Lions of Nemea question re: Euripides play


Prof Flaxmore was described as actually just some old time con artist. How was he able to create a credible ancient Greek play, a credible translation, and then what looked like a thick book about it?

I guess he did his homework, heh, heh. But really, keep in mind he had the help of his assistant - her name escapes me at the moment - to do it. I think he had some old grudge he hoped to appease so he went all out to do it, covered what he thought were all the bases. Yes, it seems like a stretch, but then again, this isn't real life so dramatic license takes over.
