Euripides, "Bacchae," 203. [85] Euripides, Fragment of the "Melanippe." [86] I take Wyttenbach's suggestion as to the reading here. [87] This line is taken bodily by Aristophanes in his "Frogs," 1244. [88] The first line is the first line of a passage from Euripides, consisting of thirteen lines, containing similar sentiments to this. See Athenaeus, xiii. p. 599, F. The last two lines are from Euripides, "Hippolytus," 449, 450. [89] Compare Lucretius, i. 1-5. [90] Hesiod, "Theogony," 116-120. [91] Euripides, "Danae," Frag. Compare Ovid, "Cedit amor rebus: res age, tutus eris." [92] Sophocles, Fragm. 678, Dindorf. Compare a remark of Sophocles, recorded by Cicero, "De Senectute," ch. xiv. [93] Sophocles, Fragm. 720. Reading [Greek: kala] with Reiske. [94] Iliad, v. 831. [95] Connecting [Greek: Ares] with [Greek: anairein]. [96] The _Saint Hubert_ of the Middle Ages. [97] AEschylus, Frag. 1911. Dindorf. [98] Odyssey, v. 69. [99] Fragm. 146, 125. [100] Hermes is alluded to. [101] All these four were titles of _Zeus_. They are very difficult to put into English so as to convey any distinctive and definite idea to an English reader. [102] Enthusiasm is the being [Greek: entheos], or inspired by some god. [103] From AEschylus, "Supplices," 681, 682. [104] "Iliad," vii. 121, 122. [105] Like the character described in Lucretius, ii. 1-6. [106] Sophocles, "Trachiniae," 497. The Cyprian Queen is, of course, Aphrodite. [107] Hence the famous Proverb, "Non omnibus dormio." See Cic. "Ad. Fam." vii. 24. [108] Above, in Sec. xiii. [109] 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_." [110] The "Niobe," which exists only in a few fragments. [111] This was the name of Dionysius' Poem. He was a Corinthian poet. [112] "Iliad," xiii. 131. [113] Reading according to the conjecture of Wyttenbach, [Greek: hos ton Erota uonon aetteton onta ton strategon]. [114] Something has probably dropped out here, as Duebner suspects. [115] Fragment from the "Stheneboea" of Euripides. [116] Anytus was one of the accusers of Socrates, and so one of the caus
