7972 | Or why, if they knew them, did they not introduce them in the poems, which, we are told, they were filling with non- Mycenaean greaves and corslets? |

7972 | The course of evolution seems to be:( 1) the Mycenaean prime of much archery, no body armour(? |

7972 | Why had Thrasymedes the shield of his father? |
7972 | Why is there so much excitement at the assembly of Book II.? |
7972 | Why were they ignorant of small circular shields, which they saw every day? |
7972 | Why, if they were bent on modernising, did they not modernise the shields? |
7972 | Why, then, do the supposed late continuators represent tools, not weapons, as of iron? |
7972 | Why, then, had Homer''s men in his time not made this step, seeing that they were familiar with the use of iron? |

7972 | Would they therefore sing of things familiar-- of iron weapons, small round shields, hoplites, and cavalry? |
7972 | Would wandering Ionian reciters at fairs have maintained this uniformity? |
7972 | _ Now_, was his[ Greek: talamos] or bedroom, also his dining- room? |
7972 | and had the leather interior lasted with the felt cap through seven centuries? |
7972 | and how, if they modernised unconsciously, as all uncritical poets do, did the shield fail to be unconsciously"brought up to date"? |
7972 | and would a late poet, in a society no longer feudal, know how to wind it up? |
7972 | been consciously or unconsciously introduced by the late poets? |

7972 | is she not perhaps still a married woman with a living husband? |
7972 | or would they avoid puzzling their hearers by speaking of obsolete and unfamiliar forms of tactics and of military equipment? |
7972 | we must ask"What, taking it provisionally as a literary whole, are the qualities of the poet as a painter of what we may call feudal society?" |
7972 | what place therefore needed purification except the hall and courtyard? |
7972 | would a feudal audience have been satisfied with a poem which did not wind the quarrel up in accordance with usage? |

12651 | Are those people dead or alive? |
12651 | Are we in an atmosphere where we need be at much pains to speak with bated breath? |

12651 | Did you not say you had come here from beyond the seas?" |

12651 | How, then, justify the whiteness of the Holy Family in the chapels? |
12651 | I meddle and pry? |
12651 | I readily admit it; but why have so many of our leaders shown such a strong hankering after the theory, if there is nothing in it? |
12651 | If heredity be an affair of memory, how can an embryo, say of a mule, be expected to build up a mule on the strength of but two mule- memories? |
12651 | If it is admitted that use and disuse can do a good deal, what does a good deal mean? |
12651 | If they can do as much as Mr. Darwin himself said they did, why should they not do more? |

