# Phoenician Women is produced as a Theban-war play around 410 BCE

Date: 410

## The fact

Around 410 BCE Phoenician Women was produced, a play of Eteocles, Polynices, and a besieged Thebes. The dated production is not Trojan Women of 415 and not Bacchae. [Euripides](/people/euripides)’s documented role is: He produced the Phoenissae, a play of fratricide and a city’s siege. The demos watched; later Loeb is access; unique year is conventional. Do not twin this with Trojan Women. Different cycle, different year. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Euripides's documented role is: He produced the Phoenissae, a play of fratricide and a city’s siege. The demos watched; later Loeb is access; unique year is conventional.

## Context

Named others on the file: Unnamed actors, the demos, and later editors share the production. The public setting is the file around -0410-01-01. Unnamed clerks, soldiers, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. The instrument stays Phoenician Women is produced as a Theban-war play around 410 BCE. The setting of Phoenician Women is produced as a Theban-war play around 410 BCE is the public file around -0410-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [humanitarian-access](/drivers/humanitarian-access) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica and Perseus independently identify Phoenissae as a distinct Euripidean war-play. Official: Britannica — Euripides, Phoenician Women (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Euripides; Encyclopaedia Britannica). Independent: Perseus — Euripides, Phoenissae (https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0118; Perseus Digital Library). The two URLs are different pages. Where the carrier is a later edition or a received narrative, that limit is stated rather than upgraded to an autograph.

Lag to any modern indicator is not treated as zero. This path is attached because the mechanism is named from this act, not because a driver list needed coverage. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.
