eir hair streaming in the

[30] [Greek: akoe] is here to be understood in the sense of [Greek:
akouomenon] as we find [Greek: aisthesis] for [Greek: aistheton], [Greek:
nous] for [Greek: to nooumenon].

[31] The words [Greek: didymon potamon] do not refer to Dirce, but to
Thebes, Thebes being called [Greek: polis dipotamos]. The construction is
[Greek: pyrgos didymon potamon]. Thus in Pindar [Greek: oikema potamou]
means [Greek: oikema para potamoi]. Olymp. 2. Antistr. 1.

[32a] [Greek: goun]. See Dind.

[33] [Greek: ti gar patho]; _Quid enim agam?_ est formula eorum, quos
invitos natura vel fatum, vel quaecumque alia cogit necessitas. VALCKEN.

[34] [Greek: Prosegoreson] is to be joined with [Greek: molon], not with
[Greek: eimi]. In confirmation of this see line 1011.

[35] So called after Neis the son of Amphion and Niobe, or from [Greek:
neatai], "_Newgate_." SCHOL.

[36] Argus himself might be called [Greek: stiktos], but not his eyes,
hence [Greek: pyknois] is proposed by Heinsius. Abreschius receives [Greek:
stiktois] in the sense of [Greek: hois stiktos esti].

[37] The Scholiast makes [Greek: bleponta] the accusative singular to agree
with [Greek: panopten]. Musgrave takes it as agreeing with [Greek: ommata];
in this latter case [Greek: kryptonta] is used in a neuter signification.
Note [F].

[38] This is Musgrave's interpretation, by putting the stop after [Greek:
hos], which also Porson adopts; others would join [Greek: hos] with [Greek:
preson]. It seems however more natural that the torch should be referred to
Tydeus's emblem, than to himself.

[39] Commentators and interpreters are much at variance concerning the word
[Greek: strophinxin]. For his better satisfaction on this passage the
reader is referred to the Scholia.

[40] [Greek: geissa] is in apposition to [Greek: laan] in the preceding
line. Cf. Orestes, 1585.

[41] Commentators are divided on the meaning of [Greek: enelata]. One
Scholiast understands it to mean the uprights of the ladder in which the
bars are fixed. Eustathias considers [Greek: enelaton bathra] a periphrasis
for [Greek: bathra, enelata] being the [Greek: bathra] or [Greek:
bathmides], which [Greek: enelelantai tois orthois xylois].

[42] Musgrave would render [Greek: hygrotet' enantian] by "mobilitatem male
coalescentem;" in this case it would indicate the bad omen, and be opposed
to [Greek: akran lampada], which then sho
