This edition is worth picking up since it includes the "recently" found satyr play, "The Trackers". One of only 2 satyr plays ever recovered (the other is a Euripides play, "The Cyclops").
Only about 20 pp, and probably only half the total play, it is still worth a read in order to gain a sense of what a satyr play was, and how it differs from the tragedies it was linked to in the 3 play presentation competition in ancient Greece.
Good Intro to each play, a Glossary for names and places, Textual Notes in the back.
This volume, based in part on the older translation of Richard Lattimore, has more of a feel of poetry with meter to it, and the use of older (not modern) words and phraes. Nice flow to the text.
A little clunkier to use, with no Notes at the bottom fo the text's pages.
