of Euripides: With Introduction and Explanatory Notes for Schools by John H. Hogan This edition has been prepared almost entirely for schools, consequently there are many tes which might have been omitted in a work intended for more advanced students. Nor would I have given so many translations into English had it t been for this reason. The editions I have used in preparing my tes have been - of Continental scholars, the third edition of P ugk's Medea revised and augmented by R. Klotz. Leip. 1867; the sixth vol. Of Matthiae's ed. Of Euripides. Leip. 1821; the second edition of F. H. Bothe. Leip. 1848; A. Kirchhoff '8 ed. Of Euripides in 2 vols. Ber lin 1855; ed. Of the Medea by the same, Berlin 1852, both most valuable editions from a critical point of view. The editions in English and by English scholars consulted are, the ed. Of Euripides in 3 vols by F. A. Paley. London 1857 - 60; the third ed. Of Person's Medea. Leip. 1824; the German edition of the Medea by P. Elmsley (first pub lished at Oxford Leip. 1822, to which are added the tes of Hermann. Other works consulted and referred to are The Fragments of the Greek Tragedians revised by Aug. N auck. Leip. 1856, (his edition of the Medea I have t seen); Ellendt's Lexicon Sophocleum new edition by H. Genthe in 11 parts. Berlin 1870 - 7 2, a most valuable work containing many remarks upon various passages of Euripides; Muller and Donaldson's History of Greek Litera ture, London 1858; J elf's Greek Grammar, third ed. Lon don 1861; Matthiae's Greek Grammar translated by E. V. Blomfield, fifth ed. Revised by J. Kenrick. London 1832. In writing the Introduction I have extended the scope of the work but hope I have t introduced any useless matter. I have read with much care the excellent article which appeared in the Westminster Review for January 1872 on Greek Tragedy and Euripides, and quoted one or two passages from it. The text taken as the basis of this edition is Dindorf's, which however I have altered in nu merous places, adhering sometimes more closely to the mss.
