Collectanea Alexandrina

Nigel Guy Wilson

"The editors' approach is remarkably fresh and undogmatic: they often express strong views, but they are open to ideas from a very wide range of sources, and they are not sparing in the credit they give to other scholars... Sophoclea is a thought-provoking collection of notes... in general the point is to elucidate the reasoning that lies behind the editors' choice of reading... The attentive reader will be more impressed by the scholarly strengths of Sophoclea than troubled by its weaknesses: what matters most is the sense it gives overall of intense engagement with an inexhaustible text.' P. E. Easterling, University College London, Journal of Hellenic Studies, No 114, 1994 'The new Oxford Clasical Text (OCT) of Sophocles and its companion volume, Sophoclea (Soph.), make important contributions to scholarship by the editors' handling of traditional scholarly problems, their lively response to recent work, especially that of R. D. Dawe, and their many original suggestions. The two volumes under review mark real progress in the study and understanding of Sophocles. Filled with original ideas and the humane assimilation of earlier work, they challenge the contemporary scholar to absorb their contributions and to go on, by means of further collations and rethinking, to understand the text of Sophocles, the process of its survival, and what he might mean to our day.' E. Christian Kopff, University of Colorado, Boulder, American Journal of Philology 114 (1993) 'The editors have produced a selective critical commentary of permanent value and a text which will long remain the standard edition of Sophocles.' Greece and Rome `a commentary on the text that is full of sound judgment and great learning' Times Literary Supplement (in a review of the collected papers) `the new Oxford text co-edited by Hugh Lloyd-Jones and Nigel Wilson, excites admiration and delight by its comprehensive learning and the sure judgement with which it handles this mass of material ... this is a book which will long be indispensable to scholars who take seriously the pleasure of reading Sophocles" - Malcolm Heath, Times Literary Supplement.

Studies on the Text of Sophocles

Sophoclea

"Lloyd-Jones here considers, in its general character, the outlook of early Greek religion from the Homeric poems to the end of the fifth century, through and analysis of what he takes to be its central constituent, the concept of Dike. The "justice of Zeus" turns out to be two things, the first basic, the second subsidiary: (1) something like natural law or "the divinely appointed order of the universe," an order not always or even usually open to human scrutiny, and (2) moral law, a concession to the insignificant creatures of a day that men are, whereby Zeus "punishes, late or soon, a man who has done injustice to another, either in his own person or in that of his descendants." Because Lloyd-Jones sees the first and basic notion of Dike as the prerequisite of the later rational speculation to which it led (smoothly and without violent discontinuities, as he claims), his book assumes the dimensions of Kulturgeschichte Griechenlands, and becomes the latest in a small but distinguished list of works with similarly broad scope . . ."

Second Thoughts

Sophocles

In this sequel to BLOOD FOR THE GHOSTS AND CLASSICAL SURVIVALS, Hugh Lloyd-Jones treats many topics in the study of the ancient world. The subjects range from Homer and Pindar to the pioneering work of modern scholars such as Scaliger, Gilbert Murray, Dean Inge and Edgar Lobel and the relevance (or lack of relevance) of psychoanalysis to a proper interpretation of classical thought and literature. A final chapter, from which the title of the collection derives, gives a new assessment of the place of Greek learning in the world today.