3052 | AND WHICH OF THE SECTIONS, THE INTELLIGIBLE OR THE SENSIBLE, IS THE GREATER? |
3052 | AND WHY DO THOSE SEEDS THAT FALL ON THE OXEN''S HORNS BECOME[ Greek omitted]? |
3052 | Again, Euripides saith, How can that man be called a slave, who slights Ev''n death itself, which servile spirits frights? |
3052 | And Aristo presently cried out: What then, for heaven''s sake, are there any that banish philosophy from company and wine? |
3052 | And Bias said: For where or in what company would a man more joyfully adventure to give his opinion than here in this? |
3052 | And are not then the evening, dawning, and midnight bodies? |
3052 | And are these things according to Nature chosen as good, or as having some fitness or preferences... either for this end or for something else? |
3052 | And at private entertainments among friends, for whom doth the table more justly make room or Bacchus give place than for Menander? |
3052 | And being deprived of some of his senses, does he not become weary even of life? |
3052 | And can we produce nothing from history to club to this discourse? |
3052 | And can you( looking upon me) offer any better reason? |
3052 | And could not Jupiter have found a means to bring into the world Hercules and Lycurgus, if he had not also made for us Sardanapalus and Phalaris? |
3052 | And do not you take away that which is apparent to all the world, that the young are contained in the nature of their parents? |
3052 | And do they not also determine the substance and generation of conception itself, even against the common conceptions? |
3052 | And do they not also profess themselves to stand at an implacable and irreconcilable defiance with whatever is generous and becoming? |
3052 | And for what other reason in truth should a man of parts and erudition be at the pains to frequent the theatre, but for the sake of Menander only? |
3052 | And he as smartly replied: Do you think that Agamemnon did so many famous exploits when he was inquiring who dressed congers in the camp? |
3052 | And how can the motion of the universe, extending as it does to particular ones, be undisturbed and unimpeached, if these are stopped and hindered? |
3052 | And how is it possible for him who is at Megara to come to Athens, if he is prohibited by Fate? |
3052 | And if any one should thus question him; What sayst thou, Epicurus, that this is voidness, and that the nature of voidness? |
3052 | And if circles, why may not also their diameters be neither equal nor unequal? |
3052 | And if so, why not also angles, triangles, parallelograms, parallelopipeds, and bodies? |
3052 | And if they are transgressors of the law, why is it not just they should be punished? |
3052 | And if they do not quadrate, how can it be but the one must exceed and the other fall short? |
3052 | And if they neither live nor can live who place generation in union and death in disunion, what else do these Epicureans? |
3052 | And in which of Plato''s commentaries has he found this hidden? |
3052 | And indeed what do they ever embrace or affect that is either genteel or regardable, when it hath nothing of pleasure to accompany it? |
3052 | And is not this discourse of Aristotle very probable? |
3052 | And must we be angry with our delight, unless hired to endure it? |
3052 | And one of the company saying, It is the Persian fashion, sir, to debate midst your cups; And why, said Glaucias rejoining, not the Grecian fashion? |
3052 | And should I not in hell tormented be, Could I be guilty of such sacrilege? |
3052 | And the tenth, the fifteenth, and the thirtieth, are they not bodies? |
3052 | And therefore why should any one, that believes men can be affected and prejudiced by the sight, imagine that they can not act and hurt is well? |
3052 | And was not the crown anciently of twined parsley? |
3052 | And what did he mean, do you think, who made this verse, You capers gnaw, when you may sturgeon eat? |
3052 | And what great difference is there between this and that? |
3052 | And what is prudence? |
3052 | And what shall I take for the principle of duty and matter of virtue, leaving Nature and that which is according to Nature? |
3052 | And what the pleasures of Aristotle, when he rebuilt his native city Stagira, then levelled with the ground, and brought back its exiled inhabitants? |
3052 | And what the pleasures of Theophrastus and of Phidias, when they cut off the tyrants of their respective countries? |
3052 | And what, Phaedo, might be the cause of it? |
3052 | And what, for God''s sake, do those men mean who, inviting one another to sumptuous collations, usually say: To- day we will dine upon the shore? |

