Euripides
PLAYS
The following plays can be dated with precision: Nos. 1, 2, 3, 10, 13, and 16. Two others, Nos. 17 and 18, are known to have been performed posthumously. While the dates of Nos. 11 and 15 are reasonably precise, the rest of the plays have been dated almost exclusively on internal evidence. (Rhesus formerly grouped with Euripides's plays, is now generally considered to be the work of an anonymous author of the fourth century B.C.) In each case the first title given is a transliteration from the Greek; the first in parentheses is the Latin designation.
