Of works treating of the ancient Greek and Roman drama only a small
selection can be given here. In the case of the Greek drama, the chief
histories of literature--such as G. Bernhardy's, K. O. Muller's (Eng.
tr. by Sir G. C. Lewis, with continuation by J. W. Donaldson) and G.
Murray's--and general histories--such as Grote's, Thirlwall's,
Curtius's, &c.--should also be consulted; and for the administration
and finance of the Attic theatre, Boeckh's _Public Economy of Athens_,
Eng. tr. (London, 1842). Much useful information will be found in _A
Companion to Greek Studies_, ed. by L. Whibley (Cambridge, 1905). The
standard collective edition of the ancient Greek dramatic poets is the
_Poetae scenici Graeci_, ed. C. W. Dindorf (5th ed., Leipzig, 1869),
and that of the Comic poets A. Meineke's _Historia critica comicorum
Graecorum. Cum fragmentis_ (5 vols., Berlin, 1839-1857). Aristotle's
_Poetics_, cited above, will of course be consulted for the theory of
the Greek drama in particular; and much valuable critical matter will
be found in passages of Bentley's _Phalaris_ (1699), which are
reprinted in Donaldson's _Theatre of the Greeks_. The following later
works, some of which treat of the ancient classical drama in general,
may be noted:--E. A. Chaignet, _La Tragedie grecque_ (Paris, 1877); J.
