“…It is impossible to discuss these problems here. On embedded speeches in the parodos of the Agamemnon see the perceptive remarks of Uhlig (2019), who stresses how the choral voice blends with that of Calchas in the second and third repetition of the ritual refrain.…”

The present article aims to show that several passages of Greek tragedy make use of language present in the Getty Hexameters, especially in contexts where incantations and protection of the city are mentioned. The Getty Hexameters were written on a lead tablet at the end of the fifth century BC in Sicily (Selinus or, more likely, Himera). The article argues that the composition of the text predates the lead tablet by several decades (section 2). It focuses on similarities in structure and language that involve Soph. fr. 535 (section 4), Aeschylus’ Oresteia (section 5), Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus (section 6) and Euripides’ Hecuba (section 8). It also suggests that Plato (section 7) and late antique poetry and prose (section 9) reuse some of the linguistic elements of the incantatory tradition of the Getty Hexameters.
