References

page 240 note 1 Including some which are contributed by Maas and Page.

page 240 note 2 e.g. fr. 275, 817; fr. 276, 21; fr. 280, 4; fr. 281, 4. In fr. 273, 2 the bracket should precede the last two letters of θ⋯ελλα.

page 240 note 3 Not invalidated by the arguments of K. Reinhardt in Hermes, lxxxv (1957), 1 ff. This important article appeared too late to be taken into consideration in this edition.

page 241 note 1 P.V. 500–4 (τ⋯ς …;—οὐδε⋯ς) is not a good parallel. P.V. 193 ff., on the other hand, might be used to support the attribution of these lines to the Chorus.

page 241 note 2 Since, if Danaus became king, it is likely that Pelasgus‘ sons as well as himself perished in the battle. It may be thought that certain passages in the Supplices gain in irony if the whole house of Pelasgus is destroyed despite his piety: 433 ff., 413 ff., 26 f., and perhaps the corrupt 362 ff. However, I hope to deal with (i) and (ii) at some other opportunity.
