 THIS little edition is an attempt to render the 
 four pieces of Lucian selected for the Previous 
 Examination intelligible to candidates even though 
 not well grounded in Greek, without producing a mere 
 cram-book, the demand for which it is usually left 
 to private enterprize to supply. Time being short, 
 I have not entered deepty into textual questions, and 
 have only departed from the text of Bekker's edition 
 in a very few passages, and then for the most part 
 following Jacobitz or Sommerbrodt in the adoption 
 of manuscript readings. When I have borrowed, I 
 have acknowledged the debt. I have striven hard 
 to keep the notes down to a moderate bulk ; but 
 they are still long, and my experience in preparing 
 students for the above-mentioned examination debars 
 me from all hope of reducing their length without 
 wholly changing the character of the edition. In 
 any case much must be left to the teacher.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 A. Lucian's times, his life and works. 
 
 (1) LUCIAN lived about 120 200 AD and was one of the 
 chief literary characters of the period commonly known as 
 the * age of the Antonines.' The civilized world, and much 
 that was barbarian, was ruled by Roman laws and guarded by 
 Roman armies. The imperial administration had settled into a 
 centralized despotism governing the provinces through a host of 
 subordinates, but to a great extent respecting local institutions. 
 All power within the Roman frontiers now emanated from or 
 existed by sufferance of the emperor : he was the one main- 
 spring of the whole machinery, and from his camp or palace 
 sent forth his orders to be obeyed through the whole empire 
 from the Euphrates to the Clyde. The vast mass of countries 
 composing this empire may be divided into West and East, the 
 former speaking Latin, the latter Greek. This rough division of 
 speech marks an important fact. The western provinces were 
 greatly Romanized; the eastern, submitting far more readily 
 to the conquerors and adapting themselves quickly to the 
 forms of provincial government, remained almost unaffected by 
 Rome while they exercised a powerful influence upon her. 
 
 (2) Such few and broad outlines must here suffice to give 
 a faint idea of the outward aspect of the Roman world in the 
 second century of our era. What has been said of the East 
 generally will apply in particular to Syria. That country had 
 come more and more under Greek influences since the con- 
 
viii INTRODUCTION. 
 
 quests of Alexander and the foundation of kingdoms by the 
 generals who divided his great empire. But, as would naturally 
 be the case where Greek learning and ingenuity were intro- 
 duced among oriental apathy and luxury, the mixture produced 
 a people unrivalled in the arts of elaborate immorality and 
 crime. The wave of Syrian slaves pimps poisoners and quacks 
 of all descriptions that deluged Rome, added another pernicious 
 influence to corrupt a society already only too much debased 
 by the contact with the western Greeks. Christianity was it 
 is true doing something for the reformation of Seleucia and 
 Antioch ; but Christianity itself took no good from the contact. 
 Among such a people, intellectual but immoral, at the town of 
 Samosata on the upper Euphrates, the capital of the district 
 called Commagene, Lucian (A.ovKiavbs or AVKIVOS) was born. 
 We know very little of his life save what may be learnt from 
 his own writings ; and even that is not much. It is chiefly to 
 be gathered from the pieces called 1 (i) the Dream (2) the Twice- 
 accused (3) the Defence of salaried service. 
 
 (3) After the failure of an attempt to bring him up to the 
 trade or profession of statuary, young Lucian seems to have 
 devoted himself to the attainment how, we know not of such 
 culture as his native province could afford ; and in particular 
 to rhetoric, for it is hardly credible that, being born of a poor 
 family, he can have gone off on his travels without the rudi- 
 ments of some profession at least. We find him still a youth 
 roaming about western Asia Minor (ncpl rr^v *\<&vlav\ the chief 
 cities of which were Ephesus and Smyrna, rival seats of learn- 
 ing and commerce. Here he became a finished rhetorician, 
 and entered upon his literary career. He seems to have earned 
 his living partly by pleading in the courts, partly by public 
 lectures or rhetorical displays such as the professors 2 (o-

 vian Caesars set the example of such endowments, and the Antonines 
 followed the lead.

 of the time were in the habit of delivering both on serious and 
 trifling subjects. He soon passed over to Greece proper, and no 
 doubt visited Athens, then the chief centre 1 of Greek education ; 
 all the while we may be sure extending the range of his inform- 
 ation and improving the accuracy of his style. From thence 
 he passed on to Italy, his reputation growing as he went : till 
 he found a congenial society and source of profit in the rhetoric- 
 loving towns of Gaul. 
 
