I remembered the existence of the last two books here after I published the original post, but not their titles, and they appeared on none of my surviving lists, but only in my memory. I recovered them by plugging the terms "Greek plays paperback" into Google Search and looking until I recognized the covers. Once more I had obtained some of the ugliest and most obscure printings available. In college I was fascinated by Greek and Latin literature; I had heard that only between 520-550 works still survived. It seemed an obtainable goal.
