The Persians

Notes

  1. ^ A catalogue of Aeschylus' plays contains the two titles Glaucus Potnieus and Glaucus Pontius – hence the uncertainty. To add to the confusion, one title could easily be a garbled duplicate of the other. The consensus seems to favor Glaucus Potnieus
  2. ^ Garvie 2009, xl–xlvi); however see Muller/Lewis 1858, p. 322.
  3. ^ According to the hypothesis of The Persians found, for instance, in the Loeb and OCT editions of Aeschylus' plays.

While there is some disagreement, the consensus is that the Persian Wars did not come to a formal conclusion until 449 BC with the Peace of Callias.
  12. ^ See Hall (1991).
  13. ^ The Vita Aeschyli §18 repeats this claim, adding that the play was well received there. For questions surrounding this Sicilian production and its bearing on the text of the Persae that survives, see Broadhead 2009, pp. xlviii–liii; Garvie 2009, pp. liii–lvii.