3052 | And when in exhortations made to encourage soldiers to fight, he speaks in this manner:-- What mean you, Lycians? |
3052 | And yet he frequently even tires us with his praises of this saying:-- What need have men of more than these two things? |
3052 | And yet is it not evident that a man consists of more parts than a finger, and the world of more than a man? |
3052 | And yet who might better have them than he? |
3052 | Are they not those who declare that reigning and being a king is a mistaking the path and straying from the right way of felicity? |
3052 | Are they not those who withdraw themselves and their followers from all part in the government? |
3052 | Are we more healthy for being vicious, or do we more abound with necessaries? |
3052 | Are you not ashamed to mix tame fruits with blood and slaughter? |
3052 | Aristarchus placeth the sun amongst the fixed stars, and believeth that the earth[ the moon?] |
3052 | As first, you may say, why is it plastered? |
3052 | As soon as he had said this, Trypho the physician subjoined: How hath our art offended you, that you have shut the Museum against us? |
3052 | As-- to take that which comes next neither had heat when they came, nor are become hot after their being joined together? |
3052 | Aye; but how comes it then, my good friend, that you bid me eat and be merry? |
3052 | BUT WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY DIVIDING THE UNIVERSE INTO UNEQUAL PARTS? |
3052 | Be like to courteous guests, and him Who asks only fire and shelter: does this man now not need entertainment? |
3052 | Besides all this, what should hinder but there may be an understanding of evil, and an existence of good? |
3052 | Besides, if there are superficies neither equal nor unequal, what hinders but there may be also circles neither equal nor unequal? |
3052 | Bird or egg, which was first? |
3052 | But Aesop in her vindication asked: Is it not much more ridiculous that all present can not resolve the riddle she propounded to us before supper? |
3052 | But here Erato putting in said: What, is it decreed that no pleasure must be admitted without profit? |
3052 | But how do you prove that wine is cold? |
3052 | But how full of trouble and contradictions in respect of one another these things are, what need is there to say at present? |
3052 | But if he allows these a place in his city, why does he drive away his citizens from things that are pleasing and delight the ear? |
3052 | But if wise men command wicked ones indifferent things, what hinders but the commands of the law may be also such? |
3052 | But if, being mixed with these, it is altered and made like to them, how is it a habit or power or cause of these things by which it is subdued? |
3052 | But is it in this alone, that this excellent man shows himself-- To others a physician, whilst himself Is full of ulcers? |
3052 | But pray, continues he, wherefore is it that she shows such affection to Anacharsis? |
3052 | But pray, sirs, what is your opinion in these matters? |
3052 | But to pass by these considerations, is not accustoming one''s self to mildness and a human temper of mind an admirable thing? |
3052 | But to persist still in this matter, what is more repugnant to sense than the imagining of such things? |
3052 | But what hurt, I pray, have I done to the wine, by taking from it a turbulent and noisome quality, and giving it a better taste, though a paler color? |
3052 | But what is the cause of the rainbow? |
3052 | But what is the reason the air never draws a stone, nor wood, but iron only, to the loadstone? |
3052 | But what is this you say? |
3052 | But what need I instance in those that are consummately good? |
3052 | But where on earth is virtue to be met with? |
3052 | But who are they that utterly confound and abolish this? |
3052 | But who is ignorant that he who can not do a good deed can not also sin? |
3052 | But why should any one be angry with him about the Naxians? |
3052 | But why should this belong to the Muses more than any other of the gods? |
3052 | But why, sir, are you concerned at this? |
3052 | But will you speak a paradox indeed, both extravagant and singular? |
3052 | But yet how did the Thebans escape, the Thessalians helping them with their testimonies? |
3052 | But yet since you command me to make the election, How can I think a better choice to make Than the divine Ulysses? |
3052 | But, I pray, what kind of transfiguration of the passages is this which causes hunger and thirst? |
3052 | CHAPTER V. WHENCE DOES THE WORLD RECEIVE ITS NUTRIMENT? |
3052 | Can you tell me, said he, how to construe this, and what the sense of it may be? |
3052 | Could I Sleep, or live, if thee I should neglect? |
3052 | Did Argos hold him when the hero fell? |
