Excerpt from The Time Elements of the Orestean Trilogy: A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of Wisconsin, 1897 Here there are two opposing theories. The first, and older of these, was, until a few years ago, the only one. It as sumed, rather as a matter of course than as a matter in need of proof, the same long period of time between the death of Ag amemnon and the return of Orestes which Homer, Pindar, Sophocles and Euripides have made familiar. The second view was advanced quite recently by Professor Seymour in an interesting article, On the Duration of the Action of the Ores tean Trilogy. 7 He states his main assumption in the follow ing words: My thesis is, that according to Aeschylus, the ac tion of the Eumenides closes only a few days (perhaps ten) af ter the Agamemnon. He thus makes the first two plays al most continuous in action. Professor Seymour's ideas have been accepted and championed by Professor Louis Dyer.
