Narrative about the hypothesis of Temenidai
Description
The narrative deals with a battle between the sons of Herakles and the Peloponnesians. Before the battle Temenos, the eldest of the Herakleidai, offered the kingdom to that one of his sons who gained most distinction in it. Success in the battle fell to the Heraklidai, and Archelaos the eldest was adjudged the most distinguished.;The narrative seems to go back to a hypothesis of the Temenidai, because it displays a remarkable overlap with fr. 107 of P.Oxy. XXVII 2455. In addition to this overlap, Luppe points to the occurence of participles and other expressions. But there is a diffreence as well: the repetition of words does not agree with the usual style, cf. l. 3, 4-5, 8 and 9.
