 PREFACE. 
 
 In this second edition of the Golden Treasury I 
 have introduced some changes : 
 ^ I. The number of the pieces selected has been 
 
 ^ largely increased, especially in the first and second 
 v\4 sections, and in the Fragments of the Comic Poets. 
 
 2. Headings have been prefixed to the passages 
 
 with few exceptions. 
 
 '^j 3. The notes have been omitted. But a few of 
 
 the longer notes, which seemed of peculiar value — 
 
 either as translations or analyses, or as explanations 
 
 i of the situation in the text — have been collected in 
 
 i the Appendix of Selected Notes. To these notes 
 
 vj I have added two : one on Hesiod's Calendar ; and 
 
 a second on Alcman's Agido. 
 
 4. In a second Appendix a few translations by 
 various authors, which have become classical, are 
 printed. I have to thank Messrs. Bell and Messrs. 
 Macmillan for permission to print the translations 
 by Mr. Calverlev and Mr. Arnold.
 
 vi PREFACE. 
 
 As the lines of Alcaeus, to which the short poem of 
 Sappho, printed on p. 176 (no. v), is a reply, have been 
 omitted in their proper place, I add them here :

 EPIC POETS. 
 
 For the later Greeks, as for us, the Homeric poetry was the 
 beginning of Greek literature ; and they were not less ignorant 
 than ourselves of its date, the mode of its composition, and its 
 history. The short sum of what ancient testimony has handed 
 down and modern criticism has inferred as probable with regard 
 to these questions is as follows : — 
 
 At some period, probably between 900 and 700 B. C., before 
 historical events began to be contemporaneously recorded in 
 Greece, a number of poems were composed in hexameters, 
 chiefly on the great national subject of the war of Troy and the 
 heroes who bore a part in its conduct. These poems were of 
 three species ; one kind truly epic, treating of some portion of the 
 war or its consequences as a connected series of events leading up 
 to a single issue, another biographical, treating of the adventures 
 of particular chiefs from birth to death, and a third genealogical, 
 treating of lists of successive personages, heroic or divine, without 
 any chronological or poetical unity. Of the first kind were 
 the Iliad and Odyssey ; of the third Hesiod's Theogony and 
 Eoiae or Catalogue of female characters : of the second no 
 example remains to us. Many of the compositions of the first and 
 third kinds seem to have been long regarded as equally Homeric, 
 but the Iliad and Odyssey were the most popular, and at some 
 time after Herodotus came to be considered as in a peculiar sense 
 the works of Homer as distinguished from the authors of the rest. 
 Of the two poems so distinguished by ancient taste the Odyssey 
 was almost certainly composed as one work, with perhaps the 
 exception of some portions, such as the eleventh and twenty-fourth

 books, and part of the twenty-third and some scattered passages 
 of less importance, which were not always accepted as genuine by 
 antiquity, and bear marks in themselves of being additions to the 
 original substance. The bulk of the Iliad also was probably com- 
 posed as one poem, on the subject of the wrath of Achilles, but 
 books 2 to 7 inclusive and books 9, 10, 22, and 24 do not perfectly 
 harmonise with the remainder, and may perhaps be a somewhat 
 later enlargement of the original design into one comprehending 
 not merely the consequences of Achilles' wrath, but also a general 
 account of the chief events which led to the fall of Troy. 
 Whether or not this theory of original bases and subsequent 
 additions be well founded, it cannot be doubted that substantially 
 the whole of each poem was composed in an age in which the 
 epic faculty remained still fresh and unimpaired. But it does not 
 follow either that the two poems or that the whole of either was 
 the work of one mind. Even ancient critics questioned the iden- 
 tity of authorship of the Iliad and Odyssey ; and it is quite 
 uncertain whether either of them was as a whole the production 
 of a single author or was the joint composition of a guild of 
 hereditary bards. 
 
 What seems certain is that the Iliad and Odyssey had reached 
 nearly their present form before the time of Solon's laws. Cicero 
 and Pausanias gave currency to a fable, apparently unsupported 
 by any evidence, that Peisistratus first collected and pieced 
 together scattered epic lays into these consistent wholes. But the 
 probability is that they were committed to writing in almost their 
 present state about 650 I>. C, and thenceforth at least underwent 
 no material change. Their preservation down to that time without 
 fatal loss is to be attributed to the practised memory and Homer- 
 ised taste of the professional reciters or rhapsodists, Homer's 
 curators and heirs. 
 
 By the seventh century the epic impulse seems to have died 
 away as the form of society changed in Greece, and not only were 
 no new epics of importance pioductd, but the Iliad and Odyssey 
 gradually l,cgan to pass from the public places into schools and

 homes. But at the same time copies began to be multiplied and 
 the text to be carefully guarded from corruption. As the substance 
 of a liberal education, as a treasury of rhetoric, as an inexhaustible 
 mine of philosophical and political problems, as acknowledged 
 authorities on matters of history, genealogy, and morality, and the 
 source whence poets drew their inspiration, as well as through the 
 reverent admiration which they never ceased to command, they 
 passed down in generally good preservation to the Alexandrian 
 grammarians. 
 
 These critics exerted great powers, with the advantage of having 
 to deal with a yet living language, to purify and correct the great 
 mass of epics which had been preserved to them. They included 
 the two Homeric works in a general edition or cycle, which con- 
 sisted of an arrangement of all the principal epic poems according 
 to the relative chronology of their subjects, so as to form 
 a complete course of heroic narrative, but bestowed their chief 
 pains on the Iliad and Odyssey. Zenodotus cleared the text of 
 all that seemed to him contradictory or unworthy ; Aristophanes 
 restored much that seemed to have fallen out or to have been 
 unjustly rejected ; and Aristarchus, chief of the three, combining 
 the results of their labours with his own, produced a text and 
 commentai-y which are the basis of our readings and interpretation 
 of Homer. The text as we now find it is in the main as it was 
 fixed by him; for though the extant manuscripts, with the 
 exception of a portion of the Iliad which is found in a very 
 ancient uncial manuscript, are not older than the eighth or ninth 
 century (that is, at least nine hundred years later than the time of 
 Aristarchus), and are in many places very inaccurate, they are 
 supplemented by scholia which preserve much of the results 
 of his criticism. 
 
 Originally the Homeric poems were recited by the Homerids 
 or bards in person, with a prelude and perhaps an occasional 
 accompaniment on a harp ; afterwards by professional rhapso- 
 dists, who with laurel-boughs in their hands, and, in later times,

 distinguished by coloured dresses, of red for the Iliad and of 
 purple for the Odyssey, singly or by parts recited particular books 
 or even the whole poems, generally without any musical accom- 
 paniment, but with marked rhythm and appropriate gestures, to 
 assembled crowds at banquets and public festivals. The fact 
 that these songs were primarily intended for the ear and not for 
 the eye explains many of their peculiarities, such as the plain 
 structure and shortness of the sentences, the customary epithets 
 and formulas often repeated, and those frequent transitions and 
 apostrophes, the harshness of which would be much lessened 
 in recitation, and which might even be especial opportunities for 
 the display of the reciter's art in the production of sudden 
 dramatic effects and picturesque impersonations. 
 
 Hesiod was generally thought by the Greeks to have been 
 either the senior or the contemporary of Homer. The author of 
 the Works and Days (or Calendar of Husbandry), which alone 
 (^Pausanias says) of the Hesiodic poems was admitted by the 
 I'oeotians to be genuine, states that he lived at Ascra near 
 Helicon, and that his father had come from Kyme in Aeolis. 
 
 The Homeric Hymns are of different dates, probably ranging 
 from 750 to 500 B. C.

 Nine years the Greeks laid siege to Troy, and by help of 
 Achilles kept the Trojans within their walls. But in tJie 
 tenth year, when Achilles withdrew in wrath from the -war, 
 Zeus gianted Thetis^ prayer that the Greeks might fly before 
 the Trojans until Agamemnon should repair Achilles' wtong ; 
 and the same flight sent a lying dream to bid Agamemnon 
 give battle in the morning, for that he should take the town. 
 When the next day the Greeks came near, the Trojans went 
 out to meet them by the hillock at the gate ; but before the battle 
 ZL'as joined Paris challenged Ulenelaus to single combat for 
 Helen and her wealth in the midst of the armies. While the 
 priests made ready the sacrifices for a truce. Iris led Helen to 
 the gate to see the fight. There Helen meets Priam, and 
 names for him the chiefs of the Greeks below.

 a truce for the burying of the dead closed the second day. On 
 the fourth, Zeus held the gods aloof from the battle, and at noott 
 weighed the fates of Greeks and Trojans in his scales, and the 
 Greeks^ fate fell. Then Hector drove them to the ne^u-made 
 rampart of their ships luith slaughter, and at dark the Trojans 
 lit up watchfires on the field lest in the night the Greeks should 
 steal away.

 The fifth day they fought by the rampart of the ships till, as 
 the sun grew high, Agame/nnon drove the Trojans flying 
 to their walls again. But when Agamemnon went wou)ided 
 from the field Zeus turned the day once more ; and, their best 
 chiefs wounded, and Hector thundering upon their ranks, the 
 Greeks gave way. Ajax alone covers their flight.

 Hector was lord of the field, for Zeus with his own hand 
 urged him on, and Agamemnon, Odysseus, and Dioyned lay 
 wounded by their tents. But when fire was already at the 
 ships, Achilles lent Patroclus, his friend, the divine armour 
 and immortal horses, attd the Trojans fled before him. Only 
 Sarpedon, Zeus' son, withstood him and fell. The twin 
 brethren Sleep and Death bear the tall body to its home.

 Ai ratfoclus death, grief for the friend whom he heul sent 
 to fight in his stead and to fall, drove out the anger from 
 Achilles'' heart. In vain Thetis warns him of his own death 
 that must follow Hector s. The counsel of Zeus is fulfilled, 
 and the fate of Troy once more proceeds.

 In the tenth year from the fall of Troy, when the other 
 chiefs of the Greeks had reached their homes, Odysseus still lay 
 in Calypso'' s island, all his companions lost, himself hopeless 
 of return. Bnt tvhen the destined time was come, at the 
 bidding of Zeus, Calypso helped him to a raft and a fair wind 
 homezvards, and on the tzuentieth night, shipwrecked and 
 naked, but latided at last and safe from Poseidon's wrath, he 
 slept on the shore of Scheria. The next day Naiisicaa, 
 commanded by Athene in a dream, came down ivith her 
 maidens to wash, and taking pity on him led him to her 
 father s house.

 II. LYRIC POETS.
 
 LYRIC POETS. 
 
