Note 633 — Chapter XIV · LEGENDS OF THEBES.
Reading edition
See Valckenaer. Diatribe in Eurip. Reliq. cap. 7, p. 58; Welcker, Griechisch. Tragöd. ii. p. 811. There is a striking resemblance between the Antiopê of Euripidês and the Tyrô of Sophoklês in many points.
Plato in his Gorgias has preserved a few fragments, and a tolerably clear general idea of the characters of Zêthus and Amphiôn (Gorg. 90-92); see also Horat. Epist. i. 18, 42.
Both Livius and Pacuvius had tragedies on the scheme of this of Euripidês, the former seemingly a translation.
