APGRD Notes
It is not sure when Dionysius was producing tragedies and the date range given here is based on conjecture. He is given the name either Dionysius Heracleotes or Dionysius Metathemenos; see TrGF1, 113 Dionysius Heracleotes, p. 282. No fragments remain of the Parthenopaeus, but Diongenes Laertius (5, 92) tells us that either Dionysius or Spintharus wrote a 'Parthenopaeus'. The performance venue is unknown.
