[PAR] [TLE] Arthur Woollgar Verrall [SEP] Arthur Woollgar Verrall (5 February 1851, Brighton – 18 June 1912, Cambridge) was a British classics scholar associated with Trinity College, Cambridge, and the first occupant of the King Edward VII Chair of English.  He was noted for his translations and for his challenging, unorthodox interpretations of the Greek dramatists, such as his commentary on "Agamemnon"; his detractors found his readings contorted and too ingenious, too often overlooking obvious explanations in favour of the convoluted, and his published work is nowadays not highly regarded.  After his death, admirers M. A. Bayfield and J. D. Duff edited Verrall's "Collected Literary Essays.  Classical and Modern" and "Collected Essays in Greek and Latin Scholarship" 1914.  Among his publications, "Euripides the Rationalist" was highly influential.  He was a member of the Cambridge Apostles, a secret society, from 1871.

Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he is one of the three ancient Greek tragedians a number of whose plays have survived.  Some ancient scholars attributed 95 plays to him but according to the "Suda" it was 92 at most.  Of these, 18 or 19 have survived more or less complete (there has been debate about his authorship of "Rhesus", largely on stylistic grounds) and there are also fragments, some substantial, of most of the other plays.
