Not illustrated. 1910 Excerpt: ...TrXoxd/wws. Lucian Dial, meretr. 8.1 alludes to the cutting of a mistress' hair as the act of a jealous lover. We now know that throughout Dial, meretr. 9 he has in mind the situation that confronts Polemon on his return from the wars, and that he draws on the play for significant details. Philostratus also alludes to the subject of the play in two letters, Ep. 16 and 01 (both quoted below). Each of the six pieces of MS. is vouched for by conclusive evidence, either internal or external: E by an allusion (v. 53) to the hair-cutting and by proper names and subject matter; J by the recurrence (v. 243) of a quotation accompanied by the title; Lp.1 by overlapping J; K by proper names and content; Lp.2 by content, by the fact that it obviously continues K, and by its belonging to the same book as Lp.1; and the Oxyr. fr. by proper names and subject matter.

Polemon's violence drives Glycera out of his home. A critical situation is thus created which gives rise to the subsequent course of plot and sub-plot. The sympathy of the specta...
