description: This invaluable edition of Euripedes' Cyclops , the only complete example of satyric drama to survive, provides a full historical and analytic account of the genre, reconstructing its origins, development, and decline; examines the place of satyrs in the Greek religious imagination; and explores the significance of Euripides' divergence from the Homeric model. The commentary surrounding Diggle's standard text focuses on problems of text, language, and interpretation.
