The Fragments of Sophocles, Vol. 2 Edited with Additional Notes from the Papers of Sir R. C. Jebb and Dr. W. G. Headlam (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Fragments of Sophocles, Vol. 2: Edited With Additional Notes From the Papers of Sir R. C. Jebb and Dr. W. G. Headlam Fr. 324 leaves no doubt that the story of Sophocles was the same as that which is preserved in Apollodorus. Wagner (epz't. Vat. P. 132) inferred that Apollodorus derived his material from the 13717596019 of Sophocles' play2, and the conclusion would be much more convincing than it is, if there were better reasons than those given by Nauck for assigning fr. 325 to Sophocles. But whether boiling pitch or some other instrument was em ployed by the daughters in compassing the destruction of Minos matters little; in other respects, the main features of the plot are securely fixed by the general agreement of the authorities.
