  • Ion. A Translation with Commentary by A. Pippin Burnett. With a series introduction by E.A. Havelock. Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, 1970. 157p. Paperback.Back cover a little bit damaged. (Rare).The series offers each play in a context of exacting scholarship which seeks to make available to readers who do not know the language what the original Greek audiences responded to as they watched and listened to a performance. Supported by extensive introductions, notes, and appendices (the work of an authority who has given painstaking attention to the full meanings of the text) and printed in a manner to exhibit their great varieties of formal structure, the plays step forth freed of conventional overlays of expectation and conventional categorizations into type, as the highly individual creations they were when first performed. (Publisher's information). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 8.00 (Antiquarian)
