Production notes: 
We do not know when this play was first produced. If the play is alluded to in Aristophanes' Acharnians (see scholion on line 433), then it must have been performed before 425 BC. The date range for performance given here therefore ranges from the date of Euripides' first competition (see Life of Euripides) to 426 BC. The performance venue and location is not certain, but it is assumed here that this play would have been performed in Athens.