 (4) When Lucian was now in his fortieth year, and had 
 amassed considerable wealth, he left the West and settled down 
 at Athens, having removed his family thither from Samosata. 
 He now threw over rhetoric and took to the study of philosophy. 
 The many writings in the composition of which he now revelled 
 are for the most part cast in the form of dialogue. Imitation 
 of Plato was in all likelihood originally at the bottom of this, but 
 the spirit of the satiric dialogue (of which Lucian may be called 
 the founder) has more in common with Aristophanes than with 
 Plato. At Athens our author learned to write a purer Attic 
 Greek than he had before been able to attain ; getting rid of 
 most of those Syrian provincialisms which he, though long ago 
 ' enrolled among the Greeks ' by his earlier rhetorical studies, 
 still no doubt retained in plenty. 
 
 (5) He now poured forth a series of satires, which assail 
 human weakness and folly from many points of view. The 
 popular notions of the gods and the life after death ; the vain 
 hopes fears and endeavours of men ; the empty vanity of the 
 rhetorician ; the insincere moral-lecturing of the philosopher ; 
 the indignities borne by dependents at the hands of the great ; 
 the crafty machinations of harlots for the enthralment of wealthy 
 youths; the weak and childish spirit in which the Homeric 
 poems were read and learnt by heart ; the want of critical 
 power which encouraged the production of wild romances under 
 the name of books of travel ; all these and more are merci- 
 lessly lashed in detail with the scourge of satire. Lucian is

 city teemed with lecturers of all sorts. 
 
x INTRODUCTION. 
 
 no philosopher : his principles seem to advance but little 
 beyond the ( be sober and suspicious ' of Epicharmus. He is 
 cold and unimpassioned, and, while amid the rottenness of 
 society he can point to no hope, he condescends to no utter- 
 ance of despair. Yet he seems to have often been over-hasty 
 in the writing or publication of his pieces : for he often had to 
 write again and explain away the purport of what he had 
 written, and this not always 1 with success. 
 
 (6) Thus in literary employment, among the schools and 
 refined society of Athens, Lucian passed his later middle age, 
 and became an old man. Whether he ever set out again on a 
 continuous round of travel as a lecturer, seems to me at the 
 very least doubtful. Nor do I see safe ground for assuming 
 that he fell into poverty in his declining years. We do however 
 know that he was entrusted with a public office in Egypt, the 
 management of the routine of a law-court and registration of 
 proceedings in the same. He probably died in the enjoyment 
 of the salary attached to this post, at a very advanced age ; but 
 the exact date is not known. 
 
 (7) Of the matter of Lucian's writings something has been 
 said above, and so far as this book is concerned the pieces in 
 it are separately handled below. His style is clear and flowing, 
 the diction on the whole careful and the sentences neat and 
 polished. But with all his efforts he never succeeded in bringing 
 his grammar into full accord with the rules of strict Attic. He 
 overloads his clauses with strained attempts at emphasis by 
 too often thrusting in a KOI needlessly, or piling particle on 
 particle : ovde is used as the old writers use OVT* ; the optative 
 is put in consequential clauses where the subjunctive ought in 
 strictness to have been used: and in common with Plutarch 
 and other writers of that period prj is ruthlessly used as the 
 equivalent of ov. Such blemishes are however excusable under 
 the circumstances of Lucian's origin and life. We must admit 
 that his efforts after the attainment of a pure Attic style were 
 rewarded with a great measure of success. But in his matter

INTRODUCTION. xi 
 
 and style alike there is a sort of sameness which is rather 
 wearisome to the reader ; the same old simile quotation and 
 even turn of phrase reappear more often than is palatable. 
 As to his reading, he seems to have studied carefully most of 
 the works of the old classical Greek authors, especially the 
 Homeric poems, the plays of Euripides and Aristophanes, the 
 histories of Herodotus Thucydides and Xenophon, and the 
 dialogues of Plato. 
 
