| | Didaskalia - Review |
| | But on a darker view Athens falters: Demophon participates in the sacrifice of Macaria and is a conspicuous absence during the debate about whether Alcmene should be allowed to kill Eurystheus, while the goddess' songs express dismay at human folly. | | | There are fragments of human contact: while the singer sings, the refugee children come down into the audience to shake hands after Demophon agrees to grant them asylum in Athens and Iolaus tells them to give their hands to the Athenians in thanks (307 in the Greek text). | | | This last gesture struck me as a false note, which I could only take as the slightly condescending compassion of the secure for the displaced. |
