μὴ τῶν τυράννων; sc. “γέννημα ἦν”: for the interrogative “μή”, cp. O. C.1502.The plur. (like “βασιλέων” in Ant.1172) denotes ‘the royal house’: so, in O. C.851, Creon calls himself “τύραννος”, though Eteocles is reigning. Εὐρύτου σπορά τις ἦν; The only natural sense is, ‘had Eurytus any issue?’ She had heard that he had sons (266). But we may suppose, either that she forgets this, or, better, that her question is qualified by its context, meaning, ‘had Eurytus any daughter?’ The other version, ‘was she a child of Eurytus?’ would make τις strangely weak. Further, in a mere surmise, such as this, the less direct inquiry seems the fitter.
