title: The Lost Plays of Greek Tragedy (Volume 1): Neglected Authors
author:  Matthew Wright 
description: Wright marshals a mass of references from the best part of a thousand years about a strong tragic tradition which lasted well into the Hellenistic period before declining from Greek into Latin. Numerous lost playwrights are identified, traced as far as maybe with a diligence that is admirable, even formidable.  <i>Arion: A Journal of Humanities and the Classics</i>
