page 137 note 1 See my paper on ‘The Tragedy of Electra according to Sophocles,’ Class. Quart. April, 1918, Vol. XII. p. 80

page 137 note 2 Nor do these passages exhaust the list of reminiscences. With Cho. 131 (read φῶς ἄναψον with W. Headlam) cf. El. 587. The phrase , Cho. 148, inspires the remarkable scene, Eur. El. 859 ff.

page 137 note 3 This wholesome reference to the morning as the time for work is a subtle Euripidean modification of the old romantic theme, developed in very different fashion by Sophocles.

page 139 note 1 I confess this does, not explain lines 539 ff., and here I am constrained to admit that, in my opinion, the poet elaborates the familiar themes too much. In line 546 read ἤ τις δεσπότου σκοποὺς λαθών (cf. 66, 97, 798).
