Editing Euripides (section)

===Lost and fragmentary plays===
The following plays have come down to us in fragmentary form, if at all. They are known through quotations in other works (sometimes as little as a single line); pieces of papyrus; partial copies in manuscript; part of a collection of hypotheses (or summaries); and through being parodied in the works of Aristophanes. Some of the fragments, such as those of ''[[Hypsipyle (play)|Hypsipyle]]'', are extensive enough to allow tentative reconstructions to be proposed.

A two-volume selection from the fragments, with facing-page translation, introductions, and notes, was published by Collard, Cropp, Lee, and Gibert;<ref>{{cite book|last=Euripides|title=Selected Fragmentary Plays: Volume I|year=1995|editor1-last=Collard|editor1-first=C.|editor2-last=Cropp|editor2-first=M.J.|editor3-last=Lee|editor3-first=K.H.|publisher=Aris & Phillips|isbn=0-85668-619-0}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Euripides|title=Selected Fragmentary Plays: Volume II|year=2005|editor1-last=Collard|editor1-first=C.|editor2-last=Cropp|editor2-first=M.J.|editor3-last=Gibert|editor3-first=J.|publisher=Aris & Phillips|isbn=0-85668-621-2}}</ref> as were two [[Loeb Classical Library]] volumes derived from them;<ref>{{cite book|last=Euripides|title=Fragments: Aegeus-Meleager (Loeb Classical Library No. 504)|year=2008|publisher=Harvard University Press|location=Cambridge, MA|isbn=978-0-674-99625-0}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Euripides|title=Oedipus-Chrysippus & Other Fragments|year=2009|publisher=Harvard University Press|location=Cambridge, MA|isbn=978-0-674-99631-1}}</ref> and there are critical studies in T.
