This play (or these plays) has the full titles: Sisyphus Drapetes (the runaway) and Sisyphus Petrokylisthes (the stone-roller). Some have suggested that these are two separate plays, others that they should be counted as one. It is not known when this play was produced. The date range for performance given here is between the year of his first competition (acc. to Suda) and his death (Marm. Par.). It is assumed here that this play would have been produced in Athens.
