Hypsipyle (Template:Lang-grc) is a partially preserved tragedy by Euripides, about the legend of queen Hypsipyle of Lemnos, daughter of King Thoas.[1] It was one of his last and most elaborate plays.[2] It was performed c. 411–407, along with The Phoenician Women which survives in full, and the lost Antiope.[3]
Originally only known from a few fragments, knowledge of the play was greatly expanded with the discovery of Oxyrhynchus Papyrus 852 in 1905, and its publication by Grenfell and Hunt in 1908.[4] Of his lost plays, it is the one with the most extensive fragments.[5]
Plot
The play is based on three stories of Hypsipyle's legend: the rescue of her father, her meeting with Jason and the Argonauts, and her subsequent exile from Lemnos.[6]
