Production notes: 
It is not known when this play was produced. The date range for performance given here is based on the dates of the rule of Ptolemy IV Philopater (221-205 BC), it does not seem likely that he was writing tragedies before then (he came to power at the age of 23). No fragments from this play survive, but we know of it from the scholia on Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazusae 1059. The performance venue is not known and is based on conjecture.
