The question is whether Pseudo-Euripides has an established authorial identity similar to Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and is referred to as such in statements of responsibility or in literature about the work in question. I remember a friend in graduate school commenting on the distinct personality of the musical theorist Anonymous IV (as in The Music Treatise of Anonymous IV: A New Translation, 1985). Both Pseudo-Dionysius and Anonymous 4 wrote more than one work, however. An additional complication would be whether or not there were several different pseudonymous works attributed to Euripides that were clearly by different people, as happens with Augustine of Hippo.
