Abstract
Lines 1021–22 of Sophocles’ Trachiniae, which come right after a notorious and probably insoluble textual crux, have received much less attention but are in fact extremely problematic as well. Though these lines can be construed, they cannot be understood adequately. The scholia propose two implausible ancient interpretations; modern scholars have suggested either no less implausible interpretations of the transmitted text or unsatisfactory emendations for it. The coauthors of the present note suggest a different strategy for emending the text, which results in two different and alternative suggested conjectures.
期刊介绍:
Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
