Euripides' lost Auge as a picture book, built only from the scraps that survive: quoted lines, single words in old dictionaries, and what other writers said about the play.

Euripides wrote a play about a priestess who gave birth inside a temple. It is gone, but Diogenes Laertius, Plato, a comic poet, and a travel writer each kept a piece of it without meaning to.