 B. The Dream. 
 
 (8) The short piece known as the Dream must have been 
 written by Lucian in his later middle age, when he revisited 1 
 his native town. He had left it poor and unknown ; he 
 came back rich and famous : and it is very likely that he may 
 have been asked to address his fellow townsmen in public 
 shortly after his arrival. Being struck with the deadness of 
 provincial life and the want of enterprise in the youths of 
 Samosata, he would probably think that he could not do better 
 than give them a short view of his own rise, and stir their 
 ambition by the force of his example. We may then suppose 
 him to have told them the story of his dream, which may 
 have been true or fictitious : it matters not. Afterwards 
 whether by request or not he would write a report of his 
 address for publication. This view of the origin of the paper 
 before us is borne out by the direct appeal < avdpes in 5, /m) 
 dTntrnjo-qre in 14, and by the whole sense and phraseology of 
 
 17, 18. 
 
 (9) On a careful examination of the piece I find little in 
 it to praise. It is simple and easy to understand ; but the 
 machinery of the dream is clumsy, and not even original, being 
 evidently modelled on the famous fable of Prodikus called the 
 ' choice of Herakles.' We may well believe that the remark 
 
 1 See above 4. 
 
xii INTRODUCTION. 
 
 put into the mouth of a bystander in 17 may be not a mere 
 fiction of the author but a plain report. To what a depth 
 literary taste had sunk is well shewn by the allegorical descrip- 
 tion of his own travels in 15, 16. When an eminent man, 
 among the first writers of the age, could compose a passage 
 so teeming with affectation and vanity, and then point com- 
 placently to his own superiority as compared with contemporary 
 sculptors, we are sharply reminded of the intellectual dreariness 
 of those days, of the barrenness of Philosophy and the de- 
 gradation of Art. The modern reader will also be struck by 
 another thing in connexion with the work ; I mean the want of 
 a sound core of facts bearing upon Lucian's life. We learn 
 that he was destined to follow his uncle's trade or profession 
 of Statuary ; but that he abandoned this career at a very early 
 stage and took to Liberal Education or Culture, and that 
 through this latter he somehow rose to distinction and affluence. 
 Little more is to be gathered as to the history of our author; 
 and we can take but a very faint interest in the tedious details 
 of the dream. 
 
 C Charon. 
 
 (10) In order to give opportunity for setting forth in the 
 form of a dialogue the views of a cynical observer concerning the 
 world of men (d /3/o?), their vain hopes and endeavours, their 
 pride and inconsistency, their blindness to the doom that surely 
 awaits all death , Charon the ferryman of souls is introduced 
 to us as on a short furlough, paying a visit to the earth. And 
 since the legends represented him as always present in the 
 nether world, and by consequence strange to the earth, it was 
 necessary to provide him with a guide, that he might be able 
 ( l 3> 2 4) to spend his time to advantage. Now dramatic 
 propriety at once pointed to Hermes the guide of souls as the 
 proper person to undertake this duty. Not only would his wide 
 acquaintance with life on earth make him a valuable guide to 
 
INTRODUCTION. xiii 
 
 any wanderer, but being also familiar with the world below he 
 would be especially useful to Charon, seeing at once the point 
 of his allusions and comparisons, and entering into his difficul- 
 ties. Again, time being short, Charon must be placed where he 
 may be supposed able to see both far and clearly. This appa- 
 rently insuperable difficulty is overcome by the application of 
 the Homeric mythology : Hermes soon finds out how to raise a 
 scaffold of mountains, and charms away the mist from Charon's 
 eyes by a timely quotation. Unless I am greatly mistaken, this 
 introduction of the Homeric poems has its meaning. Lucian is 
 really saying ' if you can accept the marvels of mythology, you 
 can accept anything ; hence if I come to a difficulty I have only 
 to work in some of the myths with plenty of quotations from the 
 Iliad and Odyssey, and you cannot complain of any absurdity.' 
 In fact our author, while making the ridicule of human follies 
 his main object in this dialogue, has a fling by the way at the 
 popular religious conceptions. These latter are among the 
 most common themes for his satirical pen. 
 