 It is likely that even in the Homeric age a few short poems of a 
 lyric character, threnes, paeans, and Linus-songs, may have been 
 current among the people of Greece. But they were probably of 
 the nature of general liturgies or formulas by long use gradually 
 shaped into metrical form, and rehearsed as occasion required 
 without adaptation to the circumstances of the particular case. 
 The author of the Works and Days was the first, so far as we 
 know, to address formal composition to interests of the time. 
 But trammeled by the epic metre, and limited and homely in 
 range without being individual, he is hardly an exception to the 
 general conclusion that the poems of the epic age had no intrinsic 
 relation to the events amidst which they were produced. They 
 are mere impersonal voices of a remote antiquity singing in set 
 phrases of a past still more remote. It seems as if uniformity of 
 social and political life supplied no events interesting enough or 
 no passions strong enough to demand and obtain for themselves 
 a distinct and formal expression. 
 
 But when history opens with the end of the eighth century, a 
 great change has come over Greece. Violent convulsions had 
 broken up the old constitutions and substituted new relations of 
 dominant and repressed orders in each state. Numerous colonies 
 of exiles or of adventurers had been planted on the opposite shores 
 of the Mediterranean and on the Euxine, had there come in 
 contact with races of different origin, language, and arts, had 
 risen rapidly in wealth and civilisation, and had developed new 
 and more free political forms. The Grecian world was doubled ;
 
 140 
 
 LYRIC 
 
 in each part political movement was strong : in each, arts and a 
 commerce which widened the field of observation and gave 
 birth to science through navigation and its rude attendant 
 astronomy, started into life : and the two parts were connected 
 with each other, and were benefited each by the other's advances, 
 through the means of a great trade, which the colonies collected 
 from the countries whose shores they fringed, and poured inwards 
 into the mother country, and of numerous confederations and 
 more free intercourse at multiplied festivals and games. Thus 
 the whole nation, and its several states, and their political parties, 
 (as it were) awoke to consciousness through the double process 
 of intercommunication on the one hand, and conflicts of Greek 
 with barbarian, state with state, and order with order, on the 
 other. 
 
 What does not seem new or is not observed to be in contrast 
 with other things does not call for distinct enunciation; but 
 a newly felt nationality, new political passions, new knowledge, 
 and new pursuits and festivals, coinciding with the acquisition 
 from Asia of new instruments and styles of music, and with 
 leisure to demand art, and wealth to pay for it, necessarily 
 produced in a nation naturally inclined to poetical expression new 
 forms of poetry, addressed not to the legendary past, but to the 
 present and its interests. Accordingly there suddenly sprang 
 forth a variety of forms of composition, each adapted to some 
 particular species of subject, in rhythm, metre, diction, and 
 accompaniment. The intellectual character of the Greeks was 
 especially distinguished by inventiveness, by power of classiti- 
 cation, and by power of harmonising form with matter and 
 details with substance ; and that same simplicity of expression 
 or development which has made the names of their spontaneous 
 political forms to stand ever since for natural genera in politics, 
 as if they had been universal classifications framed by nature 
 herself, and made also their various species of poetical form 
 complete and harmonious in every part, in the relation of parts 
 to the whole, and of the wholes to the occasions. ' From Olympus

 (says Colonel Mure^) down to the workshop or the sheepfold, 
 from Jove and Apollo to the wandering mendicant, every rank 
 and degree of the Greek community, divine or human, had its 
 own proper allotment of poetical celebration. The gods had 
 their hymns, nomes, paeans, dithyrambs ; great men their encomia 
 and epinicia ; the votaries of pleasure their erotica and sym- 
 posiaca ; the mourner his threnodia and elegies ; the vinedresser 
 had his epilenia ; the herdsmen their bucolica ; even the beggar 
 his iresione and chelidonisma.' There were a hundred im- 
 portant occasions of public or private life, and each received its 
 proper and distinct celebration, that is, a particular species of 
 composition, measured out in appropriate rhythm, with music 
 expressive of the feelings of the moment, and glorifying those 
 feelings by association with legend and with similar occasions in 
 the lives of gods. Technical names of more than fifty such 
 distinct species of poetry have been preserved, though of their 
 several characteristics we have generally only indistinct in- 
 formation, and of the history of their origin and their inventors 
 scarcely any which is not either unintelligible or untrustworthy. 
 The region of myths is not j^et past, and there are frequent signs 
 on the one hand that the labours of many have been attributed 
 to one great name, on the other that what might seem a sub- 
 stantial and individual person is in reality only a reflexion 
 of the career and attributes of a prototype perhaps not wholly 
 real in his turn. 
 
 Those who were impelled to poetical expression at the be- 
 ginning of this period found ready to their hand in the Homeric 
 poems a store of characters and of legends ready cast by use and 
 tradition into an artistic form, a high standard of taste, models of 
 various and sustained eloquence, and perfected technicalities of 
 art. They found a language clear and even superfluously full, 
 made articulated and supple through the retention of free in- 
 flexions and by particles already finely discriminated to suit the

 quick changes of epic events, and in its very birth and mould 
 adapted to light metrical forms. The only drawback was that 
 but one metre was so far actually provided to their hand. From 
 the general use of the hexameter for oracles and in the older 
 inscriptions, and from the silence of Homer as to other metres, 
 it must be inferred that no other, or at least no other which 
 was well defined, was as yet in use. Tentatively at first, and 
 but slowly changing from this old simple verse, they proceeded 
 to shape their new materials into the new forms of a less simple 
 and sensuous, but more passionate and varied poetry. The 
 later Greeks distinguished two chief periods in this advance, the 
 elegiac and iambic period and the lyric period ; and the second 
 they subdivided into lyric proper and choral : but all three 
 branches, if they did not originate at the same time, yet coexisted 
 throughout their later growth, and were cultivated with more or 
 less impartiality by the same poets. 
 
 There is no proof that the elegy was the first advance, but it 
 seems the most natural transition from the hexameter, the 
 change being no more than the omission of the last half of the 
 .third and sixth feet. But even this slight change produced 
 a fundamental difference. For the sustained continuity of the 
 hexameter there is substituted a series of short strophes or 
 stanzas which forbid a connected narrative, but invite short and 
 antithetic sentences complete in themselves and fitted to deal 
 with a limited subject. Compared with the hexameter, the 
 elegy is monotonous and less free and variable : compared with 
 the lyrical metres, it is again less variable and is also less 
 capable of adaption to a musical accompaniment ; but on the 
 other hand, within its own limits of form admits more freely than 
 they do the substitution of long syllables for short and short for 
 long, according as convenience or the nature of the subject may 
 require. For the credit of its invention there are four or five 
 claimants, between whom it is impossible to decide. But if 
 Callinus or Tyrtaeus anticipated Archilochus in its invention, to 
 Archilochus appears to remain at least the credit of having freed

 it from the epic diction with which it is encumbered in their martial 
 exhortations, and of having made it serviceable for subjects of 
 common life. It was used by all the lyrical poets after him, 
 generally for short compositions, which were often, but not 
 always, of a plaintive character. In particular it became from 
 its short and equable stanzas and antithetic character the usual 
 vehicle for pi)litical and moral sentiments in Solon and Theognis, 
 with other less-known poets called Gnomists, or writer of sen- 
 tences, whose verses may be regarded as the beginning of ethical 
 philosophy in Greece. 
 
 A much greater advance was made in the iambic and trochaic 
 metres, which from their treble or unequal {pmXaaioC) times are 
 better adapted than the equal dactylic flow of the hexameter or 
 the elegy for rapidity and vehemence. Of the two the trochaic 
 (or 'runner'), descending from long to short, is the more light 
 and rapid ; the iambic, rising from short to long, is more forcible, 
 and when constructed in lines of six feet combines the continuity 
 of the heroic measure with a simplicity which is suited to 
 common subjects. The invention, or at least the perfection, of both 
 is probably due to Archilochus. This extraordinary genius the 
 unanimous voice of antiquity pronounced to be on the whole the 
 equal of Homer, in force and feeling and variety his superior.' 
 Intense, passionate, individual, full of life and force, he influenced 
 literature as no other poet but Homer has done before or since. 
 Of four capital changes, each the source of many more in later 
 times, he must be considered to have been the author. Firstly, 
 he was the earliest to reduce to form, if not to invent, perhaps 
 the elegy and almost certainly the trimeter iambic, tetrameter 
 trochaic, the anapaestic, choriambic, and Ionic metres, the bases . 
 of all later developments. In some cases the foot may have 
 been earlier known, but it was he who defined the length of lines 
 and the laws of versification ; and the varied forms of lyric poetry 
 in a nearly perfect form seem to have been as spontaneous expres- 
 
 ^ Homer was thought superior in invention.

 sions of the moods of his mind as are particular musical tones of the 
 length and tension of a string. Secondly, he was the first, with 
 the partial exception of Hesiod and perhaps of Callinus and 
 Tyrtaeus, to clothe in poetry personal and contemporary instead 
 of legendar)- subjects. Thirdly, he first substituted common, terse 
 and simple diction, the parent of Ionic and Attic prose, for the 
 diffuse pomp of the Epic style. Lastly, it is not too much to say 
 that his habitual and unsparing vituperation of all men and human 
 things was the commencement of criticism and satire in Greece. 
 
 So far the lonians, always full of change, have taken the 
 lead in invention. But lyrics proper were perfected by other 
 races. Lyric poetry derives its name from its close association 
 with instrumental music. It is probaljle that whilst the narrative 
 parts of the Epic poems were in recitation accompanied, if accom- 
 panied at all, only by a continuous and monotonous strain, certain 
 passages of a livelier spirit were arranged to livelier music under 
 the names of Nomes or Arrangements. But so long as the lyre 
 possessed only four strings even these can hardly have been much 
 diversified. They became more various on the introduction of flutes 
 or clarionets (from their great compass called -irafjulmvot av\oi), and 
 still more when Terpander added three strings to the lyre. From 
 this time poetry and music become closely united, and strictly 
 lyrical poetry begins. From the first it was of two kinds. 
 
 One kind (the purely lyrical) consisted of a series of short and 
 similar stanzas or strophes made up of lines also more or less 
 similar in themselves, intended for recitation by an individual 
 with a musical accompaniment entirely subordinated to the 
 words. Such were the alcaic and sapphic stanzas, and others 
 • which are preserved only in Horace — measures adapted to express 
 short bursts of individual passion but too nionotonous in re- 
 petition for a long and continuous composition. They were 
 cultivated, after Archilochus, chiefly by the passionate and 
 impulsive Acolians of Lesbos and the neighbouring settlements, 
 and perfected by Alcaeus, Sappho, and the fervid Ionian 
 Anacreon, whose harp was of twenty strings — the poets of love

 and wine. After Anacreon this kind of poetry seems to have 
 declined before the choral forms and to have become confined to 
 scolia or drinking catches, such as the song of Harmodius and 
 Aristogeiton, extemporised or recited at banquets by various 
 guests in their turns as the myrtle-branch was handed from right 
 to left round the table. 
 
