SOPHOCLES IN "SINGLE PLA YS FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS EDITED WITH INTRODUCTIONS AND ENGLISH NOTES LEWIS CAMPBELL, M.A., LL.D. Professor of Greek in the University of St. Andrewa AND EVELYN ABBOTT, M.A., LL.D. Fellow and Tutor of Balliol College, Oxford AJAX AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1890 [All rigits reserved ] PRE FACE. THE present edition of the plays of Sophocles has been compiled from the larger edition of the Plays and Fragments published by Prof. Campbell', with such alterations and addi- tions as seemed necessary to adapt the work for use in schools. The text is almost identical in the two editions, and the same marks are used. A departure from MS. authority is distinguished by an asterisk, and a word or phrase which, though retained from the MSS., is almost certainly corrupt, is distinguished by an obelus. In the notes, the critical part of the larger edition bearing on the text has been omitted. Here and there, it is true, various readings have been given, but no attempt is made to present a connected account of the text. And little or nothing is said about the metres. Whatever light may have been thrown on Greek music and metre by recent researches in Germany, the results have not been such that they can 1 Sophocles. By Prof. Campbell.

In the illustration of grammatical constructions the smaller edition is sometimes more full than the larger. It is obvious that knowledge which may be presumed in an older reader can be profitably enough imparted to one who is reading Sophocles for the first time, and reading him principally with a view to improve his knowledge of Greek. But, in order to save space, references are sometimes given to grammatical works, especially to Professor Goodwin's 'Moods and Tenses.' In the larger edition the most im- portant facts of the language of Sophocles have been collected, analysed, and arranged, in an introductory essay: in this edition the matter of that essay has been embodied in the notes on various passages. This change seemed necessary in a work which is intended to facilitate the reading of the author without aiming at a general criticism of his language. But a use of the indices will enable any one who wishes to construct for himself a fair conspectus of the leading features in the style of Sophocles. It will be observed that in many passages more than one rendering is given, and it may perhaps be thought that such alternatives are merely a confession of ignorance. But although it is true that the writer's meaning is one and one only, it is often scarcely possible to express this, even when 1 Brambach has published ' Die Sophocleischen Gesinge fiir den Schulgebrauch metrisch erkliirt.' Leipzig, 1870. PREFA CE. Vi, perceived, by a single English version, and there are some passages in which the grounds of interpretation are so nicely balanced, that the charge of ignorance would rather be applicable to a dogmatic rendering. Beyond doubt, many passages admit grammatically of two interpretations, either of which is possible in the context in which the words occur. There may be a preference in favour of one or the other, but to exclude either would mark this preference too strongly. Moreover in a work of joint authorship there will necessarily be some difference of opinion; and although there are but few passages over which the editors have felt themselves to differ seriously, this should be noticed as another cause of the alternative renderings. The lines of the plays are quoted according to the notation of Dindorf, which is now almost universally adopted. The numbering of the fragments is that of Nauck, in his 'Tragi- corum Graecorum Fragmenta.' Though the present edition has been compiled mainly from the larger work, the notes of other scholars have of course been consulted. The most useful commentaries in German are those of Schneidewin-Nauck, Gustav Wolff, and Weck- lein. Of those with Latin notes the most important are the editions by Hermann, Dindorf, and Wunder, to which perhaps Linwood's should be added, though most readers will regret that so able a scholar did not give the world a more elaborate work. The chief English editions have also been consulted. It is needless to enumerate them, and it would be out of place to criticise them here. viii PREFACE. Some pains have been taken to make the introductory analyses, prefixed to the notes, a real help to the young reader in mastering the structure and the leading motives of each play. But for further information on these points the student is referred to the Introductions in the larger edition. AIA 2. B TA TOY APAMATOM lPOMQllA. AeRNA. TEKMH22A. OAYMEY2. ArrEAO. AIA2. TEYKPO.
