ΑΤΑΛΑΝΤΗ

Atalanta
The holy speaking beam of the Argo groaned aloud1
Atalanta
A play of this name is listed in the medieval catalogue, but it is nowhere else quoted or referred to, and we have no way of telling which of the various stories about Atalanta it presented; it is perhaps most likely, though, that the play had to do with her participation in the Calydonian Boar Hunt, a famous heroic episode not otherwise known to have formed the subject of any complete play of Aeschylus (though compare Libation-Bearers 602–612, on the death of Meleager).
Bacchae
This play is known only from its inclusion in the medieval catalogue of plays and from a single citation by Stobaeus (see below), and it may have been identical with one of the better-attested Dionysiac plays such as Bassarids, Woolcarders or Pentheus (qq.v.) The one surviving fragment would suit any play about the punishment of an enemy of Dionysus.