 (11) We now pass on to the panorama. First it is to be 
 noted that the time chosen is somewhere in the sixth century 
 B c, but strict chronology is set at defiance. Our attention is 
 claimed by the figures, with the story and moral reflection 
 attached to each : Milon ( 8) the great athlete, glorying in his 
 strength and forgetting that he must some day yield the victory 
 to death : Croesus ( 10 12) the wealthy king of Lydia, claim- 
 ing to have reached the summit of happiness, spurning the 
 warning voice of Solon 1 and unable to foresee the shameful end 
 awaiting him : Cyrus and Cambyses ( 13) either in his turn 
 Great King of Persia, alike ignorant of the evil deaths in store 
 for them : Polykrates ( 14) tyrant of Samos in the height of his 
 prosperity blind to his coming downfall. Charon remarks what 
 fun it will be to see their humbled ghosts in the ferry-boat, 
 stripped of all their splendour. Hermes then calls his attention 
 to the common herd, the rank and file of mankind ( 15 20),

xiv INTRODUCTION. 
 
 the struggle and turmoil of their life ; how, blinded by ignorance 
 and excited by a host of passions, wildly led on by fond hopes 
 or depressed by unreasonable fears, they toil and fight, rob and 
 swindle, buy land and build, marry and beget children, never 
 giving a thought the while to the certain approach of death, nor 
 heeding the inexorable Fates whose threads are surely spun 
 to control the destinies of all. The higher men rise, the further 
 have they to tumble : kings are no better off than cobblers : 
 what then should make them fear death, their best friend? 
 Mankind, says old Charon, are even as the bubbles on a stream : 
 soon or late all must burst and pass away. He is deeply moved 
 by the spectacle, and proposes to cry aloud and testify against 
 this foolish world. But his guide warns him that it is useless to 
 preach to those who will not hear, and to tell an old story to 
 those who know. And such is the case with men. The philo- 
 sopher has no choice but to withdraw in scorn from the thank- 
 less multitude (21) and contemplate life from without. Charon 
 now with a natural inquisitiveness desires to see ( 22) the tombs 
 in which men lay their dead. He is astounded at their funeral 
 ceremonies and at the strange medley of inconsistent beliefs 
 implied in them. Even the graves of Achilles and Aias are 
 poor mounds of earth : cities too, the greatest of ancient times, 
 have either disappeared ( 23) already or are doomed soon to 
 disappear. Spartans and Argives are fighting for a land which 
 neither could though conquerors hold for long but here we 
 break off, with a parting comment from Charon ' and not a word 
 about me ! ' This is in fact the keynote of the whole dialogue. 
 Death and all that reminds us of death we set aside. 
 
 (12) The dialogue seems to me one of Lucian's best. Its 
 literary merit is great, particularly in respect of the dramatic 
 truth of the characters. Hermes and Charon are no lay-figures, 
 but such as mythology painted them, and the ideas conveyed in 
 their remarks are well suited to their supposed characters and 
 ways of life. But the matter of the piece is singularly barren of 
 any useful lesson. The ' vanity of human wishes ' is a theme 
 which seems in all ages to call forth the sneers of the cynic or 
 the commonplaces of the rhetorician. But in spite of sarcasms 
 
INTRODUCTION. xv 
 
 and sermons we are much the same, for the plain reason that it 
 is on a shortsighted hopefulness, a ' taking no thought for the 
 morrow,' that most of the business of society depends for its 
 performance : and this in turn rests upon our ignorance of the 
 future, a failing which it is to be feared we shall never over- 
 come. 
 