 In the other kind not only the music was relatively of more 
 importance, but there was a further accompaniment of dancing 
 which tended to become the dominant element of the whole, and 
 the words were sung not by one voice but by the whole chorus or 
 company of dancers. Hence this kind was known as choric or 
 dance-poetry. This also was perfected by the Aeolians, but ex- 
 clusively under Dorian patronage and in connection with Dorian 
 games and dances and the worship of the Dorian god Apollo 
 in the Peloponnese. It divided itself into several branches, 
 varying with the nature of the subjects and with the different 
 degrees of importance given to the words, the music, or the 
 dance. In the paean, or Apollo-song, the most elevated and 
 severe species, the poetry seems to have been dominant; as 
 was the dance in the hyporcheme, a less severe variety, in which 
 gestures and mimicry to a great extent superseded words. The 
 artistic combination of the dancing with the poetry is attributed 
 to Thaletas, and to Alcman, the Horace of Greece ; the in- 
 troduction of a trained professional chorus to Arion ; and the 
 perfection of a threefold arrangement in strophes, antistrophes, 
 and epodes — that is, long stanzas of continuous and complex 
 rhythm intended to be sung by the chorus advancing, corres- 
 ponding stanzas to be sung by the chorus retreating, and con- 
 cluding parts to be sung at rest — to Stesichorits : whence the 
 ' triad of Stesichorus ' came to signify the elements of a liberal 
 education. One peculiar form of choric ode is important both 
 from its estimation and culture in Dorian Greece and from its 
 connection with the Attic drama. Archilochus had composed 
 paeans to Dionysus, like the paeans of Apollo. To these Arion 
 gave the distinct form of the dithyramb or cyclic song of 
 
 L
 
 146 LYRIC 
 
 Dionj'sus, sung by a chorus of satyrs in circular dance round his 
 altar with a poetical monologue or dialogue embodying some ad- 
 venture of the god : and Lasus of Hermione (Pindar's master) 
 freed them from the trammels of antistrophic arrangement. In 
 character these dithyrambs were turbulent and enthusiastic. They 
 seem in earlier times to have been commonly composed in the 
 trochaic tetrameter. In subject the choral poems generally were 
 for the most part grave and treated of legendary subjects and the 
 adventures of the gods. In the hands of Stesichorus they even 
 became epic in character, like passages of Homer rewritten in 
 lyric diction and form. 
 
 After the time of Stesichorus Sparta ceased to take the lead, 
 the Pythian games became a national school of music and 
 poetry, and 13'rical composition from the middle of the sixth 
 century to the time when it becomes merged in the Attic drama 
 is of no particular tribe or place in Greece, although, in that 
 choral species which Sparta perfected, it retained throughout its 
 career of increasing splendour the Dorian impress in form and 
 dialect. 
 
 It is not known that Simonides or Bacchylides made any inno- 
 vations in the form or scope of lyrical poetry. Their fragments 
 show an advance in elaboration and sweetness of expression, but 
 they founded no school or style, and Pindar reads them many 
 sententious lessons on their acquiescence in unworthy traditions, 
 and their reliance upon art rather than upon inborn force and 
 truth. Even Pindar's own innovations were rather in spirit than 
 in form. It was by the example of his elevation in 'thought and 
 tone that he founded a scliool which has lasted into modern 
 times. There is in his triumphal odes no passion, no creation of 
 character or incident, scarcely any construction or subordination 
 of personages, situations, or times, conducing to the vivid pre- 
 sentation of ideas or sentiments. In all, the motive, and to a 
 great extent the treatment, is the same. A Greek has been 
 victor in one of the great national games at a time when the 
 games were the principal expression of Greek nationality, and
 
 POETS. 147 
 
 had more glory to give than even poetry, politics, or war, and his 
 victory had to receive that poetical celebration without which no 
 success was complete. Pindar uses the opportunity to bring out 
 the heroic and ideal side of life. The victory is regarded as the 
 crown of the victor's existence, the blossom of the perfection of 
 his house, the complement and result of personal worth, family 
 greatness, and ancestral connection with gods and heroes, some- 
 thing which gives a largeness and greatness to the present akin to 
 those of the past. It is not in novelty of form, or variety of 
 idea or illustration, but in the sustained elevation of thought and 
 style with which from this point of view human life is regarded, 
 that Pindar's originality appears. 
 
 Of the relations between music and poetry in the lyrical age 
 we know little more than that the ancients considered different 
 modes, and even different genera of music, and to some extent 
 different instruments, to have been naturally appropriate to 
 different kinds of subjects and to have possessed in themselves 
 distinct moral and emotional properties ; and that, of the two, 
 the music was generally subservient. Whether there was the 
 same appropriation of music to metre as of music to subject is 
 more doubtful, though it is often affirmed and though the same 
 persons are constantly treated as the inventors of corresponding 
 musical and metrical forms. What is more certain is that music 
 and poetry generally were not till a late period commonly 
 separated in use. The same general name of Music and the 
 same technical terms belong to both in common ; and the lyre 
 was as much the Muses' as Apollo's, and even when used to lead 
 the dance was associated with song. It was not till poetry in its 
 iambic form in the drama had discarded music that music in 
 return set up for itself and became a separate branch of art, 
 though the origin of the separation may be dated back to that 
 introduction of the flute which first necessitated a division of the 
 musician from the singer. Beautiful as the remains of the Greek 
 lyrical poetry still are, they must yet necessarily have lost much 
 of their original beauty with the loss of the musical commentaries

 so delicately adjusted to the idea and to the rhythm. To us they 
 come as comparatively cold and bare without their interpreting 
 and guiding music, as Greek architecture without its colour. 
 
 There may not be much reason to regret the fate which has 
 left only the Iliad and the Odyssey to represent the cycle of 
 Greek epics ; but it is otherwise with the loss of the lyrical 
 writers. For more than a century and a half of the most stirring 
 times of Greek history, an unbroken succession of poets did not 
 cease to produce poems for the chief relations of public and 
 private life in their perpetual repetition through successive 
 generations, for national games and local festivals from year to 
 year, for banquets and dances, marriages and funerals, from day 
 to day, and to many of these the consent of antiquity gave high, 
 to some the very highest praise. Yet of all these scarcely one 
 remains to us entire, with tlie exception of forty-four odes of 
 Pindar, all of one kind. Of other lyrical poets perhaps six 
 thousand lines, or fragments of lines, remain, many of them pre- 
 served less for their beauty than for their religious or critical or 
 grammatical interest. But such as they are, they are yet our 
 best records of the opinions and tone of thought of the Greeks 
 of that age. The poets were the great instructors of Greece, 
 and even their fragments reflect better than late historians the 
 manners and mind of their time.

 past I waste no prayer. Ino and Semele it sufficed — suffice it 
 for the present, that tears which cannot be unwept are dried 
 in joy, joy which may again for a season give place to evil, as

 in Thersander, as it returns in Thero to-day, crowning his 
 cares with the triumph which asks our song.

 DRAMATIC POETS. 
 
 Even after Homer, and Archilochus, and Pindar, there was 
 something wanting to poetical maturity in Greece. The poetry 
 of vivid but unreflecting narrative and the poetry of individual 
 passion had been perfected, but it still remained to add to events 
 and sentiment the substance of ideas produced by analysis of life 
 and its motives, and to recombine the whole into dramatic 
 action, framed to exhibit in a subtle form * philosophy teaching 
 by example.' 
 
 The elements of that drama which supplied the want can be 
 readily traced. Homeric legend provided an inexhaustible variety 
 of elevated personages and tragic events. The iambists and 
 lyrists had brought language and metre into a shape well 
 adapted for simple yet poetical expression of common subjects. 
 A mimetic element had been long growing up in the dithyrambic 
 and phallic festivities of Dorian Greece, and perhaps still more in 
 the recitations of those Homeric rhapsodists, who, as appears 
 from the Ion of Plato, must have been in a manner actors as well 
 as reciters, embodying in their own persons the characters whose 
 deeds they recounted. Lastly, before the time of Aeschylus 
 Ionian philosophy had arisen in Greece with its free, subtle and 
 profound speculations on nature, on causes and on thought. 
 But the stages of advance in the combination of these elements 
 into a harmonious form of composition are very obscure. 
 Aristotle tells us merely that tragedy originated with the sallies 
 of the leaders of dithyrambs, and comedy with those of the 
 phallic dancers ; that Aeschylus added a second personage or 
 
 R

 actor, and subordinated the choric to the iambic or conversa- 
 tional part ; and that Sophocles introduced a third actor and 
 painted scenery. But whatever was the order of the improve- 
 ments, all of them were made by Athenian poets. The period of 
 the glory of the drama extends from about 480 to about 300 B. c. ; 
 for the first sixty of which years tragedy held the first place, for 
 the rest comedy. In both, Athens which had hardly appeared in 
 the first two periods, stood not merely first, but alone. 
 
 Throughout the tragic period new plays were perpetually 
 exhibited at Athens from year to year in unceasing succession and 
 ever new variety. At every exhibition each contending poet 
 brought into the field at least three new tragedies, followed by 
 a satyric play (the link between the dithyrambs of the preceding 
 and the comedies of the following age) : and the same poets 
 contended generally every other, sometimes every, year. Aeschylus 
 is said to have produced seventy tragedies, besides satyric after- 
 pieces, Sophocles and Euripides a hundred and thirteen and 
 ninety-two plays, respectively ; and there were many other poets, 
 in some cases equally or even more fertile, and who, though 
 agreed to have been on the whole inferior to the three, were not 
 seldom victorious over them on particular occasions. Of all 
 these there remain to us only seven plays of Aeschylus, seven 
 of Sophocles, and nineteen of Euripides : but of this number 
 several are acknowledged master-pieces, and collectively they 
 enable us to trace the course of the successive changes of spirit 
 and form in which tragedy reflected the changes of philosophy 
 and society. ' Though the subjects (says Mr. Grote ^), persons, 
 and events of tragedy always continued to be borrowed from the 
 legendary world, and were thus kept above the level of con- 
 temporaneous life — yet the dramatic manner of handling them is 
 sensibly modified, even in Sophokles as compared with Aeschylus — 
 and still more in Euripides, by the atmosphere of democracy, 
 political and judicial contention, and philosophy, encompassing 
 and acting on the poet. 
 
 ' History of Greece, vii. p. 441.
 
