P.Vindob. G 26768a: Non-Antimachean Thebaid (with Possible Associated Fragments from Other Collections)

Abstract

In this chapter I take a fresh look at the hexameter adespoton P.Vindobonensis G. 26768a, arguing that the text does not cover the events preceding the race between Atalanta and Hippomenes, and that is not by Hesiod, as proposed by its editor. The name of Parthenopaeus, Atalanta’s son, who participated in the War of the Seven against Thebes, should be supplied in l. 12. Lines 20 ff. deal with Atalanta’s dream of her son’s death. The chapter also discusses the relation of this poem with two other anonymous hexameter fragments from Oxyrhynchus, P.Oxy. 2519 and P.Oxy. 859, which seem to deal with Parthenopaeus’ departure from Arcadia to Thebes.
