Frankel's Agamemnon

Post by wmk »

Hello -- I'm in Paris for the week and found Frankel's Agamemnon (All 3 volumes very good condition) for 350 Euro. Is this overly inflated? I know that it is typically expensive, but is this at least in the ballpark?

Thanks in advance.

hi, the copies currently on abebooks are around this price:

it seems to be quite rare for someone who owns this book to think about selling it. it hardly ever goes on sale. if you read tragedy this book is great: it is the only modern commentary i have which addresses all the hard parts of the text (and not just the parts which the commentator feels comfortable discussing, leaving the hardest parts unaddressed). cheers :)