 DRAMATIC POETS. 243 
 
 'In Aeschylus, the ideality belongs to the handling not less 
 than to the subjects : the passions apj^ealed to are the masculine 
 and violent, to the exclusion of Aphrodite and her inspirations : 
 the figures are vast and majestic, but exhibited only in half-light 
 and in shadowy outline : the speech is replete with bold metaphor 
 and abrupt transition, — " grandiloquent even to a fault " (as Quin- 
 tilian remarks), and often approaching nearer to Oriental vague- 
 ness than to Grecian perspicuity. In Sophokles there is evidently 
 a closer approach to reality and common life : the range of 
 emotions is more varied, the figures are more distinctly seen, and 
 the action more fully and conspicuously worked out. Not only 
 we have a more elaborate dramatic structure, but a more 
 expanded dialogue, and a comparative simplicity of speech like 
 that of living Greeks : and we find too a certain admixture 
 of rhetorical declamation, amidst the greatest poetical beauty 
 which the Grecian drama ever attained. But when we advance 
 to Euripides, this rhetorical element becomes still more pro- 
 minent and developed. The ultra-natural sublimity of the 
 legendary characters disappears : love and compassion are in- 
 voked to a degree which Aeschylus would have deemed incon- 
 sistent with the dignity of the heroic person : moreover, there 
 are appeals to the reason, and argumentative controversies, which 
 that grandiloquent poet would have despised as petty and forensic 
 cavils. And — what was worse still, judging from the Aeschylean 
 point of view — there was a certain novelty of speculation, an 
 intimation of doubt on reigning opinions, and an air of scientific 
 refinement, often spoiling the poetical effect.' 
 
 After Euripides there is no doubt that tragedy declined, 
 lophon the son of Sophocles was alone regarded by Aristophanes 
 as a possible successor to the tragic throne, and the Frogs 
 represents the descent of Dionysus to Hades in quest of his 
 lost Euripides, whose place there was none left on earth to 
 supply, 
 
 Comedy, Aristotle says, is even more obscure in its origin than 
 tragedy. It was long of l^ss account, and could not claim that 
 public patronage which enabled the tragic poets to command

 every requisite accompaniment of music and dancing and scenery 
 at the cost of the wealthiest citizens, rivals in the splendour 
 of those appointments which in a wealthy but republican city 
 were the chief opportunities for public display of riches and 
 magnificence. At first, adhering closely to the traditions of 
 its origin, it seems to have been a mere apotheosis of slander, and 
 of the poets of this stage not enough remains to show whether 
 their scurrility was set off by poetical merit. In Aristophanes, 
 the Archilochus of the drama, it appears perfected in form : it has 
 already lost much of its coarseness : and (if Aristophanes speaks 
 truly of his predecessors) it has gained proportionately in wit. 
 After him, it gradually became less and less bold, and losing 
 at once much of its poetry with tlie loss of the chorus, and much 
 of its freedom and range with the substitution of conventional for 
 real characters, declined into the more prosaic comedy of manners. 
 Yet for a time the decline was merely comparative. The question 
 of the Alexandrian Aristophanes, 'O Menander, O life, of you 
 two which was the plagiarist ? ' seems to be justified by the few 
 fragments which remain, and by what is preserved in the ad- 
 aptations of Plautus and Terence. The fragments of Alexis are 
 even more remarkable than those of Menander, and in both 
 humour is mingled with an elevation of thought which is perhaps 
 less apparent in Aristophanes. 
 
 Throughout the great age of tragedy the poets were more than 
 ever the instructors of Greece. It was not only that in conjunction 
 with the Sophists and the dicasteries they both filtered and 
 enriched the language for the use of Plato and Aristotle, but they 
 were a perpetual education in taste, and the medium through 
 which the spirit and some of the results of the newly bom 
 political and ethical philosophy were adapted to the com- 
 prehension and diffused over the mass of the people. This was 
 much less the case with comedy. Already in the time of 
 Aristophanes the function of instructors had been transferred 
 partly to the historians and orators, partly to the philosophers; 
 and philosophy and oratory thencefoward attracted all the most 
 powerful minds, and imparted to prose the art and poetical feel-

 ing which had formerly found no exercise or expression but in 
 verse. 
 
 There are two principal differences between our drama and that 
 of Greece. Firstly, notwithstanding its name, Greek dramatic 
 poetry had little to do with represented action. From the time 
 of its origin in the monologue of the leader of a dithyrambic 
 chorus, who expressed by his gestures the passion of the god. 
 arising out of the adventures recited, but not the adventures 
 themselves, it continued to address itself not to the represen- 
 tation of actions, which it sometimes recites, sometimes merely 
 presumes, but to the presentation of a passion or effect of the 
 events or actions on character, especially on the character of the 
 one person who is the protagonist of the play, and permitted 
 itself no more of action and incident than sufficed to introduce 
 the expression of that mental movement. The rule of Horace 
 that Medea must not kill her children or Atreus dress human 
 flesh or Procne or Cadmus undergo transformation on the stage, 
 is only a particular instance of a much more general principle of 
 Greek dramatic art. 
 
 Secondly, action was the less necessary because the interest of 
 the play was not that of the evolution of a new plot, but that of 
 the good treatment of an old one. There are very few excep- 
 tions to the rule that the subjects (in the case of tragedy) were 
 familiar legends taken from the well-known heroic past, and those 
 exceptions were regarded as singular by the Greeks themselves. 
 Two plays of Phrynichus, the Taking of Miletus and the 
 Phoenissae, and the Persians of Aeschylus, are the only known 
 instances in the older tragedy. Early in the fourth century B.C., 
 Agathon produced a piece called the ' Flower,' the plot and the 
 characters of which were of his own invention, and which was 
 thought remarkable on this account even by Aristotle, writing 
 near the close of the fourth century B.C. It seems as if the 
 Greeks preferred subjects already familiar, and cast by long 
 tradition into an artistic form. They allowed and liked such 
 variations as those which the same legend shows in the different 
 treatment of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides ; but they must

 be no more than variations on the old and familiar air and not 
 new and strange inventions. 
 
 With such traditional plots and characters but little represen- 
 tation of action was necessary for the effect at which the Greek 
 tragedians aimed, and that little was made as formal as possible. 
 There were numerous conventionalities and technical rules which 
 were perfectly understood by the bulk of the spectators, and 
 which at once led their minds to understand or even anticipate 
 the poet's meaning and purpose. Not only they knew the 
 sources from which he had taken his plot, and the names and 
 bases of his characters ', and had by heart the national epics and 
 popular lyrics, reminiscences and even adroitly-inserted quo- 
 tations from which were to them a great part of the pleasure of 
 the new play : but they were able to recognise from the fixed 
 masks of the characters the emotion which was to be dominant 
 in them during the scene ; and they were further helped to rise 
 to the ideal elevation proper to the subject and the thought by 
 the set emphasis, the utterance made sonorous by mechanical 
 means, the long brilliant Bacchic robes, raised stature and tragic 
 step of the actors. If a player came on at this place and time 
 they knew that he was the leading character, and whence he had

 added to the action ; if on the other, the announcement was to 
 be of some passed crisis in the fortunes or of some effect already 
 produced on the mind of the character whose sufferings were in 
 progress : and at each pause the chorus came forward to explain 
 to them the sentiment of the passed scene and to prepare them 
 for the next, marking the successive stages by which the final 
 climax of passion was being attained.

 Dicaeopolis being in danger of his life from the chorus of 
 Acharnian old men, who are angry at his having made a private 
 peace with the Lacedaemonians, goes to Euripides to obtain the 
 dress of a suppliant, and delivers himself of a speech over the 
 block.

 Us, too, Leonidas was leading like the boars the tusk well 
 whetting, fast about the jaws the froth forth-flowing, free 
 adown the legs the froth down-pouring; for many as the 
 sands were they, the Persians. 
 
 Artemis of the wild wood, mighty in the chase, come to us, 
 maiden divine : come to our reconciling, fast bind us for long. 
 Henceforth peace with plenty follow ever on our agreeing ; 
 from the fox-wiles of our cunning stay we our hands. Hither, 
 come hither, O huntress maiden, come ! 
 
 Athenian maidens. Hither with dances, follow with graces, 
 Artemis bid to our festival : bid here her twin brother, leader

 the fire of his lightning : bid his spouse august and blest : 
 and last bid all the gods : all shall be witnesses sure to the

 Up and away ! in the lightfooted dance away ! and the 
 while of Sparta be our song, land of dancings to gods and 
 ])atter of feet, where like colts by the river the maidens' quick 
 feet unrestingly ply, their tresses streaming like tresses of 
 Maenads waving the ivy-wand hurrying the dance ; while 
 before them moves Leda's maid, choir-leader pure and fair. 
 
 Come ! with your hands ])ut back your tresses from your 
 brows : with your feet leap like the roe : and now for the 
 clapping that quickens the dance : and still of the goddess the 
 queen of goddesses be your song, of her of the brazen house, 
 of her who is invincible.

 V. 
 
 ALEXANDRIAN POETS 
 
 AND 
 
 EPIGRAMS. 
 
 With the perfection of the drama the original growth of Greek 
 poetry seems complete; and so far as Greece proper is concerned, 
 a time has been reached, after which imitation and adaptation 
 succeed to invention. But on the other side of the Mediterranean, 
 in Alexandria, poetiy found a latter summer. The poems of 
 Theocritus and his fellows are of no sort of interest in the history 
 of Greece, yet in themselves some of them are perfect in their 
 kinds. There is not much Greek which is so expressive, perhaps 
 none which within a certain range of ideas is so fully and ac- 
 curately expressive, as that of Theocritus. The scents and 
 sounds of nature, the physical signs of love, are present in no 
 faint image ; he is pathetic and dramatic ; and the richness and 
 sweetness of his diction and versification do not leave the reader 
 master of himself. But im.perceptibly the spirit of the poetry 
 has changed. Artificial scenes and artificial griefs, personages 
 and events ideal indeed but idealised from the commonest, not 
 from the noblest forms of humanity, and a certain want of sim- 
 plicity both in characters and in sentiments, mark a declension 
 from Athenian art. 
 
 Of ApoUonius of Rhodes, Lycophron, and other less known 
 writers, men of letters rather than poets, little has been preserved 
 which seems very good to a modern taste. For the most part 
 they are mere imitators, destitute of art to construct and to sub-
 
 444 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 ordinate the less to the more important in poetical perspective, 
 rhetorical in expression, and overloaded with epithets conveying 
 antiquarian or mythological allusions which take the place of 
 original images and thoughts. 
 
