Excerpt from Euripidis Heracleidae, Vol. 1: Introduction and Text Lacedaemonians and Argives towards the close of the same year had signally failed. In 420 Alcibiades, whose policy was then strongly anti-laconian, induced Argos and her allies to conclude a treaty for 100 years with Athens, in spite of a counter embassy from Sparta. The Sufifilz'ees of Euripides probably appeared at this time, its object being to remind Argos of her debt to Athens, who had formerly espoused the Argive cause against Creon and the Thebans by reclaiming the bodies of their unburied Chieftains. That play inculcated the duty of eternal friendship and alliance between the Athenians and Argives, whereas the Heraclez'dae is, as we 'have seen, of a decidedly opposite tendency 1. Two years later Agis, king of Sparta, invaded Argolis with his entire force, and the Athenians, as in duty bound, marched to the support of their allies. The decisive victory of Mantinea restored the Lacedaemonian influence in Peloponnesus, while by the efforts of the oligarchical party in Argos the alliance with Athens was quickly dissolved and a treaty made with Sparta for fifty years. This year (418 b.c.) is the, probable date of the heracleidae, though some, on account of its anti-spartan sentiments, are inclined to refer it to one of the earlier years of the Peloponnesian war, between 431 and 427. Considering however its main object and tendency, it is more likely to have been produced at a time when Argos and Sparta were combining their powers to the injury of Athens, than at the beginning of the struggle, with which the Argives were as yet wholly unconcerned.

This edition and commentary provides an invaluable introduction to one of Euripides' less well-known plays, and describes the enormous value of the text for our understanding of Athenian drama, religion, and society. Heraclidae is one of Euripides' "alphabetical" plays, preserved exclusively in a Laurentian manuscript, and therefore not selected in antiquity. Not even in modern times, despite the excellent commentaries of Elmsley (1821) and Pearson (1907), and powerful articles by Wilamwitz, has the play been given the prominence it deserves. This edition interprets the play in a wide cultural setting, considering unorthodox aspects of the structure of the drama, but placing particular emphasis on the cults and myths of Heracles in Attica, on his apotheosis and marriage, on his association with the young, and most of all on the two most striking rituals in the play: the voluntary self-sacrifice of the daughter of Heracles, and the conversion of Eurystheus from an enemy of Athens to a hero whose dead body will protect the city-state. The text is James Diggle's (Oxford Classical Texts 1984).

This edition and commentary provides an invaluable introduction to one of Euripides' lesser-known plays. The play is centered round the fortunes of the children of Heracles and their persecution at the hands of the king of Athens, Eurystheus. Wilkins's commentary interprets the poetic and dramatic features of the play, and also locates it in its cultural setting, discussing its importance to the understanding of Greek cults and religious rituals. The Greek text matches that of the Oxford Classical Text.

The theme of the Heraclidae is how the children of Heracles, under the care of Iolaus and Alemena, were driven from city to city throughout Greece, fleeing the wrath of Eurystheus, king of Argos, who hated them for their father's sake.
