Production notes:
The date is derived from a scholion which places this play in the year after Euripides’ Andromeda. If the Lysistrata was produced at the Lenaea of 411, the Thesmophoriazousai must have been produced at the Dionysia. See Aristophanes, Thesmophoriazousai ed. C. Austin and S.D. Olson (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004), pp. xxxiii-xxxvi. Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazousae parodies the following Euripidean tragedies: Telephus, Palamedes, Helen, and Andromeda.