 Rome and Byzantium succeeded to the position of Alexandria 
 as the metropolis of letters, but neither produced any new birth 
 of Greek poetry. With the exception of Musaeus (a. d. 550?), 
 whose Hero and Leander in simplicity and pathos is in some parts 
 almost worthy of Theocritus, and with whom the canon of ancient 
 Greek poetry may be considered to be closed, their poetical writers 
 in the language of Homer and Sophocles are but imitators of 
 Alexandrian imitations. By the twelfth century even the ancient 
 metres had perished and had given place to ' political verses ' 
 distinguished from common prose only by division into lines of 
 equal numbers of syllables. 
 
 The epigrams collected by the Alexandrian and Byzantine 
 anthologists range over more than ten centuries from the beginning 
 of the sixth B. c. In this alone of all the branches of poetical writing 
 the example of ancient taste continued to be followed down to late 
 times, and many of the compositions in this kind of the Alexan- 
 drian and even of the Byzantine period, though not equal to those 
 of Simonides or Plato, are yet worthy in simplicity of manner and 
 purity of style of the best ages of Greece.

 Page 7. [Iliad III. 130-244.] 
 
 The scene as the poet conceived it seems to be this : — The 
 ships of the Greeks lie drawn up in a long row on the sea 
 shore. Troy stands three or four mOes inland on a low terrace 
 of Ida, defended by walls and towers at intervals, and with a 
 small isolated hill-citadel or Pergamus, rising immediately 
 behind, and mount Ida in the rear of all. From the ships up 
 to the town an open plain rises gradually, broken by a few 
 sepulchral mounds, by the fountains from which Scamander 
 flows off to the right to be joined by Simois, and by a beech- 
 tree and a small hillock in front of the Scaean gate, which is in 
 the middle of the wall directly facing the ships. From this 
 gate the Trojans have issued and are ranged near the hillock, 
 separated from the Greeks by the narrow space cleared for the 
 combat between Paris and Menelaus. Priam and his coun- 
 cillors and the two elders of the people are seated on the gate, 
 from whence they look over the armies towards the coast and 
 the line of ships below.

 The meaning is as follows. — The spirit of infatuation, or Ate

 the injurer (Agamemnon) fullow after her : — they are repre- 
 sented as halting, wrinkled, blinking, while she is strong and 
 vigorous, bounding forwards in the work of evil. If the prayers 
 prevail and the injured person relents and forgives, they re- 
 compense his mercifulness by granting his own prayer in his 
 own time of need ; but if he is obdurate and refuses to grant 
 the mercy which they ask, then they move Zeus to send on 
 him the spirit of infatuation and mischief in order to draw him 
 into the evil which is to be the punishment of his unmerciful- 
 ness.

 Lines 1-12. lit., But from them — thick as may fall snow-flakes 
 in a wintry day when all-wise Zeus is arisen to snow, shewing 
 forth to men his shafts, and hushing the winds, showers cease- 
 lessly until he covers the tall mountain-peaks and high fore- 
 lands, (then) the blooming plains and fat tillage of men (below), 
 and last they overspread bay-line and beach of the hoary sea — 
 the flow of its tide their bound — and all else envelope fold on 
 old as Zeus' storm falls heavily — so thick from each side at the 
 other flew the stones, from Greek at Trojan, from Trojan at 
 Greek, as they hurled, and loud over all that rampart rose the 
 din.

 Give orders to slaves with a due regard to days as fixed bj' 
 Zeus ; the 30th day is the best for reviewing work done, and 
 making provision (dividing stores). 
 
 The true order of days is as follows : The first (?), 4th and 
 7th are sacred: the 8th and 9th in the waxing month are 
 excellent for work; the nth and 12th are good for shearing

 and har\'est, but the 12th is better than the irth; then the 
 spider begins her web in the long summer days (?), and the 
 ant collects her store. That is the day for a woman to set 
 a loom, and plan a piece of work. The 15th in the waxing 
 month is not good for sowing, though it is good for planting. 
 
 The middle sixth (i.e. the sixth in the second decade = the 
 i6th) is bad for planting but good for male offspring— it is 
 bad for girls both in birth and marriage (even the first sixth 
 is not good for girls though good for some herdman's workj. 
 The i6th is also good for marriage, a man born on that 
 day will be clever with his tongue. The 8th and 12th are 
 good for some herdman's work ; the 20th in the long days is 
 the day for a genius to be born on : the loth is also good for 
 male children ; the middle 4th (the 14th) for girls. This day is 
 good also for taming cattle. Let it not be a day of evileboding ; 
 for it brings all to pass. The 4th is a day for marriage, if the 
 omens are favourable ; the 5ths are bad : the middle 7th (17th'), 
 is a good day for threshing and woodcutting. The 4th is good 
 for laying a keel; the middle 9th (19th) improves towards 
 evening. The first 9th is good in every way, for planting and 
 for births male and female : nothing goes wrong on that day. 
 Few know that the 'thrice ninth' i27th or 29th) is good for 
 broaching a cask, putting the yoke on oxen, mules and horses: 
 and for launching a ship. On the 4th open a wine jar. The 
 middle 4th (14th) is sacred above all. Few know that the 24th 
 day is excellent in the morning, but worse towards evening. 
 These are the good days : the rest are insignificant. 
 
 Two calendars seem to be combined : we begin with a 
 division of the month into two halves : and go on with a 
 division into three decades. See the Scholia printed in Gais- 
 ford's Poetae Minorcs, Vol. III. p. 341 ff.

 p. 23 sqq. The papyrus upon which they are written was dis- 
 covered by Marictte in 1855, in an Egyptian tomb not far 
 from the second Pyramid. There is much that is uncertain 
 and conjectural in the poem as here presented, but it is clearly 
 a fragment of one of those Parthenia for which Alcman ■was 
 famous. The themes of his praise are Agido and Hagesichora. 
 
 The text is that given by Blass in Hermes, xiii. 15 ff., xiv. 
 The general sense seems to be — 
 
 First stanza : Praise of Agido, There is a vengeance that 
 Cometh from the gods. Blest is he, who blithely weaves the 
 day's thread, free from sorrow. I singofAgido's bright beauty, 
 which is as the sunshine. But the far-famed leader of the 
 dance (Agido) suffers me neither to praise or blame her. 
 Preeminent among the rest is she, as a winning horse amid 
 the humbler kine, a horse such as one sees in winged dreams. 
 
 Second stanza : Praise of Hagesichora. See, it is a Venetian 
 horse ; and like pure gold shines the hair of my cousin Hage- 
 sichora : how can I tell all the loveliness of her fair face. That 
 is Hagesichora ! After Agido she will ever follow next as the 
 horse courses after the hound. When we bear the robe to 
 Artemis the Pleiads rising aloft, a hunter's star, through the 
 night divine, contend with us 'in beauty). 
 
 Third stanza : Hagesichora is onr glory and protection ; we 
 have no omarnents, no companions that can help save her. There 
 is no wealth of purple that can aid us, nor any glittering golden 
 serpent fi.c. bracelet"", nor the Lydian snood, the soft adornment 
 of the brows of maidens. No nor can Nanno's hair help, nor 
 Erata, nor Sylacis, nor Cleesithera ; nor will ye hasten to the 
 dwelling of Acnesimbrota and say : O that Astaphis were 
 mine, that Philylla would speak to me, or Damaepa, or lovely 
 lanthemis. Hagesichora is our guardian. 
 
 Fourth stanza : We shall win. Is not Hagesichora of the 
 fair feet beside her (Agido \ While she remains with Agido, 
 she commends the feast and me (?). Ye gods receive our 
 prayers ; then is the end lightly gained : and I will speak as

 an old crone might speak. ' " Thy singing as a maiden was 
 nought, the crying of an owl." Next to the grace of the 
 goddess who has put an end to our trouble, it is the beauty of 
 Hagesichora whereby the maidens gain praise.'

 Page 184. [Stesichorus iii.] 
 
 This fragment is the commencement and only remains of one 
 of the most celebrated lyrics of antiquity, the Palinodia, in which 
 Stesichorus recanted an ode in which he had attributed to Helen 
 all the sufferings of the Greeks in the war of Troy, and for 
 which he had been visited with the wrath of Aphrodite. The 
 idea of the Palinodia seems to have been that the real Helen 
 never left Greece, and that it was a mere phantom which fled 
 with Paris and caused the war. Col. Mure observes that the 
 title of this poem is probably the origin of the expression ' to 
 recant.' 
 
 Page 221. [Pindar, Olymp. I. 28-35.] 
 
 The legend ran that Tantalus boiled and served to his divine 
 guests his son Pelops. Pindar prefers to account for Pelops' 
 disappearance in another way, and in these lines justifies the 
 innovation. The general sense is — Poetry has made current 
 strange fictions of the gods and heroes ; it is for time to judge 
 between the false and the true ; but in the meantime let us 
 accept the worthier belief. Translate — Truly many things are 
 wonderful ; and it may be that sometimes the bright web of 
 legend figured in colours of falsehood beguiles mortals into 
 reports wide of the truth ; and the Grace of whose giving is 
 every charm of our life by her authority has oftentimes made

 credible even what is incredible. But the clearest judgment is 
 that of the afterdays, and meanwhile for a man it is fitting to 
 think nobly of the gods, for so the blame is less.

 In this first stasimon the chorus of elders ignorant as yet of 
 the news of victory, but wondering at the flames which rise 
 from the altars and at Clytemnestra's agitated approach, sings 
 in a mixed strain of history and prophecy the sacrifice of 
 Iphigenia. 
 
 Lines 1-7. Zeus ! whoever he is, if that name is pleasing to 
 him, by that I call on him. Though I weigh every name I can 
 think of no name in comparison save that of Zeus which will 
 enable me truly to cast from my thoughts the undefined burden 
 of sorrow. 
 
 8-13. Neither Uranus nor Cronos but Zeus only can help.

 13. The emphasis is on ZTJi/ain contrast with his predecessors 
 —But Zeus if one hymns with good heart in song of victory, he 
 shall attain all wisdom. 
 
