Arthur Dillon Pelops

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Here the present dramatic action begins; and is in form a Tetralogy, that is to say, a cycle of four members, comprising a trilogy, or sequence of three tragedies followed by a satyric play, connected in subject-matter. The first Play of the series opens with Myrtilus craving reward, which Hippodamia refuses; denouncing him to Pelops as insulting her; while Myrtilus denounces her, as her father's murderer. Pelops kills Myrtilus and puts away Hippodamia and her children, Atreus and Thyestes, as tainted with parricide, leading home as his bride the Nymph Danai's.
