The present work aims to study Lycophron?s Alexandra from the point of view of the ?fiction of original performance? theoretical model. After an introduction, the article is divided in three parts: first, a presentation of the theoretical model and its main concepts; second, a summary of the problem of the dating and the authorship of the Alexandra; finally, in the last section the model is applied to the analysis of the poem. Two main conclusions stand out, one regarding the generic identification of the text as part of a tragedy and another one regarding its relation with the rest of the poetry of the period.
