The paper examines the Epitainarioi (i.e. “Helots at Taenarum”), a lost satyr play of Sophokles, taking into consideration its chronological and historical context, its themes and possible plot and, finally, making use of echoes in Aristophanes’ Frogs. It is suggested here that the play could date to the end of the Vth cent. B.C.: the revolt of the Helots in 464 may well have remained particularly vivid in the Athenian imagination due to the persistent seismic activity and military operations in the South of the Peloponnese. Moreover, as this satyr play was based on Herakles’ katabasis at Taenarum, the Frogs seems to play on thematic borrowings and allusions to the works of Sophokles and Eupolis who died in 406 and 411 B.C respectively
