Are There Fragments from Aeschylus Among the Anonymous Tragic Book-Fragments?
Abstract
This paper examines 19 book-fragments in Kannicht and Snell’s edition of the fragmenta tragica adespota (TrGF II) that have been attributed to Aeschylus at different times. It concludes that only three of these fragments (trag. adesp. frr. 208, 291 and 301 K.-Sn.) can be plausibly attributed to Aeschylus.
