	Lost ancient play makes modern debut - theage.com.au
		First performed around 408 BC, Hypsipyle tells the myth of an exiled queen who is sold into slavery after secretly sparing her father, who was to be killed along with all the other men on the Greek island of Lemnos.
		Pieces of Hypsipyle were discovered in 1906 among 100,000 pieces of papyrus found at an ancient garbage dump excavated at Oxyrhynchus, 159 km southwest of Cairo, according to professor Peter Parsons, director of Oxford University's Oxyrhynchus Papyri project.
		The text of Hypsipyle was copied around the middle of the second century AD onto the back of an "account of receipt and expenditure" dating to the first century AD, Parsons said.

		Hypsipyle herself then assumed rule over the island, and hosted Jason and the Argonauts, on their (not always arduous) quest for the Golden Fleece.
		In Euripides' Hypsipyle, the heroine is rescued from the wrath of Lykourgos by her two sons.
		After the death of Opheltes, Lykourgos was so furious with Hypsipyle that he contrived a horrible punishment for her: he announced that the winner of the stadion race at the games would not only receive the celery crown, but also the right to slay Hypsipyle on the altar of Zeus.

		Hypsipyle's impregnation by Jason is followed by the separation from her children and her exile.
		Even at the end, it still remains unclear how much her otherness has benefited the Argive army on its way to initiate civil war: Hypsipyle's failure as a queen on the public level, and as a daughter (her saving of Thoas is marked as fraus) and mother in the private domain, forebodes disasters.
		As the Argive other, the male threat, has been driven from the walls of the city, and the miasma of the Theban tyrant is extinguished, what remains is to relegate the mothers and wives to the margins of the poem, as the poet himself is ready to bring the boat of the Thebaid to harbor.

	Lemnos
		From the Argonauts and the Lemnian women were descended the race called Minyae[?], whose king Euiieus[?], son of Jason and Hypsipyle, sent wine and provisions to the Greeks at Troy.
		The historical element underlying these traditions is probably that the original Thracian people were gradually brought into communication with the Greeks as navigation began to unite the scattered islands of the Aegean[?]; the Thracian inhabitants were barbarians in comparison with the Greek mariners.
		The worship of Cybele was characteristic of Thrace, whither it spread from Asia Minor at a very early period, and it deserves notice that Hypsipyle and Myrina (the name of one of the chief towns) are Amazon names, which are always connected with Asiatic Cybele-worship.

	ekathimerini.com \| A lost tragedy of Euripides to be staged for the first time in Ancient Epidaurus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		“Hypsipyle” was one of Euripides’ last plays and was performed in 408 BC along with “The Phoenician Women,” which survives in full, and the lost “Antiope,” although they are not related thematically.
		Hypsipyle was the queen of Lemnos, who wound up after various adventures as a slave in the court of Lycurgus, the king of Nemea, as wet nurse to his infant son.
		The appearance of King Lycurgus threatening Hypsipyle in the final scene had to therefore be “invented” on the basis of specific references, such as a Latin text, an inscription on a pot, etc.

		When the Argonauts landed at Lemnos and married the women, Hypsipyle bore twin sons to Jason: Euneits, who in Homer figures as king of Lemnos and carries on trade with the Greeks before Troy ; and Thoas, who is sometimes described as a son of Dionysus.
		When the news of her father's escape was rumoured among the Lemnian women, Hypsipyle was forced to flee for her life, and was captured by pirates, who sold her to Lycurgus of Nemea.
		There, as the nurse of Opheltes, the infant son of the king, she accidentally caused his death (see seven against thebes), and was exposed to the greatest danger, from which she was only rescued by the intervention of her sons, who were sent to her aid by Dionysus.

	Hypsipyle
		In revenge, the Lemnian women killed all the men, along with their concubines, although Hypsipyle managed to save her own father, Thoas.

		When Jason looked on Hypsipyle he saw one who seemed to him to be only childlike in size.
		Hypsipyle spoke two languages—one, the language of the mothers of the women of Lemnos, which was rough and harsh, a speech to be flung out to slaves, and the other the language of Greece, which their fathers had spoken, and which Hypsipyle spoke in a way that made it sound like strange music.
		She spoke and walked and did all things in a queenlike way, and Jason could see that, for all her youth and childlike size, Hypsipyle was one who was a ruler.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2006.03.18
		This complexity of characterization becomes clear in the case of Hypsipyle, whom Valerius constructs from multiple allusive models, including Apollonius' character (alternately sticking closely to or moving away from this model), the figure of Dido (herself a character who draws on a multiplicity of exempla, including Apollonius' Hypsipyle), Nisus and Euryalus, and Aeneas.
		As Gibson shows, when Hypsipyle reappears in Statius' Thebaid, she is an allusive figure with a more aggressive relationship toward her predecessors, not so much looking back to earlier models as Valerius' character did, but rewriting and supplanting earlier versions.
		Hypsipyle, a character who obsessively tells and retells her own story with all the accoutrements of an epic narrator, is a pair for Statius.

		King of Nemea was at the time Lycurgus 3 (son of Pheres 1, son of Cretheus 1, son of Aeolus 1, son of Hellen 1, son of Deucalion 1, the man who survived The Flood).
		This Hypsipyle had been queen of the Lemnian women, but was afterwards sold into slavery by them, the reason being that, when the Lemnian women decided to kill their husbands and all men in Lemnos because of their having taken Thracian wives, Hypsipyle secretly spared her father.
		But now, years after the expedition of the ARGONAUTS, and years before the Trojan War, when the SEVEN came to Nemea looking for water, Hypsipyle showed them the way to a spring, and in doing so she left behind the little prince Opheltes 1, who was devoured by a dragon.

		The eloquent Echion, Jason's herald, soon set their minds at rest; and Hypsipyle called a council at which she proposed to send a gift of food and wine to the Argonauts, but not to admit them into her city of Myrine, for fear of being charged with the massacre.
		Hypsipyle claimed Jason for herself, and royally entertained him; it was then that he begot Euneus, who eventually became King of Lemnos.
		A rock projecting into the sea protects two natural harbours: Romeikos Gialos and the smaller Tourkikos Gialos; most likely the names refer to the fact that the large Venetian convoys used to cast anchor in the large northern bay, while the more protected southern cove was preferred during the Ottoman rule.
