^{page 52 note 2} I gather that Ahrens, G. L. in Zeitschr.f. d. Ant. Wiss., 1844, ‘BeiL zum Okt.,’ p. 4Google Scholar, anticipated my view by maintaining that the only trial in the last play was a trial of Danaus, but I have not seen this article. Haupt, C. G. (Supplices, 1829, p. 112)Google Scholar and Gruppe, O. (Ariadne, 1834, pp. 79 ff.Google Scholar) mentioned this half of Hermann's theory only to reject it. A. Tittler, in Zeitschr. f. d. Ant. Wiss., 1838, col. col. 1003, gives the now received view; and so do Nitzsch, G. W. in Die Sagenpoesie der Griechen, 1852, p. 563Google Scholar, and Wecklein, N. in Sitzb. d. philos.-philol. Kl. d. buyer. Ak. d. Wiss., 1893, II., pp. 393–450Google Scholar. I have not noticed any reference to the rejected theory later than Welcker's in Rh. M., 1846, and its 1861 reprint in his Kl. Schriften.

^{page 53 note 1} After this article was written I discovered that this suggestion was made by Tittler, A. in Zeitschr. f. d. Ant. Wiss., 1838, col. 975Google Scholar, and that it was accepted by Welcker, in Rh. Mus., 1846, p. 503Google Scholar (=Kl. Schriften, pp. 120, 121). Neither critic attaches exactly the same significance to the suggestion as I do, and I have left my remarks as I originally wrote them. Since Welcker, the suggestion seems to have been ignored by students of Aeschylus and by students of Greek religion alike.
