Anspielungen und Missverständnisse : Scholien verstehen und emendieren : Betrachtungen über die moschopouleischen Kommentare zur 'Elektra'“ des Sophokles vv. 823-825

“Allusions and Misunderstandings: Understanding and emending Scholia. Considerations on the Moschopoulean Comments on Sophocles’ “Electra” vv. 823–825”: In this article, I am looking into the question of what the scholia on the Byzantine triad of Sophocles by Manuel Moschopoulos contain and what understanding and possibly emending them entails. In particular, I consider the comments on Sophocles’ Electra (vv. 823–825), which are preserved in the so-called Moschopoulean manuscripts of Sophocles, and discuss techniques of textual criticism with regard to Scholion Σ_2 for the expression φαέθων Ἅλιος (vv. 823–824). In the first part, I will briefly describe the context in which these verses are to be found. In the second part, I edit, for the first time, the marginal scholia and the interlinear glossae on these verses with a few notes and (where necessary) translations. I also emphasize the relationships between the Moschopoulean manuscripts of Sophocles. Finally, I examine various literary sources and exegetical material from different eras in order to determine whether the expression καὶ ὁ ἕτερος τῶν ἵππων αὐτοῦ, applied to Phaethon in the manuscripts, is justifiable
