Abstract
Abstract There are five books on my shelves which are often used as reference works, but which, when read cover to cover, changed my academic life. Three of them are Fraenkel’s edition of the Agamemnon. The other two are Pickard¬ Cambridge’s Dramatic Festivals of Athens. I say two because the second edition, revised by John Gould and David Lewis, the honorand of this volume, is really a new book. Reading this second edition along with the first provides a marvellous example of careful, scholarly criticism that is never less than instructive. It is with this remarkable volume in mind that I offer the present study, which approaches one of the thorniest and most passionately debated issues in theatrical history, namely, the presence of women at the Great Dionysia.
