It is an indispensable aid for serious students of the text.

Rezensionen

"There is little to find fault with and much indeed to praise in this fine edition and commentary."
David Kovacs in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.10.29

"Fries has thus provided an excellent study of all aspects of the play, which will hopefully prompt further work on this much maligned yet fascinating drama."
Edmund Stewart in: Rivista di filologia e di istruzione classica 146 (2018), 533-536
