Albert Cook deals with the discrete Greek particulars of time and place which affected these plays, making use of a rich classical scholarship in discussing details of Greek language, politics, and culture. Such historical materials provide a setting for Professor Cook's treatment of the transformations of these plays into self sustaining, moving events that engage us even at our distance from their special, classical moments  (#05)
