Patrocles of Thurii On the Vicissitudes of Fate in Greek

On the Vicissitudes of Fate, also known by the Greek title Apospasmata, is a work attributed to Patrocles of Thurii. The title Apospasmata translates as "Extracts" or "Fragments," and the composition is described as a verse drama. The work is unattested in standard scholarly sources and its manuscript tradition is unrecorded, leaving its status as a complete, fragmentary, or lost text unverified. The provided metadata indicates it consists of five passages, and its titular designation as a collection of excerpts suggests the content may derive from larger dramatic works. While the author's name and origin in the Greek colony of Thurii suggest a possible Hellenistic context, the work's specific content, character, and historical or literary significance remain entirely undocumented.
