The complete edition of Joshua Barnes (1694) is no longer of any critical value. The first thorough work done on Euripides was by L.C. Valcknaer in his edition of the _Phoenissae_ (1755), and his _Diatribe in Eur. perditorum dramatum relliquias_ (1767), in which he argued against the authenticity of the _Rhesus_.
PRINCIPAL EDITIONS OF SELECTED PLAYS.--J. Markland (1763-1771), _Supplices, Iphigenia A., Iphigenia T._; Ph. Brunck (1779-1780), _Andromache, Medea, Orestes, Hecuba_; R. Porson (1797-1801), _Hecuba, Orestes, Phoenissae, Medea_; H. Monk (1811-1818), _Hippolytus, Alcestis, Iphigenia A., Iphigenia T._; P. Elmsley (1813-1821), _Medea, Bacchae, Heraclidae, Supplices_; G. Hermann (1831-1841), _Hecuba_ (animadv. ad R. Porsoni notas, first in 1800), _Orestes, Alcestis, Iphigenia A., Iphigenia T., Helena, Ion, Hercules Furens_; C. Badham (1851-1853), _Iphigenia T., Helena, Ion_; H. Weil, _Hipp., Medea, Hec., Iph. in T., Iph. in A., Electra, Orestes_ (2nd ed., 1890). It is impossible to give a list of the English and foreign editions of single plays, but mention may be made of the _Bacchae_, by J.E. Sandys (4th ed., 1900) and R.Y. Tyrrell (1892); _Medea_, by A.W. Verrall (1883); _Hippolytus_, by J.P. Mahaffy (1881); and of the _Hercules Furens_, by Wilamowitz-Möllendorff (2nd ed., 1895), with a comprehensive introduction on the literature of Euripides. A selected list (up to 1896) will be found in J.B. Mayor's _Guide to the Choice of Classical Books_; see also N. Wecklein in C. Bursian's _Jahresbericht_, xxviii. (1897), and for the earlier literature W. Engelmann, _Scriptores Graeci_ (1881). The little volumes on Euripides by J.P. Mahaffy (1879) and W.B. Donne in Blackwood's "Ancient Classics for English Readers" will be found generally useful; see also P. Decharme, _Euripide et l'esprit de son théâtre_ (1893); A.W. Verrall, _Euripides the Rationalist_ (1895), and _Essays on Four Plays of Euripides_ (1905); N.J. Patin, _Étude sur Euripide_ (1872); O. Ribbeck, _Euripides und seine Zeit_; and (for the life of the poet) Wilamowitz's ed. of the _Hercules Furens_ (i. 1-42); P. Masqueray, _Euripide et ses idées_ (1908).