 9. 
 Page 265. [Aeschylus, Agam. 404-474.] 
 The apprehended Nemesis of Iphigenia's sacrifice was the 
 subject of the first stasimon. This, the second, speaks in a 
 still more uneasy and apprehensive tone of the great example 
 of an accomplished Nemesis in the results to Troy of Helen's 
 flight, and finds in the death of countless Greeks for the honour 
 of the Atreidae a new and less obscure suggestion of evil 
 av/aiting Agamemnon.

 proaching, hardly believing that he sees that she is gone from

 cLKpeififuav iSwv — 'He is present (i.e. at tlie bed) in silence, 
 dishonoured, yet without reproaching her, perceiving with 
 deepest pain (?) that she is gone.' These and other correc- 
 tions are adapted to the metre of the passage, which is not the 
 case with the MS. reading in the text. But whatever the 
 original may have been it probably did not differ much in 
 meaning from that reading. If that is in substance correct 
 there is evidently an antithesis not only between artfios and 
 akoiSopos, but also between the two lines as wholes, one (v. 9) 
 referring to the unreality of the vision in the matter of voice 
 and presence, the other (v. 10) to its apparent reality to the 
 sight. This is the more probable since the rest of the song of 
 the Trpo(j>rJTai seems to go on to make a similar antithesis be- 
 tween presence to the eye and actual unreality, in three other 
 forms (w. 11-21). If this is so, the general meaning of the 
 whole passage (9-21) is — We see her with joy, but it is a mere 
 vision, without voice to speak or hearing to listen to us (9-12) : 
 her husband sees her form in her statues, but they are an un- 
 satisfying cheat (13-15) : in dreams again he sees her, but that 
 also is an unsubstantial phantom of his sleep : — and the exact 
 meaning of 9-10 may be that she is still present to them 
 visually, but in such a manner that she cannot speak to them 
 {ffiyaff') nor can they speak to her either that she may be 
 honoured {drifios) or blamed {a\oldopos), but still very dear to 
 the sight since they have lost her. In this MS. reading 
 acpe/xevuv must be a genitive absolute, but cKpe/uLevov in Hesy- 
 chius (in Paley) seems to point to acpefiei/ovs or a(pe/j.eyois — dear 
 for those to see who have lost her. But if this is the true 
 interpretation, and if aiyacr', irifios, aXoidopos and aStffTos, are

 divides itself into five parts, of which the last four are given in the 
 text. In the first or preliminary part Cassandra has but begun to 
 be moved by the trouble of Apollo's inspiration, and as yet sees 
 only vague prophetic shapes without connection or consistency ; 
 a wailing child, a lifted arm, a falling victim. In the other four, 
 propnetic paroxj'sms successively increasing in strength and 
 lighting up horrors ever more and more closely imminent are 
 alternated with inter\'als of calm in which Cassandra mournfully 
 expostulates with the elders of the chorus because through 
 the still continuing curse of Phoebus they refuse to believe her 
 warnings. 
 
 Lines 1-20 of the extract (/cal \j.)]v xpvcf^i>s k.t.A.) are the first 
 clear vision, that of Erinyes revelling in the palace ; and are 
 follo\ved by a rest in which Cassandra vainly brings evidences 
 of her truthfulness (21-36). Lines 37-64 {lob iov, — vir' av fie 
 K.T.K.) are the second clear vision, of as it were children carrying 
 their own entrails. Here the children are the children of 
 Thyestes whose murder and mutilation by their uncle Atreus 
 were the beginning of the whole chain of Ate {irptiiTapxov &Trii'). 
 Again a pause follows (65 -79), and Cassandra renews her appeals 
 more impatiently than before. Thirdly, in lines 79-117 (TraTraT, 
 oTov rh irvp K.r.K.) there is borne upon Cassandra in perfect 
 clearness the vision of her own death and the resumption of her 
 prophetic office by Phoebus ; and in the following interval (118- 
 129), her curse being gone with her inspiration, the elders begin 
 to understand and tremble. Lastly, a final flash of prophecy 
 shews her that the end is come ; she starts as if struck (130) ; 
 and while the chorus moralises, Agamemnon's death-cry is 
 heard (v. 1343 of the play).
 
 SELECTED NOTES. 503 
 
 It is remarkable how much of the choric parts in this scene 
 is made up of interrogations and exclamations. Cassandra and 
 the elders feel themselves almost passively under the influence 
 of ominous events. They are played on by the god without 
 their will and almost without their understanding ; and they 
 speak with double meanings, obscure even to themselves till the 
 event is come. 
 
 92-99. And lo ! where Apollo comes himself to strip from 
 me my prophet's garb — Thou, whose livery I fling away, didst 
 even while I wore it look on when I was scorned and set at 
 nought (fj.a.TT}v) among my friends, by enemies in one consent (or 
 reading jue'ya for fiera. — when I was mightily scorned by my 
 friends who were but enemies). I was named with the 
 wretches who starve from door to door, and he left me to bear 
 it all. And now see me, the prophet, that prophet's handiwork ; 
 —see whither he has brought me, even to this pass where I 
 must die, where for espousals there await me the shambles, the 
 blow, the hot blood, and the sacrificial death, fiatfiov irarpc^ov 
 probably refers to the ceremony called irpoyaixita, a part of which 
 was a sacrifice off"ered by the father of the intended bride at the 
 altar of the family, irpoff^ayfxari, not a victim, but the act of 
 slaughter, as in Eur. Troades 624. 
 
 146-153. lit. — To the sun I pray, to this his last light, for 
 my avengers, that they may repay both my hated murderers 
 alike for the poor slave's death, their easy prey. Alas for man's 
 state ! Growing prosperous, it is likened to an outline, whose 
 figure when adversity comes the touch of a wet sponge wipes 
 out ; and the last state is far more pitiable than the first. 
 
 That such is the meaning of v. 153 seems to follow from the 
 answer of the chorus — ' Yes : why are men so eager for 
 greatness ? It were better not to rise than to risk such fall.' 
 But it may mean— and this I pity more than mj' own case. 
 
 Here Cassandra rushes into the palace to die.

 Line 87. ^iroA/fes Cpotre" is corrupt. But understanding some 
 such nominative as iKir\s the sense seems to be — One moment 
 I despair and my heart is overclouded at the words I hear ; but 
 when again * -x- * * * , then hope dispels the cloud of 
 grief and lights up a fair prospect before me. 
 
 90-94. tI — ^ is for tI &\\o ^ — And for such hope what claim 
 could we have so strong to bring forward as the actual wrongs 
 which we suffer? If she try to fawn on us, those wrongs will 
 reject her fawning, for like as the fierce heart of a wolf so the 
 heart which I inherit is not to be appeased.— At this point the 
 mourners give over lamentation and prayer, and nerve their 
 hearts to action by remembrance of Clytemnestra's cruelties. 
 
 95-100. At his funeral I struck myself for mourning like a 
 Persian or a Cissian mourner, and ceaselessly recklessly fell 
 thick the blows of my hand, now on my head, now downwards, till 
 my bruised and aching head was stunned with shocks. eTrippode? 
 is the historical present for the past tense. That it is the Ko/xfihs 
 at Agamemnon's funeral and not one now proceeding which is 
 described seems to be proved by ^j/. The force of the passage 
 is that the chorus is stimulating Orestes to vengeance by recalling 
 the sorrows of that time, as Electra afterwards recalls its 
 indignities.

 Orestes had taken sanctuary at Delphi and there and in his 
 wanderings over the earth had been purified from the mere stain 
 of blood-guiltiness. But as the Ate of matricide was still 
 unsatisfied, the Erinj'cs demanded him from Apollo. Whilst 
 they slept he fled by the god's counsel to Athene's city, and 
 taking refuge at her altar prays for complete purgation by trial.

 Lines 20-25. These lines, which are the burden of the hymn, 
 refer to the incantation called Ko-ra^idis or KaTaSecrfMos, which 
 was properly applied to the binding of gods or demons so as to 
 prevent, as c'n-ayccY^ to the summoning of them so as to 
 accomplish, a particular event. Hence it is applied to any 
 magical binding. In v. 20 the force of t^? Tedvfxevcp is general — 
 the victim, such a victim as Orestes shall soon be. With e| 
 'Epivvwv must be understood vfivuTai, and the emphasis being on 
 TO) Tiduufvcji the meaning of the whole is— Over such victims is 
 sung by us Erinyes this strain which maddens, distorts, njins and 
 binds the mind, ill music, a blight on men. a<p6pfiiKTos — music 
 of the av\hs alone without the (pSpfiiy^, there being an allusion 
 not only to the different character of their music but to the 
 connection of the <p6pfjiiy^ with Apollo, the Erinyes' enemy in 
 the play. 
 
 48-58. In this passage the sequence is interrupted after the 
 third line by three lines (Zeus — d7r7j|ico(raTo) which are par- 
 enthetical, and is resumed in v. 54 by the repetition of another 
 nominative (aAo^eVa) (of the singular number instead of the 
 plural (nriv^6fxivai of v. 34) with the resumptive particles yap oZv. 
 The sense of the whole is — Very jealous as against the gods for 
 our authority, we use it mercilessly as against our victims. In 
 the construction of the sentence riva means — any one else but

 It is remarkable how in this the best example of that contrast 
 between passion and philosophy, enthusiasm and criticism, on 
 which Sophocles delights to dwell, even the metrical and syn- 
 tactical forms are appropriate to the actors and the thoughts. 
 Antigone's lamentation in w. 1-32 is contrasted by its pathetic 
 rhythm and unconnected construction with the cheerful and 
 regular anapaests of the elders' consolation ; her more vehement 
 indignation in w. 33-36 by its broken and breathless language 
 and agitated and rapid metrical form, with their grave and 
 moralising iambics and clauses balanced with fxev and Se.

 15-21. Tr. — For many as are the billows that when blows 
 an unflagging South wind or North wind over a broad sea one 
 may watch rolling interminably, so many waves of evils make 
 up the life of the Cadmusborn, yea make it as full of troubles as 
 the sea of Crete is full of waves. But still there is a god to 
 guide him safe through all and turn him from the path of Hades. 
 
 The chorus proceeds to console Deianira by pointing out 
 that Heracles does but share the doom and may therefore share 
 the hopes of all mankind. u>v is — in respect of what I have 
 been saying. In aSeia (nom. sing.) yXv dvria (ace. pi.) Se, the 
 order which we should expect, is reversed, as in 5e|ia /j.ev 
 KaTa.fj.o/j.(j)a 5e — (though not perfectly good, yet on the whole 
 good), Aesch. Ag. 145, and in Soph. O. C. 1536 6eol yap ev fiev 
 6\ph S' elffopwa-' — (though late yet surely). The sense is — Thus, 
 blaming you, though I blame you I will be comforting still. In 
 the word ' thus ' the chorus refers to what it has just said of the 
 toils of Heracles on the one hand and his divine protector on 
 the other (w. 15-21), and says : — while I shall blame you for 
 despairing, I shall yet give you comfort by the considerations 
 which I shall draw from what I have been saying. In the 
 following lines it proceeds .with these considerations : namely, 
 (i) that all men must suffer; (2) but they must also by their 
 fate have seasons of joy, so that if Heracles is now in gloom his 
 turn of joy will soon come ; and (3) if Zeus alternates joy and 
 pain for other men, he can do no less for his own son. 
 
