Tre note alle Coefore di Eschilo

This paper discusses three passages of Aeschylus' Choephori (v. 87-99, 319-21, 354-62). At v. 87, H.L. Ahrens' conjecture τί fo is slightly modified by adding a question mark immediately after fo, so as to bring the passage in line with the normal tragic use of this type of expression; the transposition of v. 91-92 after 95 (Weil) or 99 (Diggle) is rejected, as well as Brown's proposal to write ἦ at v. 93; at v. 94 some new arguments are proposed in support of Bamberger's conjecture ísa. As for v. 319-21, a new parallel (emprosthókentros, Arist. HA 490a 18, PA 678b 16, 683a 4) is suggested for the rare compound prosthodómois, supporting the interpretation "standing in front of the house".

At v. 354-62 the emendations of Heimsoeth and Bannert, which obfuscate the syntactic continuity with the preceding words of Orestes at v. 351-52, are rejected and a new parallel is added for the idea that Agamemnon's inglorious death has deprived him of the distinguished condition he would have had in Hades by dying at Troy.
