'The Budé Sophocles is the joint work of two distinguished French scholars, A. Dain and P. Mazon, the former being responsible for the text, the latter for the translation, with constant co-operation at all stages. (...) There is a general introduction on Sophocles' life and work by Mazon, and on the textual tradition by Dain; each play is also prefaced, after the usual pattern in this series, bij a 'notice'. These are short and good, especially the argument against Euripidean influence in Trach. (...) Dain gives a lucid and excellent summary of the textual tradition.' (A.M. DALE on the first volume in The Classical Review, 1956, p.105). € 42.50 (Antiquarian)