 33. Tr. — Thus there shall be comfort even in the blame I 
 bring ; and I bid you not let your good hope wear out : for not 
 even he who orders all things, the king the son of Cronos, can 
 grant to son of woman not to weep. Still over us all in turn 
 circles the alternation of joy and woe, as the Bear circles round 
 the pole. As adorned Night abides not, so neither happiness nor 
 evil always keep the sky, but quickly set no one while for 
 another in his turn rises the day of joy or r.ight of loss. All 
 this I bid even thee poor queen hold fast in hope ; for who hath 
 found Zeus so uncareful for his sons ?

 confirmed by the age of Oedipus, the age of the chorus, and the 
 age of Sophocles at the time when he wrote the play. 
 
 The whole chorus divides itself into three parts. The strophe 
 (1-13) enunciates the idea of the whole; the antistrophe (14- 
 26) pursues the idea through the three stages of life, viz. foolish 
 youth (18-19), manhood full of tumults and toils (20-23), and 
 old age without joys ^ 23-26) ; and the epode (27-36) points to 
 Oedipus as an example. 
 
 Lines 1-2. (coeiv limits the application of both tov /xer plov and 
 Tov nKfopos /jifpovs to moderation and excess in the particular 
 subject of length of life, and is a kind of accusative — in regard

 moderate — and is governed by xpvC^h ^^ rov fierpiov by Tropeis. 
 
 5-6. The meaning of KaT^Qevro is doubtful : ttoAAo may be 
 either the accusative after it {Kiiras being in the genitive^ or an 
 adverbial accusative {\{nras being the ace. pl.) = in many things. 
 If the latter is the true construction, the sense may be — For in 
 many things the lengthening of life is but the laying up of pains 
 to be met. 
 
 7-13. The general sense is — Age leads to a joyless region of 
 life. But the construing is very difficult. Taking the M.SS. 
 reading (as in the text) it may be :— And no pleasures can be 
 found 'ri Ttpirovra 5' ovtc t^v i^ois Sirov) there where men come 
 when they have fatally attained "orav tis Trfo-p) too much of

 Hades (jxolpa laoreMiTTOs "Ai'Sos) which knows neither marriage- 
 song nor lyre nor dance (avvfievaios &\vpos dxopos), even death 
 which ends the journey (Bdvaros is reXivrdv). 
 
 On this interpretation Triirreiv es ti means the same in a bad 
 sense as Tvyxdy^tv Tii/hs means in a good sense, but with a 
 further notion of arrival at a place in addition to that of the 
 attainment of a thing : TrKiov rov QtKovros is — too much (i. e. 
 more than is good; of what they wish for : and the ouSe in v. 
 10 must be closely connected with ore in v. 11 — not even at the 
 moment when, avairetprivf is a metaphor from navigation or 
 travel, and means the same as the Latin ' aperitur.' 
 
 But if Hermann's conjecture — toG OeKovros' 6 8' eiriKovpos — be 
 adopted, the words irXeov rov OeKovros may still be taken as

 The whole may be translated : — Whoso would let go the 
 mean, and longs for overmuch of life, that he chcrisheth folly 
 shall be the plain moral of my song. For oftentimes lengthened 
 days do but lead to where sorrows wait (or — do but lay up for

 that he brandishes an instrument, probably the ladle with which 
 (cp. V. 246 of the play) he has been pouring out the sacrificial

 Euripides' tragedy 'Telephus,' in which the hero, learning from 
 an oracle that a wound inflicted by Achilles could be cured only 
 by the spear which made it, entered Agamemnon's palace, and 
 snatching the infant Orestes from the hearth held him as a 
 hostage till he gained his object. Telephus answers to 
 Dicaeopolis, Orestes to the coal-basket, and Agamemnon, 
 Achilles and the Argives to the chorus.

 Other people can write on the ground floor. No wonder your 
 heroes lame themselves in coming down from all up there. 
 And what's this ? you are dressed up in old rags : — no wonder 
 your heroes are beggars.' Throughout this part of the scene

 is separated not in the winnowing but in the grinding, and in the

 married into the noble house of Megacles and whose son 
 Pheidippides is ruining him by extravagance in the city at the 
 same time that the war has made his farm worthless. 
 
 Pheidippides represents young Athens, his father Strepsiades 
 is the embodiment of old-fashioned Athenian prejudice as well as 
 of ignorant and vulgar cunning, which desires to turn the new 
 learning to pecuniary advantage ; his name seems merely to 
 signify the readiness with which he adapts himself to his 
 altered circumstances. 
 
 Socrates is in part a mere representative of the class or 
 profession of the Sophists, partly a personal caricature of the 
 philosopher himself. These two elements of the character are 
 so mixed together that they cannot be distinguished.

 Lines 176-179. The point of this passage seems to be to il- 
 lustrate Socrates' practice of getting unexpected conclusions 
 in philosophy from homely illustrations. — Upon the board he 
 strewed dust of cinders and having bent a skewer and so got him 
 a pair of compasses, from the palaestra he conveyed the cloak. — 
 It is not known what the force of the last words is, except that 
 they are used irap' inrdvoiav to express the unexpected nature 
 of the result. It is supposed that the cloak might be pawned or 
 sold for the required supper, so that the result, however 
 unexpected, might still lead to the desired conclusion. There 
 may be an allusion to the story that Socrates appropriated a 
 drinking vessel at a banquet while the other guests were 
 listening to a poem of Stesichorus. The article in dolfxariov may 
 be a part of the artifice irap virovoiav, the unexpected result 
 being treated as if it had been expected.

 Such is the general sense of the passage, but the poetical 
 element is inextricably mixed up with burlesque and personal 
 satire and political allusions which cannot be represented by 
 translation or paraphrase, any more than the peculiar and 
 appropriate airiness of the language and metre. 
 
 The plot so far as it is essential to the comprehension of this 
 parabasis is as follows. — Two Athenians, Peisthetairos and 
 Euelpides, disgusted with the litigiousness of Athens, seek a 
 new countr3^ They come to the abode of Epops, king of the 
 birds, and propose to him a scheme of universal dominion for 
 the birds over gods and men. The other birds, alarmed at first 
 at the sight of the men, are easily cajoled by their promises, 
 and excited by the prospect of empire call forth the nightingale 
 their queen, and in a general chorus led by her explain how in 
 reality they alwaj^s have been and in the nature of things must 
 be the superiors of mankind. 
 
 According to Silvern the motive of the play is satire directed 
 against that design of reducing the Peloponnesians by pre- 
 viously mastering Sicily, Italy, Carthage, and Egypt, acquiring 
 the command of the Mediterranean, and so isolating and in 
 effect blockading the Peloponnese, which Alcibiades projected 
 and which having taken possession of the minds of the Athe-

 At proper distances small holes he made, 
 
 And fastened the cut stems of reeds within,

 The open space and fixed the cubits in, 
 Fitting the bridge to both, and stretched o'er all 
 Symphonious chords of sheep-gut rhj^thmical. 
 
 When he had wrought the lovely instrument, 
 He tried the chords, and made division meet

 Dallied in love not quite legitimate ; 
 And his own birth, still scoffing at the scandal,

 In plastic verse, her household stuff and state, 
 Perennial pot, trippet, and brazen pan —

 Arched over the dark cavern ; Maia's child

 As among fire-brands lies a burning spark 
 
 Covered, beneath the ashes cold and dark.

 Recesses in the rock — where many a nook 
 Was filled with the sweet food immortals swallow. 
 
 And mighty heaps of silver and of gold

 Of my illustrious heifers, where they are ! 
 
 ' Speak quickly ! or a quarrel between us 
 
 Must rise, and the event will be, that I 
 Shall haul you into dismal Tartarus, 
 
 In fiery gloom to dwell eternally ! 
 Nor shall your father or your mother loose 
 
 The bars of that black dungeon— utterly 
 You shall be cast out from the light of day 
 To rule the ghosts of men, unblest as they.' 
 
 To whom thus Hermes slily answered : — ' Son 
 
 Of great Latona, what a speech is this ! 
 Why come you here to ask me what is done 
 
 With the wild oxen which it seems you miss ? 
 I have not seen them, nor from any one 
 
 Have heard a word of the whole business ; 
 If you should promise an immense reward, 
 I could not tell more than you now have heard.

 And I am but a little new-born thing, 
 Who, yet at least, can think of nothing wrong :— 
 
 My business is to suck, and sleep, and fling 
 The cradle-clothes about me all day long,— 
 
 Or, half asleep, hear my sweet mother sing. 
 And to be washed in water clean and warm. 
 And hushed and kissed and kept secure from harm.

 To fruitage-laden Summer ; and the orb 
 Of weary Night doth in her turn stand by, 
 And let shine out, with her white steeds, the Day :

 To groaning seas : even the arch-tyrant, Sleep, 
 Doth loose his slaves, not hold them chained for ever.

 Who is my foe I must but hate as one 
 Whom I may yet call Friend : and him who loves me v 
 Will I but serve and cherish as a man 
 Whose love is not abiding. Few be they 
 Who reaching Friendship's port have there found rest. 
 
 But for these things, they shall be well. Go thou, 
 Lady, within, and there pray that the gods 
 May fill unto the full my heart's desire. 
 And ye, my mates, do unto me with her 
 Like honour : bid young Teucer, if he come, 
 To care for me, but to be your friend still.

 Before the creation of Aethei and Light, 
 Chaos and Night together were phght, 
 In the dungeon of Erebus foully bedight. 
 Nor Ocean, or Air, or substance was there, 
 Or solid or rare, or figure or form, 
 But horrible Tartarus ruled in the storm : 
 
 At length in the dreary chaotical closet 
 Of Erebus old, was a privy deposit, 
 By Night the primaeval in secrecy laid — 
 A mystical egg, that in silence and shade 
 Was brooded and hatch'd, till time came about, 
 And Love, the delightful, in glory flew out, 
 In rapture and light exulting and bright. 
 Sparkling and florid, with stars in his forehead, 
 His forehead and hair, and a flutter and flare, 
 As he rose in the air, triumphantly furnish'd 
 To range his dominions on glittering pinions. 
 All golden and azure, and blooming and burnish'd : 
 
 He soon in the murky Tartarean recesses, 
 With a hurricane's might, in his fiery caresses 
 Impregnated Chaos ; and hastily snatch'd 
 To being and life, begotten and hatch'd, 
 The primitive Birds : but the Deities all. 
 The celestial Lights, the terrestrial Ball, 
 Were later of birth, with the dwellers on earth 
 More tamely combined, of a temperate kind ; 
 When chaotical mixture approached to a fixture. 
 
