Simonides and Theseus (Sim. frr. 242, 243, 287 Poltera = PMG 550, 551, 551A) (pp. 37-51).

Abstract

The paper aims at analyzing three fragments by Simonides concerning the
myth of Theseus and argues that they originally belonged to the same work.
The fragments suggest that Simonides was the first to connect the Cretan
expedition with the Amazon’s abduction and to emphasize some
ideological aspects of the hero, that played an important role in the
development of this figure in the Athenian context.
