Theristai (

Philoctetes and Dictys.[1] The tetralogy finished in 3rd place, behind tetralogies by Euphorion (Aeschylus' son), who won 1st prize, and Sophocles.[2][3]

The play was recorded as having been lost as early as 200 BCE by Aristophanes of Byzantium in his hypothesis for Medea.[4] No fragments have been assigned to Theristai. It has been suggested that this play may be an alternate title for Euripides' lost play Syleus, for which several fragments are extant.[4][5]
