Part 10

Sophocles, "Trachiniae," 497. The Cyprian Queen is, of course, Aphrodite.

Hence the famous Proverb, "Non omnibus dormio." See Cic. "Ad. Fam." vii. 24.

Above, in Sec. xiii.

See Sophocles, "Antigone," 783, 784. And compare Horace, "Odes," Book iv. Ode xiii. 6-8, "Ille virentis et Doctae psallere Chiae Pulchris excubat in genis."

The "Niobe," which exists only in a few fragments.

This was the name of Dionysius' Poem. He was a Corinthian poet.

"Iliad," xiii. 131.

Reading according to the conjecture of Wyttenbach, [Greek: hos ton Erota uonon aetteton onta ton strategon].

Something has probably dropped out here, as Duebner suspects.

Fragment from the "Stheneboea" of Euripides.

Anytus was one of the accusers of Socrates, and so one of the causers of his death. So Horace calls Socrates "Anyti reum," "Sat." ii. 4, 3.

Homeric Epigrammata, xiii. 5. Quoted also in "On Virtue and Vice," Sec. 1.

Odyssey, xix. 40.

I adopt the suggestion of Wyttenbach, [Greek: eipen, o Daphnaie].

Pinder, "Pyth." i. 8.

See for example Homer, Iliad, xi. 3, 73; ix. 502.

Euripides, "Pirithous," Fragm. 591. Dindorf.

An allusion to Homer, "Odyssey," xii. 453.

So Terence, "Andria," 555. "Amantium irae amoris integratiost."

Euripides, "Hippolytus," 194-196.

The lines are from Alcaeus. Thus Love was the child of the Rainbow and the West Wind. A pretty conceit.

Greek iris.

The mirrors of the ancients were of course not like our mirrors. They were only burnished bronze. Hence the view in them would be at best somewhat obscure. This explains 1 Cor. xiii. 12; 2 Cor. iii. 18; James i. 23.

See Euripides, "Hippolytus," 7, 8.

Here the story unfortunately ends, and for all time we shall know no more of it. Reiske somewhat forcibly says, "Vel lippus videat Gorgus historiam non esse finitam, et multa, ut et alias, periisse."

Like Reiske we condense here a little.

Reading with Reiske [Greek: orthes kai athruptou.]

I read [Greek: ei gar].
