ers of his death. So Horace calls Socrates "Anyti reum," "Sat." ii. 4, 3. [117] Homeric Epigrammata, xiii. 5. Quoted also in "On Virtue and Vice," Sec. 1. [118] Odyssey, xix. 40. [119] I adopt the suggestion of Wyttenbach, [Greek: eipen, o Daphnaie]. [120] Pinder, "Pyth." i. 8. [121] See for example Homer, Iliad, xi. 3, 73; ix. 502. [122] Euripides, "Pirithous," Fragm. 591. Dindorf. [123] An allusion to Homer, "Odyssey," xii. 453. [124] So Terence, "Andria," 555. "Amantium irae amoris integratiost." [125] Euripides, "Hippolytus," 194-196. [126] The lines are from Alcaeus. Thus Love was the child of the Rainbow and the West Wind. A pretty conceit. [127] Greek _iris_. [128] 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. [129] See Euripides, "Hippolytus," 7, 8. [130] 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." [131] Like Reiske we condense here a little. [132] Reading with Reiske [Greek: orthes kai athruptou.] [133] I read [Greek: ei gar]. [134] See "Iliad," xxiii. 295. Podargus was an entire horse. [135] See Ovid, "Metamorph." iii. 206-208. [136] AEschylus, "Toxotides," Fragm. 224. [137] A very favourite proverb among the ancients. See Plat. "Phaedr." fin. Martial, ii. 43. [138] Soph. Fragm. 712. [139] On Lais, see Pausanias, ii. 2. Her Thessalian lover is there called Hippostratus. Her favours were so costly that the famous proverb is said to owe its origin to her, "Non cuivis homini contingit adire Corinthum." [140] The AEgean and Ionian. Cf. Horace, "Odes," i. 7, 2. [141] On Acro-Corinthus, see Pausanias, ii. 4. The words in inverted commas are from Euripides, Fragm. 921. [142] On Lais generally, and her end, see Athenaeus, xiii. 54, 55. [143] See Sec. I. The Festival of Love was being kept at this very time. [144] This story is also told by Plutarch, "De Mulierum Virtutibus," Sec. xx. [145] Sophocles, Fragm. 741. Quoted again in "On
