Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hippolytus of Euripides: With Brief Notes for Young Students
Tare play was entitled Drew or erewpor', from the incident of Hippolytns offering a chaplet of ?owers to distinguish it from another and earlier' play called drinker taker-reams, in which the body of the youth was covered as it was brought on the stage by attendants. This was rather a second edition or improvement on the other than a new play or another portion of a trilogy. The former play appears, from many passages in Aristo phanes', to have been attacked for the immorality of the characters drawn by the poet. Especially that of Phaedra. In the present play he corrected what was amiss or de servingol blame in the former', andoertainlyhehas produced a great work of art, not interior, perhaps, to any extant work of the tragios.
