A Note on Soph. OC. 176-87
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This note re-evaluates a proposal by Dain for the second strophe of the parodos in Sophocles’ Oedipus Coloneus (176-87), likely affected by a lacuna. The author aims to highlight the critical value of Dain’s suggestion, which has been largely overlooked. Dain’s proposal would greatly enhance the emotional impact of Oedipus’ struggle, as he painfully traverses the stage, relying on his daughter for support.
