Named an Outstanding Academic Book of 1987-88 by Choice

"Willink's edition fills a clear need and does so with distinction. His no-nonsense approach to exegesis has produced a fulsome and lucid commentary that should remain a standard for many years to come....The commentary is chock full of information on meaning and dramatic interpretation which will with effort be useful to Greek readers at all levels....A must for all libraries serving classical studies."--Choice

"Willink's splendid edition of the Greek text [is] a culmination of the labours of a lifetime...Its chief contribution is the commentary, which pursues or rather attacks problems of text, metre and grammar in the accustomed fashion...and is also alert to the play's rhetoric and dramaturgy."--Times Literary Supplement
