We do not know when this play was first produced. The date range given here is based on Sophocles' first competition (Mar. Par) and his last (Life of Euripides 2). It is assumed here that the play would have been performed in Athens. It has been suggested that this play was a satyr drama. It has also been suggested that this may have been the same play as the Phineus.
