Abstract

Among Euripides satyr plays, Sciron is the only one with a plot inspired by an episode of the Athenian myth of Theseus, hero and tenth king of Athens. For the conjectural reconstruction of this very fragmentary drama we have a partial hypóthesis and eleven fragments found mostly in works by later authors. There are only seven complete verses, ten partial verses and two isolated words, but despite their short length, the remaining text fits the known myth and shows that Euripides adapted the main elements of Sciron's story to satyr play format and to one of its main themes, the defeat of the ogre and liberation of the satyrs.