 D. The Fisher. 
 
 (13) The dialogue known as the Fisher is important to us 
 chiefly as illustrating Lucian's attitude towards philosophy and 
 especially towards the philosophers of his own day. In order to 
 understand it we must give some account of the piece called 
 fituv Trpaa-Ls or the * sale of the lives of the philosophers.' In 
 that witty and interesting dialogue Hermes appears in the 
 character of auctioneer, acting under the directions of Zeus, and 
 disposes of seven philosophers like slaves by open sale : the 
 principles and capabilities of each are of course sold with him, 
 much in the same way as slaves were sold at prices varying 
 according to their strength and accomplishments. Hence the 
 name /3iW Trpacris, and the words of Hermes TOV apia-rov (3iov 
 TreoXcS. Ten philosophers in all are put up, of whom Aristippus 
 Democritus and Heraclitus remain unsold. The rest go off at 
 very various prices : Socrates fetches two talents (nearly ^490), 
 Chrysippus 12 minae (nearly ^50), Pythagoras 10 minae (over 
 ^40), Aristotle 20 minae (over 80), Epicurus 2 minae (over 
 ,8), Pyrrhon the Sceptic i mina (over 4), while Diogenes is 
 taken almost as a favour at 2 obols (about 3jd.). As each is 
 being sold, his chief doctrines habits and personal peculiarities 
 are broadly caricatured, and in fact the whole dialogue is appa- 
 rently a piece of broad and unsparing satire on the old Greek 
 philosophers. 
 
 (14) We must now suppose either that some readers had so 
 understood the dialogue as to hold Lucian for an enemy of 
 philosophy generally, or that Lucian himself conceived it to 
 
xvi INTRODUCTION. 
 
 stand in need of some interpretation. To make clear the mean- 
 ing of the former dialogue, and follow it up by a direct and 
 unmistakeable attack upon the contemporary quack-lecturers 
 who dabbled in philosophy and called themselves philosophers, 
 he wrote the Fisher or * philosophers come to life again.' The 
 old philosophers appear chasing Lucian, exceeding wroth and 
 bent upon visiting him with condign punishment. He vainly 
 endeavours to soothe them by quotations, which they answer 
 with equal fluency ; and he then asks who they are and how he 
 has wronged them. They point to his scurrilous attack, where- 
 upon he denies that he has ever spoken evil of them ; on the 
 contrary, such ingratitude is quite foreign to his intentions ; he 
 has ever honoured philosophy and been a follower and admirer 
 of the philosophers. He ends by claiming to stand trial, feeling 
 quite sure of a triumphant acquittal by a jury composed of 
 philosophy herself and the philosophers present : and this pro- 
 posal is accepted. A jury is formed consisting of the philoso- 
 phers (ten are mentioned by name in different parts of the 
 dialogue) and the attendants of philosophy (Virtue, Truth etc.) 
 ten in number ; the lady Philosophy (found with some difficulty) 
 acts as president of the court. After a refusal on the part of 
 Plato ( 22) 1 to undertake the office of prosecutor, Diogenes the 
 Cynic comes forward readily and accuses Lucian in a short but 
 vehement speech, well suited to his character : and ends by 
 calling loudly for vengeance on him, not only to requite him for 
 the wrongs he has already done, but to deter others from a like 
 attempt. Lucian replies in a long and exhaustive speech, in 
 which he emphatically denies having spoken evil of philosophy 
 or the great old philosophers. He declares that his one aim 
 and end has been to expose the shallowness of the sham philo- 
 sophy of the day, which was no better than a flimsy tissue of 
 catch-words void of the spirit, a body from which the life had 
 fled : and to tear the mask from the wretched quacks who 
 pretended to fill the places of the great founders of the Greek 
 
 1 It is to be observed that Plato is not put up for sale in the piwv 
 
INTR OD UCTION. xvii 
 
 schools of thought, aping the manners of these but neglecting 
 their morals, and making countenance to be lions while they 
 were in truth nothing but asses. He claims to have striven 
 hard to save the names of the ancients and of philosophy 
 herself from the discredit daily brought upon them by these 
 wretches, and so to have deserved a verdict of acquittal. This 
 he gets, and is fully and openly recognized as a friend of true 
 philosophy. 
 
