In this edition of Sophocles' Electra, Mr Keels presents the play as a study in revenge, with the meaning dependent on the continuous use of dramatic irony.

Reviews

' ... in his commentary he admirably fulfils the purpose of the CGLC in stressing not so much syntactical matters as points of dramatic and literary interest.' Times Literary Supplement 'Kells assumes in most places a reader new to Greek drama, and has excellent sections on stichomythia, agon, lyric, and on Sophoclean style; textual problems are tackled with great clarity.' Joint Association of Classical Teachers