3052 | Did Cleadas, O Herodotus, or some other, write this also, to oblige the cities by flattery? |
3052 | Did he resolve and answer every one of these questions? |
3052 | Do not the Stoics act in the very same manner? |
3052 | Do you ask this, who hold all the senses to be infallible, and the apprehensions of the imagination certain and true? |
3052 | Does he not show that not only oxen but all other living creatures, as sharers of the same common nature, are beloved by the gods? |
3052 | Does not also Zeno follow these, who hold Nature and that which is according to Nature to be the elements of happiness? |
3052 | Does the earth move like the sun, moon, and five planets, which for their motions he calls organs or instruments of time? |
3052 | Does the stretching out a finger prudently produce this joy? |
3052 | Dost thou fancy something better after this life than what thou hast here? |
3052 | Dost thou hope for any good from the gods for thy piety? |
3052 | FROM WHENCE IS IT THAT THE MOON RECEIVES HER LIGHT? |
3052 | Florus, when we were entertained at his house, put this question, What are those in the proverb who are said to be about the salt and cummin? |
3052 | For are not these things beseeming and answerable to the doctrine of Socrates? |
3052 | For did Alexander, think you,( or indeed could he possibly) forget the fight at Arbela? |
3052 | For how can it but be absurd to blame those who nourish these creatures, if he commends Providence which created them? |
3052 | For how can it possibly be frigid in others to praise any for such things, and not ridiculous for him to rejoice and glory in them? |
3052 | For how could he expect to gain the knowledge of other things, who has not been able to comprehend the principal element even of himself? |
3052 | For how is it possible that he should be susceptible of dying on the land, who is destined to die at sea? |
3052 | For if he thought that those who were not brisk would be useless, to what purpose was it to mix among his soldiers those that were suspected? |
3052 | For if it be divine and holy, why should they avoid it? |
3052 | For if the air wherein the vessel hangs be cold, how, I pray, does it heat the water? |
3052 | For if they quadrate, how is either the greater? |
3052 | For this being granted, how will the gods be rather givers of good than evil? |
3052 | For to whom shall we offer the sacrifices preceding the tilling of the ground? |
3052 | For what else has he done in these places, but shown the great diversity there is between these things? |
3052 | For what is it that Democritus says? |
3052 | For what is more principal than the permanency of the world, or that its essence, united in its parts, is contained in itself? |
3052 | For what is wanting to bring them to the highest degree of speaking paradoxes, but the saying of such things? |
3052 | For what man is there or ever was, except these, who does not believe the Divinity to be immortal and eternal? |
3052 | For what pain, what want, what poison so quickly and so easily cures a disease as seasonable bathing? |
3052 | For what should hinder him from erecting a tragical machine, who by his boasting excelled the tragedians in all other things? |
3052 | For when he asked,"Do you, Epicurus, say, that wine does not heat?" |
3052 | For who do more subvert the common conceptions than the Stoic school? |
3052 | For who ever drank so long as those that are in a fever are a- dry? |
3052 | For who is there that is not already full of the arguments brought against those paradoxes? |
3052 | For who would wrong or injure a man that is so sweetly and humanly disposed with respect to the ills of strangers that are not of his kind? |
3052 | For who, said he, doth not know, that the middle of wine, the top of oil, and the bottom of honey is the best? |
3052 | For why art thou so eager to catch him, if thou wilt let him go when he is caught? |
3052 | From what other place than here did originate that doctrine of the Stoics? |
3052 | God, the tutelary, of Rome; existence and essence of a; what is? |
3052 | HOW MANY SENSES ARE THERE? |
3052 | HOW WAS THIS WORLD COMPOSED IN THAT ORDER AND AFTER THAT MANNER IT IS? |
3052 | Had it not been allowable, if Apollo himself had come in with his harp ready to desire the god to forbear till the argument was out? |
3052 | Has Nature also made health for the sake of hellebore, instead of producing hellebore for the sake of health? |
3052 | Have you not heard how and in what manner the judgment passed? |
3052 | His answers to the foresaid questions I will read to you.--What is most ancient? |
3052 | How comes it to pass then, said he, Theognis that thou thyself being so poor pratest and gratest our ears in this manner? |
3052 | How did Homer appraise each of these? |