 Our antiquity proved, it remains to be shown 
 That Love is our author and master alone. 
 Like him vye can ramble, and gambol and fly 
 O'er ocean and earth, and aloft to the sky : 
 And all the world over, we're friends to the lover. 
 And when other means fail, we are found to prevail,

 Spintharus, the Phrj-gian born, will pass a muster there 
 with ease 
 Counted as a Phrygian fowl, and even Execestides, 
 Once a Carian and a slave, may then be nobly born and free. 
 Plume himself on his descent, and hatch a proper pedigree. 
 
 Semichorus. 
 
 Thus the Swans in chorus follow, 
 On the mighty Thracian stream 
 Hymning their eternal theme — 
 Praise to Bacchus and Apollo : 
 
 The welkin rings with sounding wings. 
 With songs and cries of melodies, 
 Up to the thunderous Aether, ascending. 
 
 Whilst all that breathe on earth beneath 
 
 The beasts of the wood, the plain, and the flood. 
 In panic amazement are crouching and bending, 
 
 With the awful qualm of a sudden calm 
 Ocean and air in silence blending. 
 The ridge of Olympus is sounding on high. 
 Appalling with wonder the lords of the sky. 
 
 And the Muses and Graces, 
 
 Enthroned in their places. 
 Join in the solemn symphony.

 X. There, master, there they are, the initiated ; 
 
 All sporting about as he told us we should find 'em : 
 They're singing in praise of Bacchus like Diagoras. 
 
 B. Indeed, and so they are ; but we will keep quiet 
 Till we make them out a little more distinctly. 
 
 Chorus. 
 
 Mighty Bacchus ! Holy Power ! 
 Hither at the wonted hour 
 Come away, 
 Come away. 
 With the wanton holiday, 
 Where the revel uproar leads 
 To the mystic holy meads, 
 Where the frolic votaries fly, ] 
 With a tipsy shout and cry ; > 
 Flourishing the Thyrsus high, ) 
 Flinging forth alert and airy, 
 To the sacred old vagary, 
 The tumultuous dance and song, 
 Sacred from the vulgar throng ; 
 Mystic orgies that are known 
 To the votaries alone — 
 To the mystic chorus solely — 
 Secret, — unrevealed, — and holy. 
 X. O glorious virgin, daughter of the goddess ! 
 
 What a scent of roasted griskin reached my senses. 
 B. Keep quiet^and watch for a chance of a piece of the 
 haslets. 
 
 Choi-US. 
 
 Raise the fiery torches high ! 
 Bacchus is approaching nigh. 
 Like the planet of the morn, 
 Breaking with the hoary dawn,
 
 5 36 SELECTED TRANSLATIONS, 
 
 On the dark solemnity — 
 There they flash upon the sight ; \ 
 All the plain is blazing bright, \ 
 Flushed and overflown with light. ) 
 Age has cast his years away, '\ 
 
 And the cares of many a day, > 
 Sporting to the lively lay. ' 
 
 Mighty Bacchus ! march and lead 
 (Torch in hand towards the mead) 
 Thy devoted humble chorus. 
 Mighty Bacchus, move before us. 
 
 Let us hasten, — let us fly, — 
 Where the lovely meadows lie ; 
 
 Where the living waters flow ; 
 
 Where the roses bloom and blow. 
 
 — Heirs of immortality 
 
 Segregated, safe and pure, 
 
 Easy, sorrowless, secure ; 
 
 Since our earthly course is run, 
 
 We behold a brighter sun. 
 
 Holy lives — a holy vow — 
 
 Such rewards await them now.

 Gorgo. Is Praxinoe at home ? 
 
 Praxinoe. My dear Gorgo, at last ! Yes, here I am. Eunoe, 
 find a chair, — get a cushion for it. 
 
 Gorgo. It will do beautifully as it is. 
 
 Praxinoe. Do sit down. 
 
 Gorgo. Oh, this gad-about spirit! I could hardly get to j'ou, 
 Praxinoe, through all the crowd and all the carriages. Nothing 
 but heavy boots, nothing but men in uniform. And what a 
 journey it is ! My dear child, you really live too far off.
 
 SELECTED TRANSLATIONS. 537 
 
 Praxinoe. It is all that insane husband of mine. He has 
 chosen to come out here to the end of the world, and take 
 a hole of a place — for a house it is not — on purpose that you 
 and I might not be neighbours. He is always just the same — 
 anything to quarrel with one ! anything for spite ! 
 
 Gorgo. My dear, don't talk so of your husband before the 
 little fellow. Just see how astonished he looks at you. Never 
 mind, Zopyrio, my pet, she is not talking about papa. 
 
 Praxinoe. Good heavens ! the child does really understand. 
 
 Gotgo. Pretty papa ! 
 
 Piaxinoe. That pretty papa of his the other day (though I 
 told him beforehand to mind what he was about), when I sent 
 him to a shop to buy soap and rouge, brought me home salt 
 instead ; stupid, great, big. interminable animal ! 
 
 Gorgo. Mine is just the fellow to him. . . . But never mind 
 now, get on your things and let us be off to the palace to see 
 the Adonis. I hear the Queen's decorations are something 
 splendid. 
 
 Praxinoe. In grand people's houses everj'thing is grand. 
 What things you have seen in Alexandria ! What a deal you 
 will have to tell to anybody who has nev-er been here ! 
 
 Gorgo. Come, we ought to be going. 
 
 Praxinoe. Every day is a holiday to people who have nothing 
 to do. Eunoe, pick up j^our work ; and take care, you lazy 
 girl, how you leave it lying about again ; the cats find it just 
 the bed they like. Come, stir yourself, fetch me some water, 
 quick ! I wanted the water first, and the girl brings me the 
 soap. Never mind ; give it me. Not all that, extravagant ! 
 Now pour out the water ;— stupid ! why don't you take care of 
 my dress ? That will do. I have got my hands washed as it 
 pleased God. Where is the key of the large wardrobe ? Bring 
 it here ; — quick ! 
 
 Gorgo. Praxinoe, j^ou can't think how well that dress, made 
 full, as you have got it, suits you. Tell me, how much did it 
 cost ? — the dress by itself, I mean.
 
 538 SELECTED TRANSLATIONS. 
 
 Praxinoc. Don't talk of it, Gorgo : more than eight guineas 
 of good hard money. And about the work on it, I have almost 
 worn my life out. 
 
 Gorgo. Well j^ou couldn't have done better. 
 
 Praxinoe. Thank you. Bring me my shawl, and put my hat 
 properly on my head ; — properly. No, child {to her little boy), 
 I am not going to take you ; there's a bogy on horseback, who 
 bites. Cry as much as you like ; I'm not going to have you 
 lamed for life. Now we'll start. Nurse take the little one and 
 amuse him; call the dog in, and shut the street door. {They 
 go out.) Good heavens ! what a crowd of people ! How on 
 earth are we ever to get through all this ? They are like ants : 
 you can't count them. My dearest Gorgo, what will become 
 of us ? here are the royal Horse Guards. My good man, don't 
 ride over me ! Look at that bay horse rearing bolt upright ; 
 what a vicious one ! Eunoe, you mad girl, do take care ! — that 
 horse will certainly be the death of the man on his back. How 
 glad I am now, that I left the child safe at home ! 
 
 Gorgo. All right, Praxinoe, we are safe behind them ; and 
 they have gone on to where they are stationed. 
 
 Praxinoe. Well, yes, I begin to revive again. From the 
 time I was a little girl I have had more horror of horses and 
 snakes than of anything else in the world. Let us get on ; 
 here's a great crowd coming this way upon us. 
 
 Gorgo. (to an old woman). Mother, are you from the palace? 
 
 Old woman. Yes, my dears. 
 
 Gorgo. Has one a tolerable chance of getting there? 
 
 Old woman. My pretty young lady, the Greeks got to Troy 
 by dint of trying hard ; trying will do anything in this world. 
 
 Gorgo. The old creature has delivered herself of an oracle and 
 departed. 
 
 Praxinoe. Women can tell you everything about everything, 
 Jupiter's marriage with Juno not excepted. 
 
 Gorgo. Look, Praxinoe, what a squeeze at the palace 
 gates!
 
 SELECTED TRANSLATIONS. 539 
 
 Praxinoc, Tremendous! Take hold of me, Gorge ; and you, 
 Eunoe, take hold of Eutychis ! — tight hold, or you'll be lost. 
 Here we go in all together. Hold tight to us, Eunoe ! Oh, 
 dear! oh, dear! Gorgo, there's my scarf torn right in two. 
 For heaven's sake, my good man, as you hope to be saved, 
 take care of my dress ! 
 
 Stmngcr. I'll do what I can, but it doesn't depend upon me. 
 
 Pmxinoe. What heaps of people ! They push like a drove 
 of pigs. 
 
 Sf ranger. Don't be frightened, ma'am, we are all right. 
 
 Praxiiioe. May you be all right, my dear sir, to the last day 
 you live, for the care you have taken of us ! What a kind, 
 considerate man ! There is Eunoe jammed in a squeeze. 
 Push, you goose, push ! Capital ! We are all of us the right 
 side of the door, as the bridegroom said when he had locked 
 himself in with the bride. 
 
 Gorgo. Praxinoe, come this way. Do but look at that work, 
 how delicate it is ! — how exquisite ! Why, they might wear 
 it in heaven. 
 
 Praxinoe. Heavenly patroness of needlewomen, what hands 
 were hired to do that work ? Who designed those beautiful 
 patterns ? They seem to stand up and move about, as if thej' 
 were real; — as if they were living things, and not needlework. 
 Well, man is a wonderful creature ! And look, look, how 
 charming he lies there on his silver couch, with just a soft down 
 on his checks, that beloved Adonis, — Adonis, whom one 
 loves even though he is dead ! 
 
 Another Stranger. You wretched women, do stop your 
 incessant chatter ! Like turtles, you go on for ever. They 
 are enough to kill one with their broad lingo, — nothing but a, ^ 
 a, a. 
 
 Gorgo. Lord, where does the man come from ? What is it 
 to you if we are chatterboxes ? Order about your own 
 servants ! Do you give orders to Syracusan women ? If you 
 want to know, we came originally from Corinth, as Bellerophon

 did ; we speak Peloponnesian. I suppose Dorian women may 
 be allowed to have a Dorian accent. 
 
 Praxinoc. Oh, honey-sweet Proserf)ine, let us have no more ■ 
 masters than the one we've got ! We don't the least care for 
 you; praj' don't trouble yourself for nothing. 
 
 Gorgo. Be quiet, Praxinoe ! That ^rst-rate singer, the 
 Argive woman's daughter, is going to sing the Adonis hymn. 
 She is the same who was chosen to sing the dirge last 
 j'ear. We are sure to have something first-rate from her. 
 She is going through her airs and graces ready to begin.
