lO James T. Lees, 



the verses of the chorus do not occur. Two passages remain 

 where the rule is apparently violated, — Elek. 1050-1060, 

 which is discussed later, and Hek. 1182-1187.^ 



In the translation of the p/yVei? the attempt has been made 

 to choose typical speeches to illustrate our author, and to 

 state briefly the leading lines of thought rather than to follow 

 the text verbatim. The text of Nauck, 3 ed., Leipzig, 1885- 

 1887, has been taken as the basis ; but other editions have been 

 freely consulted, and where other readings seemed preferable 

 they have been adopted. Constant use has been made of 

 Wilamowitz-Moellendorff's "Analecta Euripidea,"and Nauck's 

 " Euripideische Studien."