3052 | How then did there go forth from Sparta to Plataea a thousand and five men, having every one of them with him seven Helots? |
3052 | How then do they extricate themselves out of these difficulties? |
3052 | How then is it, that they admit and allow Nature, soul, and living creature? |
3052 | How then is vice useful, with which neither health nor abundance of riches nor advancement in virtue is profitable? |
3052 | How then? |
3052 | How will wickedness be displeasing to them, and hated by them? |
3052 | INTO HOW MANY ZONES IS THE EARTH DIVIDED? |
3052 | IS IT MORE PROBABLE THAT THE NUMBER OF THE STARS IS EVEN OR ODD? |
3052 | If Rhetoric is the power of persuasive speaking, who more than Homer depended on this power? |
3052 | If hot, how does it afterwards make it cold? |
3052 | If then it is so pleasant to do good to a few, how are their hearts dilated with joy who are benefactors to whole cities, provinces, and kingdoms? |
3052 | If we find out Homer supplying the beginnings and the seeds of all these, is he not, beyond all others, worthy of admiration? |
3052 | In what then is this to be preferred to indifferent things? |
3052 | Indeed what wonder is it if, when the foundation shakes, the superstructure totter? |
3052 | Is a prudent torture a thing desirable? |
3052 | Is he happy, who with reason breaks his neck? |
3052 | Is he more inclined to male or female love? |
3052 | Is it not that they suppose, what is certainly true, that a dinner upon the shore is of all others most delicious? |
3052 | Is it not therefore against sense to say that the seed is more and greater than that which is produced of it? |
3052 | Is not a month a body? |
3052 | Is not the end, according to them, to reason rightly in the election of things according to Nature? |
3052 | Is not then the first day of the month a body? |
3052 | Is not therefore also the aversion( called[ Greek omitted]) a prohibiting reason, and a disinclination, a disinclination agreeable to reason? |
3052 | Is that of the greatest dignity, which reason often chooses to let go for that which is not good? |
3052 | Is that perfect and self- sufficient, by enjoying which, if they possess not too indifferent things, they neither can nor will endure to live? |
3052 | Is their opinion true who think that he ascribed a dodecahedron to the globe, when he says that God made use of it in delineating the universe? |
3052 | Is there an election of magistrates? |
3052 | Is there then no good among the gods, because there is no evil? |
3052 | Let me know; And to your dear old Priam shall I go? |
3052 | May some say, do the rest of the parts conduce nothing to speech? |
3052 | Nature, sentiments concerning; what is? |
3052 | Nay then, said Theon, if you approve so highly of this subject, why do you not set in hand to it? |
3052 | Nay, what shall a man say, when he sees the dull unlearned fellows after supper minding such pleasures as have not the least relation to the body? |
3052 | Now I would gladly ask him, what he thinks of bees and honey? |
3052 | Now how can they make a body without quality, who understand no quality without a body? |
3052 | Now if a cup ought to have nothing that is nasty or loathsome in it, ought that which is drunk out of the cup to be full of dregs and filth? |
3052 | Now if these are the things that disturb and subvert human life, who are there that more offend in speech than you? |
3052 | Now what a kind of punishment was it the Corinthians would have inflicted on them? |
3052 | Now what can be more against sense than that, when Jupiter governs exceedingly well, we should be exceedingly miserable? |
3052 | Now what does Herodotus, when he comes to this? |
3052 | Now what else is there that makes a kind office a benefit, but that the bestower of it is, in some respect, useful to the needy receiver? |
3052 | Now what else will this show, but that to wicked men and fools not to live is more profitable than to live? |
3052 | Now what has Empedocles done else, but taught that Nature is nothing else save that which is born, and death no other thing but that which dies? |
3052 | Now what is more contrary to kindling than refrigeration, or to rarefaction than condensation? |
3052 | Now what man ever was there that lived the worse for this? |
3052 | Now, as for his doctrine of possibles, how can it but be repugnant to his doctrine of Fate? |
3052 | Now, pray sir, what reason can you find for these wonderful effects? |
3052 | Of the second, Why lovers are inclined to poetry? |
3052 | Or Pelopidas the tyrant Leontiadas? |
3052 | Or Phormio, when he thought he had treated Castor and Pollux at his house? |
3052 | Or Themistocles the engagement at Salamis? |
3052 | Or as Theophrastus, who twice delivered his city, when possessed and held by tyrants? |
