Excerpt from Transactions and Proceedings of the America Philological Association, Vol. 47: 1916

Recent discussions of the story of Rhesus and the publication of Professor Murray's metrical translation of the drama of that name which has come down to modern times among the plays of Euripides, have revived interest in the old controversy as to its authenticity. Most of the older writers rejected it on grounds which seemed to them adequate, while those who have examined the question more recently are, as a rule, in favor of its acceptance as a tragedy of Euripides. I do not propose to discuss the problem in detail, but I have long believed that the Rhesus was a genuine work of Euripides, and it has seemed worth while to set forth briefly those of my reasons for thinking so which have not already been anticipated and fully discussed by others.
