Zeitschrift für Klassische Philologie, Patristik und lateinische Tradition
This paper scrutinizes a textually corrupted passage in Aischylos (Choeph. 283 – 290). The main difficulty lies in verse 285, which cannot be understood in its given form and place. Therefore many scholars have assumed the loss of one or more verses after 284, others resorted to transposing the controversial line. I will argue for a combination of this two methods proposing a new solution, which makes the corruption paleographically likely and gives a new sense to the thus healed passage: It is the dark look of the Erinyes, described as their sharp weapon, which wreaks havoc upon Orestes.
