Two lost plays of Euripides

This study is devoted to demonstrating that the Peirithous is indeed a work of Euripides, on the showing of internal evidence as analysed in the light of the data bank of the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae, and that the purpose of the Palamedes was to protest the condemnation of Protagoras. In addition, several new fragments of the Peirithous are identified.
