page 101 note 1 In its verbal style the Trachinians displays Euripidean traits. The use of λ⋯χος and λ⋯κτρον is noted by Fraccaroli. The words 
form a group of compounds appearing in this play alone of Sophocles’ extant plays. Euripides has a liking for this compound; cf. ⋯ρτ⋯δακρυς, Med. 903; ⋯ρτιμαθ⋯ς, Hec. 687; 
, Suppl. 742; 
Med. 294; I.A. 877. The compound 
, Trach. 640, seems to be of great significance in view- of the fact that Sophocles has but two compounds of καλλι-, the other also in a late play (O.C. 682), while Euripides has no less than twenty compounds of this word. Moreover, 
is modelled on 
of Heracles 356. This characteristically Euripidean compound is also found in Ion 169 and I.T. 222. The repetitions so frequent in Euripides also appear in this play in considerable numbers.
