Disaster follows when Creon, King of Thebes, forbids Antigone to bury her brother whom he has declared a traitor

Reseña del editor:

This edition of the Antigone is based upon Gustav Wolff ssecond edition, Leipzig, 1873. In most cases where the text varies from his, the readings of theL aurentian Ms. (L) have been adopted in preference to those of inferior Mss. or to conjectures of Wolff and other editors. The reasons for these changes are given in the A ppendix, which it is hoped furnishes sufficient material for an intelligent appreciation of the most important problems in the textual criticism of the play. For the purpose of facilitating comparison, the rejected readings of Wolff are placed at the foot of the text. Through lack of such an aid as the Facsimile of theL aurentian Codex, now in course of preparation, it has been necessary to take the variants of theM ss. at second or third hand, chiefly from the edition of Campbell. The Commentary has been adapted to the needs of that large number of students who begin their study of Greek tragedy with this plaj .T he lyric parts have been arranged on the basis of the rhythmical scheme which has been borrowed from Schmidt sR hythmic and Metric, translated by Professor John Williams White. Material has been taken freely from the editions of Bellermann, Campbell, Nauck, Wecklein, and Dindorf. The editor takes pleasure in expressing his grateful obligations to his colleague. Professor Elisha Jones, for the use of critical apparatus; and to his pupil, Mr. Walter Miller, A.M., for generous sei-vice in verifying references. M. L. DOOGE. Unitebsitt of Michiqam, A ugust, 1884.