 (15) The court now resolves to put the philosophers of the 
 time on their trial, with a view to inflicting punishment upon 
 them in place of the now acquitted Lucian. But a procla- 
 mation summoning them to make their defence is answered 
 only by the appearance of the poor handful of real strivers 
 after truth who are still not afraid to face the scrutiny. The 
 announcement of a dole draws together a crowd of pretenders 
 among whom the faithful few are soon lost sight of. A most 
 unseemly scramble ensues : but the discovery that the real 
 reason of their being called together is not the distribution of 
 money and dainties, but the judicial enquiry into their lives, 
 speedily puts the whole rabble to flight in headlong rout. Here- 
 upon Lucian receives a commission to go about testing the 
 soundness of the various professors, and rewarding or punishing 
 them according to their deserts. 
 
 (16) We now come to the trifling episode which has given 
 to the whole dialogue the name of the Fisher. We must 
 remember that the scene of the trial has been laid on the 
 Acropolis of Athens. After the flight described above Lucian 
 proposes that, before setting out on his tour of inspection, he 
 should fetch back some of the fugitives. This he does with 
 a line and hook baited with money and figs. The professors 
 appear one by one as greedy fish and are caught and pulled 
 up. Though the description of the several fishes is bitterly 
 satirical, still this part of the piece seems to drag heavily, and 
 it is certainly not lightened by the wretched puns with which 
 it is studded. The court now breaks up, and Lucian sets out 
 on his journey. 
 
 (17) The Fisher is a fair average specimen of Lucian's 
 
xviii INTR OD UCTION. 
 
 writings. The thoroughgoing hatred and contempt for the 
 philosophical lecturers of that time, which takes up so large a 
 part of the dialogue, is a feeling no doubt genuine enough and 
 one which it seems to have been ever his delight and glory to 
 express. And dramatically speaking the characters of the old 
 philosophers are carefully handled and well sustained. But 
 whether it serves to wholly explain away the scurrility, real 
 or supposed, of the ' sale of lives ? is, I think, open to doubt. 
 Not only is it hard 1 after reading that dialogue to believe that 
 it was meant as a mere allegory, in which the philosophers 
 sold by name stand for their false successors ; there is, it 
 appears to me, a serious objection in detail to such a view. 
 Plato is not there put up for sale. Yet Lucian was as bitter 
 against the so-called ' Platonist 7 pretenders as against others: 
 for this the introduction of Plato as leading character in the 
 Fisher implies, and 32, 37, 43, 49 expressly declare. Taking 
 all this in connexion with the studied panegyric upon Plato in 
 22, we shall perhaps see reason to suspect that the purpose 
 of the former dialogue was not quite so harmless as our author 
 afterwards represents it to have been, and that he had pur- 
 posely spared Plato, who was more after his own heart than 
 any of the others. If so, then we must judge his defence 
 (see in particular piscator 29, 31 33, 48) to be inadequate. 
 Further, if he knew it to be so, he can only have written it 
 under the pressure of a real irritation aroused in literary circles 
 by the former work : if he did not, then we must on this as on 
 other evidence set him down for a writer of more elegance 
 than depth. 
 
 1 I am glad to find that Mr Capes in his Age of the Antonines takes 
 a similar view. 
 
INTR OD UCTION. xix 
 
 E. Of Mournirg. 
 
 (18) The little tract 'Of Mourning/ whether written by 
 Lucian or not 1 , is of some permanent interest. The utter 
 inconsistency of people's acts in time of bereavement with 
 their professed religious beliefs is as striking now as in the 
 second century A D, nor am I able to point with confidence to 
 any period when it has been otherwise. 
 
 (19) Lucian whom I believe to be the author of the piece 
 points out that the popular mythology comes from the 
 Homeric poems and such sources, and is full of strange notions 
 resting on no evidence. The state of the departed is by most 
 people taken for granted, just as it appears in these old stories, 
 with all its indefiniteness and contradictions. And in all their 
 ceremonies they behave towards the dead as though they were 
 still in the flesh, subject to all its pains and passions, vexed 
 by its needs : but profess to regard them as spirits of thin air, 
 without substance or cohesion. To give a full analysis of the 
 tract would be almost to translate it The above shews its 
 main drift. 
 
