ResumoScholars in modern times have seen Pericles lurking behind the tragic masks of Aeschylus’ Eteocles or Orestes or Zeus, and Sophocles’ Creon or Oedipus. All these identifications are for one reason or another implausible. It is suggested here instead that Euripides may have modelled his Theseus in Supplices on the lately deceased, now all-but-sanctified Pericles, perhaps taking his lead from Aristophanes’ too lifelike portrayal of Cleon as the Paphlagonian slave in Equites.
