Titolo P. Fay. Coles I (Eurípides, fr. 449): ?copia del Cresfontes o antología? Periodico Prometheus Anno: 2016 - Volume: 42 - Pagina iniziale: 61 - Pagina finale: 70
Some of the features of P. Fay. Coles I make it difficult to determine which kind of literary product it represents: most scholars consider the papyrus to be a copy of Euripides’ Cresphontes, but it has also been suggested that it could be the fragment of an anthology. In this paper I argue that the latter possibility deserves more attention: I try to show that scholars’ arguments against it are not valid and are still influenced by the old theories about the ancient gnomological tradition.
