	Adrastus Parentans is uniquely preserved by the British Library ms
		In important respects Adrastus Parentans suffers considerably by comparison with another university tragedy about a disastrous boar hunt, William Gager’s Meleager (1582), a play with which Mease may well have been familiar, as it had been printed at Oxford by Joseph Barnes in 1593.
		This too is Herodotean, insofar as the tale of Atys’ death at the hands of Adrastus is immediately linked to the debate between Solon and Croesus, as an illustration of the “nemesis of the god” that befell Croesus (I.34 - 45).
		Mease was a divinity student, and all of this appears to be very much at odds with Christian theology (since Croesus’; suffering illustrates the principle that what befalls a man at the hands of the divine is unrelated to his behavior, or to his moral and spiritual condition).

		Adrastus desisted from the assault, and the armies, which had suffered severely, agreed that the originators of the quarrel, Eteocles and Polynices, should fight out their difference in single combat.
		According to the version of the story invented by the Attic tragedians, the Thebaus refused to bury their foes, but at the prayer of Adrastus were compelled to do so by Theseus; according to another version, he conquered the Thebans and buried the dead bodies at Eleusis in Attica (jEschylus, Septem contra Thebas).

	Ridgeway's Theory of the Origin of Tragedy
		For example, at Athens on the third day of the Anthesteria, a very ancient festival of the dead, pots of cooked vegetables were offered to the gods and to the dead, and there circular dances were performed similar to those held on solemn occasions at this hour in India and elsewhere.
		But amongst primitive peoples all dances are mimetic and pantomimic, and this holds true of not a few of those in vogue amongst civilized nations, as in the case of the Japanese Bon Odori, and to this rule the Greeks were no exception.
		That dead saints and martyrs who have suffered much in life are supposed to be pleased by having their woes kept in continual remembrance after death has been put beyond doubt.
