APGRD Notes
We do not know when this play was produced. The Oineus is alluded to in Aristophanes' Acharnians (418-420) and therefore must have been performed before the production of that comedy in 425 BC. The date range for performance given here therefore ranges from the date of Euripides' first competition (see Life of Euripides) to 425 BC. The performance venue and location is not certain, but it is assumed here that this play would have been performed in Athens.
