The aim of this article is twofold. First, it collects and discusses the evidence that supports A. M. Belardinelli’s identification of the speakers in lines 150–271 of Menander’s Sikyonioi; her reconstruction can also be strengthened and improved upon in some important details. Further, a re-examination of line 169 allows for a new interpretation of the staging of the play: three stage doors need to be active, and the third stage building is a shrine which Eleusinios enters to take part in the sacrifice.

Abstract

The aim of this article is twofold. First, it collects and discusses the evidence that supports A. M. Belardinelli’s identification of the speakers in lines 150–271 of Menander’s Sikyonioi; her reconstruction can also be strengthened and improved upon in some important details. Further, a re-examination of line 169 allows for a new interpretation of the staging of the play: three stage doors need to be active, and the third stage building is a shrine which Eleusinios enters to take part in the sacrifice.