 (20) The literary merit of the piece seems to me high. 
 Though of course not deep, being a merely social article, it is 
 very carefully written; the satire is finely polished and well 
 kept up throughout. I seem everywhere to trace the hand of 
 the author of ' Charon 7 and the * Dialogues of the dead.' It 
 may here be properly remarked that much of the irony will 
 be missed unless the reader holds firmly in mind the common 
 confusion in the use of the Greek words vKpo$ and VCKVS. We 
 find these words put both for the dead body from which the 
 life has fled, and for the spirit of the departed living on in the

 familiar with this extraordinary want of precision. Beginners 
 will do well to notice it in the present work, which more than 
 any other within my acquaintance depends upon this constant 
 change of meaning.

 THE DREAM, 
 
 1, page 1. 
 
 1 dpri (Ji^v tTreTratifjLtjv 6 5 irar^p ^r/coTraro] 'it was just after 
 
 I left school when my father was considering'... The clauses are 
 put parallel with fjv and d, as often in Greek, where we make the 
 second depend on the first. 
 
 2 7Tjo6(T77/3os] near to manhood, almost a man. Greek lads became 
 077/3oi on attaining their iyth year. In 16 Lucian says that he was 
 djnriTrcus. 
 
 3 STL Kal] = quid tandem, or nearly so. The question would be * what 
 am I to put the lad to ? ' This emphatic Kal is especially frequent in 
 Lucian. Compare piscator 16 o$x opw rjvriva Kal Xyeis, 45 0^/o' 
 f5w ri Kal ^x i '> Charon 9 6' n Kal \tyovff i. 
 
 4 iraideta] this word, as will be seen later on, had in Lucian's time a 
 cant sense, almost equal to our * culture ' or * higher education '. The 
 /JL^V following here is answered by the 5 in e 5..., where the construc- 
 tion is however changed. 
 
 5 TU'XTJS ActyUTrpas] ' a splendid fortune ', in our sense* 
 
 \afjLTT pas] compare piscator 34 T&V \afJurpCJv rovrcjv birepopav, 
 Menippus 12 rot \afjiirpa &Kelva. irdvra, IT\OVTOVS \tywi Kal yevrj Kal 
 dwaareias. 
 
 6 TO, 5' ^t^repa...] the 8 continues the sentence in opposition to the 
 Tw'x^s \afjL7rpds. 'While our means were small and called for a 
 speedy kind of succour '. More literally * the help they called for was 
 one that should be a speedy sort of one'. This use of TIS with an 
 adjective in the sense of quidam is very common in Lucian. Compare 
 Charon 4, u, 15 o/>c3 iroiid\T}v TLVCL rty rvpfSrjv, piscator 20

 and pointing out to be supplied from 5oe above. But in the case of 
 the last three the verb supplied must be in the first person singular 
 (e g eddKovv) as aOr6s shews. 
 
 7 (3avavcrwv] that is, some sordid mechanical handicraft, such as was 
 thought too ignoble for a Greek freeman, and left only to the very poor 
 or to slaves. For the construction r^vf]v T&V fiava.vffuv=p&va.v<rov 
 rt-xyw compare Ikaromenippus 3 where yvira ruv Kaprepuv is parallel 
 to derby ev/AtytBr).

 these (f>i\oi speaking to the father about his son. * I should probably 
 have my own needs supplied from my trade '. The future eu'0pami> 
 denotes what would certainly follow on the attainment of that which the 
 present with dv represents as possible. 
 
 9 ot'/c6<7iTos] = a burden on my parents. 
 
 fnfjK^TL] in Lucian as in Plutarch before him, we find the distinction 
 between pi] and ov frequently ignored. Lucian, though striving to write 
 the purest Attic, could leave such monsters as piscator 24 5eiw yap 
 avT$ 6'rt fJLT] fjLarrjv v\o(j>opQV/uLv. 
 
