Description: "This book provides an extensive philological commentary on Seneca's Troades. Its main purpose is to elaborate on the meaning of the single words, and to offer further insight on their history and usage. In this text, comparisons are made with Senecan prose and works of other poets. In addition, the commentary addresses word order, textual, metrical, grammatical, and compositional difficulties. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography and three indices."--Jacket.
