Abstract

The purpose of this paper is, first, to evaluate the elements of Epeus myth that Euripides may have used for the plot of the eponymous drama; secondly to translate, with a brief commentary, the only possible source of this mysterious drama, lost perhaps before preservation in the Alexandrian Library; and finally to discuss its possibilities of being one of the few satyric dramas created by Euripides during the second half of the fifth century BC.
