Interprets the poetic and dramatic features of Euripides' play, and also locates it in its cultural setting, with a discussion of the cults and religious rituals of the Greeks. The play centres around the fortunes of the children of Heracles, and their persecution by the king of Athens.

The myth; literary sources for the flight of the Heraclidae to Athens; the "Heraclidae" of Aeschylus; innovations by Euripides?; the action of the play and the characters; the religious and social context; the integrity of the play; Heraclidae in art; the date of the play; the text.

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).
