Für diese zweisprachige Ausgabe wurde der griechische Text anhand der vorhandenen Ausgaben kritisch überprüft; die Prosaübersetzung versucht ihm Vers für Vers zu folgen, um den Wechsel zwischen Text, Übersetzung und Kommentar zu erleichtern. Die ausführliche Einleitung informiert über historisches Umfeld (Entstehungszeit, Aufführung), die zugrunde liegenden Mythen (Admet, Alkestis, das Motiv "Überwindung des Todes"), die voreuripideische Literarisierung und das Neue bei Euripides (vom "Lebenstausch" zum "Opfertod"), außerdem über Textüberlieferung, Nachleben bis in die Gegenwart und moderne Interpretationen. Die genaue Analyse der Motivstruktur (Lebenstausch und Opfertod, Tod und Wiederkehr) erlaubt, moderne Fragen (Durfte Admet das Opfer seiner Frau annehmen? Ist der gute Ausgang ironisch gemeint?) etwas zu relativieren und demgegenüber eine bisher vernachlässigte Seite (bürgerliches Drama, Alltagsprobleme der Zeit) hervorzuheben. Der Kommentar, der keine Griechischkenntnisse voraussetzt, geht neben Sach- und Textfragen auch auf die Motivstruktur ein. Ein Anhang zu Metrik und ein Literaturverzeichnis runden den Band ab.

In archaic and classical Greece, statues played a constant role in people's religious, political, economic, aesthetic, and mental lives. Evidence of many kinds demonstrates that ancient Greeks thought about--and interacted with--statues in ways very different from our own. This book recovers ancient thinking about statues by approaching them through contemporary literary sources. It not only shows that ancient viewers conceived of images as more operative than aesthetic, but additionally reveals how poets and philosophers found in sculpture a practice ''good to think with.'' Deborah Tarn Steiner considers how Greek authors used images to ponder the relation of a copy to an original and of external appearance to inner reality. For these writers, a sculpture could straddle life and death, encode desire, or occasion reflection on their own act of producing a text. Many of the same sources also reveal how thinking about statues was reflected in the objects' everyday treatment. Viewing representations of gods and heroes as vessels hosting a living force, worshippers ritually washed, clothed, and fed them in order to elicit the numinous presence within. By reading the plastic and verbal sources together, this book offers new insights into classical texts while illuminating the practices surrounding the design, manufacture, and deployment of ancient images. Its argument that images are properly objects of cultural and social--rather than purely aesthetic--study will attract art historians, cultural historians, and anthropologists, as well as classicists.
