Part 57

3005 (return) [ These two lines possibly belong to the account of the feast given by Agamemnon at Lemnos.]

3006 (return) [ sc. the Asiatic Thebes at the foot of Mt. Placius.]

3101 (return) [ sc. after cremation.]

3102 (return) [ This fragment comes from a version of the Contest of Homer and Hesiod widely different from that now extant. The words ‘as Lesches gives them (says)’ seem to indicate that the verse and a half assigned to Homer came from the Little Iliad. It is possible they may have introduced some unusually striking incident, such as the actual Fall of Troy.]

3103 (return) [ i.e. in the paintings by Polygnotus at Delphi.]

3104 (return) [ i.e. the dead bodies in the picture.]

3105 (return) [ According to this version Aeneas was taken to Pharsalia. Better known are the Homeric account (according to which Aeneas founded a new dynasty at Troy), and the legends which make him seek a new home in Italy.]

3201 (return) [ sc. knowledge of both surgery and of drugs.]

3301 (return) [ Clement attributes this line to Augias: probably Agias is intended.]

3302 (return) [ Identical with the Returns, in which the Sons of Atreus occupy the most prominent parts.]

3401 (return) [ This Artemisia, who distinguished herself at the battle of Salamis (Herodotus, vii. 99) is here confused with the later Artemisia, the wife of Mausolus, who died 350 B.C.]

3402 (return) [ i.e. the fox knows many ways to baffle its foes, while the hedge-hog knows one only which is far more effectual.]

3403 (return) [ Attributed to Homer by Zenobius, and by Bergk to the Margites.]

3501 (return) [ i.e. ‘monkey-men’.]

3601 (return) [ Lines 42-52 are intrusive; the list of vegetables which the Mouse cannot eat must follow immediately after the various dishes of which he does eat.]

3602 (return) [ lit. ‘those unable to swim’.]

3603 (return) [ This may be a parody of Orion’s threat in Hesiod, “Astronomy”, frag. 4.]

3701 (return) [ sc. the riddle of the fisher-boys which comes at the end of this work.]

3702 (return) [ The verses of Hesiod are called doubtful in meaning because they are, if taken alone, either incomplete or absurd.]

3703 (return) [ Works and Days, ll. 383-392.]

3704 (return) [ Iliad xiii, ll. 126-133, 339-344.]

3706 (return) [ Iliad ii, ll. 559-568 (with two additional verses).]

3707 (return) [ Homeric Hymns, iii.]
