Concerning Alexandra, we propose the authorship of Lycophron at the beginning of s. iii B.C. and we also refuse the ‘interpolations’ in 1226 ff. and 1435 ff., holding the view that they refer to Alexander the Great in honor of the Ptolemies, without having to date the composition of the poem to s. ii or to the Augustan era. Also it is defended that the work is a ‘Hellenistic’ tragedy without classical canons, that it can be performed in courtly or academic areas and that it is a precedent of Byzantine forms.