3052 | Or between procreation and making? |
3052 | Or do you desire to understand the greatest sweetness of his eloquence and persuasion? |
3052 | Or does vice contribute anything to our beauty and strength? |
3052 | Or has Plato figuratively called the maker of the world the father of it? |
3052 | Or how came it that, exposing themselves to so many dangers, they vanquished and overthrew so many thousand barbarians? |
3052 | Or how can Bacchus be any longer termed the donor of all good things, if men make no further use of the good things he gives? |
3052 | Or how can God be spherical, and be inferior to man? |
3052 | Or how is he above being endamaged, when he is so cautious lest he be wronged of his recompense? |
3052 | Or is a right line in Nature prior to circumference; or is circumference but an accident of rectilinear? |
3052 | Or is not a day a body? |
3052 | Or is there any difference between a father and a maker? |
3052 | Or is there any solid reason that can be given to prove Adonis to be the same with Bacchus? |
3052 | Or may such discourse be otherwise allowed, and must they be thought unseemly problems to be proposed at table? |
3052 | Or rather, since the palm is common to both, may it be, as if lots had been cast, given to either, according to the inclination he chances to have? |
3052 | Or shall we be afraid to oppose that divine oracle to Epicurus? |
3052 | Or that, rising up to go forth into the market- place, he runs not his head against the wall, but takes his way directly to the door?" |
3052 | Or where are there any that are so long solaced with the conversation of friends as tyrants are racking and tormenting? |
3052 | Or who was ever so long eating as those that are besieged suffer hunger? |
3052 | Ought we not to time it well, and direct our embrace by reason? |
3052 | QUESTION I WHAT, AS XENOPHON INTIMATES, ARE THE MOST AGREEABLE QUESTIONS AND MOST PLEASANT RAILLERY AT AN ENTERTAINMENT? |
3052 | QUESTION V. WHAT IS THE REASON THAT PEBBLE STONES AND LEADEN BULLETS THROWN INTO THE WATER MAKE IT MORE COLD? |
3052 | QUESTION VI WHAT IS THE REASON THAT MEN PRESERVE SNOW BY COVERING IT WITH CHAFF AND CLOTHS? |
3052 | Racing, as at the Olympian games? |
3052 | Right, said Diogenianus, but what is this to the present question? |
3052 | Say you so? |
3052 | Shall we reckon a soul to be a small expense? |
3052 | Silence following upon this, What application, said I, shall reason make, or how shall it assist? |
3052 | Sir, I replied, do not you consider that the soul, when affected, works upon the body? |
3052 | Soon after he proposed that perplexed question, that plague of the inquisitive, Which was first, the bird or the egg? |
3052 | Such was the flatterer''s to Philip, who chided him: Sir, do n''t I keep you? |
3052 | Summer, autumn, and the year, are they not bodies?" |
3052 | That is, is it convenient to do things that are not convenient, and a duty to live even against duty? |
3052 | That they fled as conquered, whom the enemies after the fight could not believe to have fled, as having got much the better? |
3052 | The exactness of motions and harmony are definite, but the errors either in playing upon the harp, singing, or dancing, who can comprehend? |
3052 | The first question is, Whether at table it is allowable to philosophize? |
3052 | The stimulus to this came from Homer,--why should any one insist on the providence of the gods? |
3052 | Then said my brother cunningly: And do you imagine that any, upon a sudden, can produce any probable reasons? |
3052 | Then, said I, do you believe this to be my opinion? |
3052 | These things being thus in a manner said and delivered, what would these defenders of evidence and canonical masters of common conceptions have? |
3052 | Thirdly, how is the world perfect, if anything beyond it is possible to be moved about it? |
3052 | This discourse being ended, and Philinus hummed, Lysimachus began again, What sort of exercise then shall we imagine to be first? |
3052 | Thus Tigranes, when Cyrus asked him, What will your wife say when she hears that you are put to servile offices? |
3052 | Till Hector''s arm involve the ships in flame? |
3052 | To what purpose, said Solon, should I trouble him or myself to make inquiry in a matter so plain? |
3052 | To whom those for the obtaining of preservation? |
3052 | Upon this, all being silent, Florus began thus: What, shall we tamely suffer Plato to be run down? |
3052 | WHAT ARE PRINCIPLES? |

3052 | WHAT WAS, THE REASON OF THAT CUSTOM OF THE ANCIENT ROMANS TO REMOVE THE TABLE BEFORE ALL THE MEAT WAS EATEN, AND NOT TO PUT OUT THE LAMP? |

3052 | WHENCE DID MEN OBTAIN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE EXISTENCE AND ESSENCE OF A DEITY? |
