Abstract

Review

This article promises an insightful exploration into the challenging domain of classical philology: the reconstruction and interpretation of a fragmentary ancient tragedy. Focusing on Euripides' *Stenebea*, the work tackles a common yet complex problem faced by scholars attempting to piece together lost dramatic works from the ancient Greek world. The title, "Ricostruzione ed esegesi di una tragedia frammentaria: la Stenebea di Euripide," clearly indicates the dual aims of the study – both to reconstruct the text and to provide a scholarly interpretation, setting a high ambition for its scope in engaging with one of Euripides' less-known, but historically significant, plays. The abstract further specifies the article's core contribution: to outline the methodological approach and the specific decisions made in constructing a script of *Stenebea* based on the currently available fragments. This focus on methodology is particularly valuable, as the process of reconstructing ancient texts from limited evidence often involves subjective choices and scholarly debates. By articulating the "work's method used and the choices made," the author positions the article not merely as a presentation of a reconstructed script, but as a critical examination of the very process of reconstruction itself, offering transparency and opening the work to further academic scrutiny and discussion. Given this stated focus, the article appears to offer a significant contribution to Euripidean scholarship and the broader field of classical studies. Understanding the methodological underpinnings of such reconstructions is crucial for evaluating their scholarly merit and for informing future research into fragmentary texts. Scholars interested in Euripides, Greek tragedy, and textual criticism will likely find this discussion of method and exegetical choices invaluable, as it promises to illuminate not only the specific case of *Stenebea* but also the broader challenges and strategies inherent in resurrecting ancient literary works from their fragmented remains.
