	The "Shamir" and Other Legends of Ancient Animal Medicine
		The snake's herb is clearly another example of a "shamir", but Polyidus obtains this shamir almost by accident: he did not kill the snake in a conscious plan to provoke a crisis and summon the shamir.
		This makes Polyidus rather different from the ancient druggists described by Aelian and Pliny who purposefully trapped the hoopoe chicks inside their nest, or who blinded the lizard or the weasel and then enclosed it in a jar.
		Yet the story of Polyidus does still share a common motif with the story of the hoopoe's shamir or the blinded lizard and the rings: all these stories involve secret substances and powers in the possession of the animals, which are revealed to human beings only in a moment of crisis.

	Aristotle's Poetics: Notes on Euripides' Iphigeneia in Tauris
		Aristotle also refers to another way in which the recognition of Orestes could be handled (proposed by the sophist Polyidus: ch.
		For example, it would now be Iphigeneia who, having recognised her brother, has to establish her identity: since Orestes 'knows' that his sister is dead, that might not be easy.
		One possible advantage of Polyidus' proposal would be that we could get much closer to the actual moment of sacrifice before the recognition intervenes; so the tension might be built up more.)

		Long after that the brother of the priestess happened to come; the fact, however, of the oracle having for a certain reason bidden him go thither, and his object in going, are outside the Plot of the play.
		On his coming he was arrested, and about to be sacrificed, when he revealed who he was--either as Euripides puts it, or (as suggested by Polyidus) by the not improbable exclamation, 'So I too am doomed to be sacrificed, as my sister was'; and the disclosure led to his salvation.
		This done, the next thing, after the proper names have been fixed as a basis for the story, is to work i.e.isodes or accessory incidents.
