Excerpt from The Supernatural in the Tragedies of Euripides: As Illustrated in Prayers, Curses, Oaths, Oracles, Prophecies, Dreams and Visions To my esteemed instructor in Greek and Sanskrit Literature, Professor J. T. Lees, Ph.D., Head of Department of Greek History and Literature in the University of Nebraska, who has aided me especially in the composition of this thesis, I owe a great debt of gratitude. He has suggested the subject, and to his valuable counsel and assistance important corrections and improvements are due. I have further consulted in one way or other nearly all the books and monographs mentioned in the bibliography. Considerable use has been made of the following works: J. Adam: "Religious Teachers of Greece", C. H. Moore: "The Religious Thought of the Greeks", C. F. Whitmore: "The Supernatural in Tragedy", W. Nestle: "Euripides, der Dichter der griechischen Aufklarung", P. Decharme: "Euripide et l'esprit de son theatre." In quoting from the original I have availed myself of the Teubner text. Deviations from this have been noted where they occur. Excepting some of the fragments the translations are by A. S. Way, in the Loeb Classical Library, Heinemann, 1912.
