Notes on the current edition

Library

1. For the story of the treachery of Eriphyle to her husband Amphiaraus, see also Diod. 4.65.5ff. ; Paus. 5.17.7ff. ; Paus. 9.41.2 ; Scholiast on Hom. Od. 11.326 (who refers to Asclepiades as his authority); Hyginus, Fab. 73 ; Scriptores rerum mythicarum Latini, ed. Bode, i. p. 49 (First Vatican Mythographer 152) . The story is alluded to but not told by Hom. Od. 11.326ff. ; Hom. Od. 15.247 ; Soph. Elec. 836ff. ), and Hor. Carm. 3.16.11-13 . Sophocles wrote a tragedy Eriphyle, which was perhaps the same as his Epigoni. See The Fragments of Sophocles, ed. A. C. Pearson, vol. i. pp. 129ff.
2. Compare Diod. 4.65.6 ; Scholiast on Hom. Od. xi.326 ; Scholiast on Pind. N. 9.13(30) . As the sister of Adrastus (see above, Apollod. 1.9.13 ) and the wife of Amphiaraus, the traitress Eriphyle might naturally seem well qualified to act as arbiter between them.
