APGRD Notes
This play has the full titles: Nauplius sails in (katapleon) or Nauplius lights a fire (Pyrkaeus). The titles may refer to the same play or to two separate plays. We do not know when this play (or plays) 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.
