Un problema testuale ‘dimenticato’: Soph. El. 1245-50

Soph. El. 1245-50, a passage from the recognition duet between Electra and Orestes, has so far steered clear of the editors’ criticism. However, the passage presents a number of small and yet troublesome problems: there is a lacuna; the participle is syntactically obscure; the meaning of the verb is not perspicuous; the position of the phrase is strange. Our paper investigates all the problems mentioned above, trying to reassess the grammatical, syntactical, and linguistic status of the passage, and to find a solution to its main difficulties. © 2018, Adolf M.
