Considerazioni su Eur. El. 367-400 e su due testimoni tolemaici (P.Hibeh I 7, O.Berol. inv. 12319)

Since the last decades of the 19th century, the authenticity of eur. El. 367-400 has been called into question by many scholars. the debate often involves actors’ interpolations, in order to justify the consistency shown by the ancient and medieval tradition in the transmission of the text. By offering a new and comprehensive examination of that portion of the tragedy and the resulting debate, the paper provides new arguments for the authenticity of the entire rhesis, emphasising also the different trends evident in various phases of the history of criticism on this passage.
