Medea | Translator's note
Translator's note
In preparing this edition, I have for the most part followed the Oxford text of Diggle. Like most Greek texts, there are many areas of confusion in the manuscripts of Medea; I have tried to stay as close to the Greek as possible, but my primary concern was to produce a coherent English text for a young audience uninterested in the cruces of palaeography and papyrology. I also used the Cambridge commentary of Donald Mastronarde and followed many of his emendations to aid in producing a smooth final product.
