Abstract

Among the surviving fragments of Euripides’ Phaethon, there are some gnomic and sententious that the scholars have attributed to the agonal scene of the tragedy: the frr. 775-775a-776-777 K. Submitting to a new critical and exegetical analysis these brief fragments, firstly the paper aims to investigate and to define, where available, the topics of the contention between Merops and Phaethon - in particular Phaethon’s reluctance to marry and Merops’ yearning for wealth - and then the character traits of the contenders. Secondly, from a broader perspective, the paper proposes to examine the fragmentary traces of a generational conflict between father and son, old and young, recurring theme in Euripidean drama and peculiar in Phaethon’s domestic tragedy.
