Abstract: The political allusions that are found scattered throughout Euripides’ HF make it a purely political work. An in-depth study of the messages in this tragedy and a careful examination of the evidence in Thucydides, Hell. Oxy., etc., shed light on the historical events that form the background to the play. The findings of the historical study are complemented by those of the metrical data, offering a secure date for the play of somewhere between 419–416 BC (excluding 417 BC).
