The date of this performance is not known. Sositheus was certainly 3rd century BC since he is counted amongst the tragic Pleiad (see TrGF1, CAT A, 5a, p. 54-55). The date range for performance is based on the evidence of the Suda which says that Sositheus flourished around 284/1 BC. The place of performance is not known, here it is assumed that it would have been produced in Athens.
