Poine: a study in ancient Greek blood-vengeance - Hubert Joseph Treston

(3) Of the Apolline or historical system we need not review the evidence which has been given at length in our Second Book. This evidence has been examined and interpreted by many modern scholars. We have indicated what we considered the most probable interpretation of matters which were open to doubt, especially when the solution of the problem was important for the analysis of blood-vengeance in Attic tragedy. We have sought to prove that Plato’s homicide code should be regarded as an important and indispensable contribution to the study of Greek homicide-law. However difficult the analysis of the references to homicide in Attic tragedy may have been, without Plato any such analysis would have been impossible.
