[126] The lines are from Alcaeus. Thus Love was the child

[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

[129] See Euripides, "Hippolytus," 7, 8.
[130] Here the story unfortunately ends, and for all

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
