Production notes: 
The date of production is not known. Antiphon (not the famous orator, though anecdotes relating to the tragedian are attached to the orator in the bibliographical tradition) seems to have worked at the court of Dionysius, tyrant of Syracuse; the performance venue is based on this assumption. There is also a tradition that he was put to death by Dionysius; see evidence at TrGF1, 55 Antiphon, p. 193-4. The date range for productions of his tragedies is therefore based on the rule of Dionysius. Only one word from this play survives.
