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.
