The works of Euripides contain a rich and great variety of gnomic phrases. These provide the opportunity for an examination of the differences and the functions of gnomes, their kinds and themes. The evidence for the reception of gnomic forms are the editiones principes of Euripidean tragedies that appeared in 16th century literature and the publication of collections of maxims during the period.
