Alcmaeon in Corinth

About the show

In the surviving plot summary, Alcmaeon leaves his children Tisiphone and Amphilochus to be raised in Corinth. Queen Merope sells Tisiphone into slavery; Alcmaeon unknowingly buys her and returns to Corinth, where he reunites with Amphilochus and Tisiphone's identity is revealed. The ancient tragedy is lost, and its plot is reconstructed from a later summary and fragments.