 LO OVK & fjLaKpcLv] = es ov {JLdKpdv, 'in no long time ', 'soon*. Compare 
 10 and Charon 8. 
 
 ti rb yivojjievov] my earnings. Jacobitz well compares Toxaris 18 
 TO yivbfjLevov e/c rovrov dirofapuv rpe<f>e rov Aeiviav. 
 
 2. 
 
 dvSpl t\v6ept3 irpkirovcra] not being strictly a /Saj/autro* rex^r;, but 
 demanding some intelligence. 
 
 irp6xetpov ^x ovffa T V XP r iy^ av '] the adjective is part of the predicate 
 as is shewn by the article before the substantive. The construction is 
 common, and Lucian is very fond of it. Compare for instance piscator 
 i /SctXXe /SaXXe rov Kardparov d<p66voi$ rots \i6ois, and xp"n ffr ^ ^X ov 
 rds eXirtdas below here. 
 
 Xoprjyiav] the equipment of a choir to sing at a public festival was 
 one of the \etrovpyiai or public services imposed by the laws of Athens 
 on her wealthier citizens. Hence the word came to bear in Attic Greek 
 the general sense of equipment or preparation. Lucian's parents could 
 only afford to put him to some work which did not require a costly 
 preparatory training. 
 
 n-opov] means, resource, and hence as here 'earnings', 'wage*. So 
 we find TTO'/OOS xp^/xarwv, * a way of getting money '. 
 
 ws /ca<7Tos yv^fjiris f) fyireipias elxev] ' as they were severally ac- 
 quainted with or experienced in (this or that art)'. The intransitive xw 
 is often thus used with the relative genitive. Compare Toxaris 44 ws 
 ris ?) yevovs if) TrXourou i) Suvd/meus %x L > ' as ^ e * s situated in respect of 
 family, wealth, &c j . So Thuc I 11 3 ws eKarepwv TIS evvoias % 
 
NOTES. 69 
 
 17 e/>A*oyXu0os] a carver of Hermae. These were squared pedestals, 
 ending in busts of the god Hermes, the making of which was probably 
 one of the more mechanical departments of the sculptor's art. They 
 were very numerous in Greek towns, being set up at the corners of 
 streets, in temples and the doorways of houses. See Thuc VI 27. 
 Lucian's uncle, like many other sculptors, may have devoted himself to 
 their production. There would most likely be a steady demand for 
 them. See note on epfJLoy\v<piKrj in 12. 
 
 iS Xi0oo'os] a stonemason. In fact * sculptor' is almost too fine a 
 name for him. 
 
 ev rots judXi<rra] that is evdoKipois. Compare gallus 24 x^P as 
 
 ev TCUS fj.d\i(TTa QavfJidfeo-dai dias. 
 
 20 dXXd TOVTOV dye] ' so take this lad off'. dXXa is often used to intro- 
 duce the conclusion, after a proposition expressed or implied, the sense 
 being * well then '. Compare gallus I dXXd ff, KO.KHTT aXe/cr/wow, 6 
 Zeus auros e-jriTptyeie, dear dial 2 dXX' el KaL TI ij[jia.pTOv, c3 Zeu, <rvy~

 21 ep}JLoy\v(pta] another form = epfjLoy\v<t>oj> 
 
 Page 2, 
 
 *he was judging this by my playing with the wax*. 
 Compare Soph O T 916 rd Kaivd rocs ird\ai reK/ucuyoercu. 
 
 roD Krjpov] the article shews that the wax on his writ ing- tablets is 
 meant. 
 
 2 d7roeW civ... aVeVXaTToi'] the a*> goes -with the verb in a frequenta- 
 tive sense, as often. Compare piscator ri evrvyxavuv dv n<n 
 
 dvrjp&Twv, where there is as here a participle, to which the dV is 
 attracted. 
 
 3 /3o'as] the Attic form would be /Sous. Jacobitz. 
 
 4 eto6rws] naturally, in a lifelike manner. See piscator 38 e*onc6ras. 
 e<' ofs] on which = for which. See on 7 tirl \6yots. 
 
 5 7rX?77ds eXd/mpcLvov] the regular phrase in passive sense = eYuTrro/XT^, 
 which is not in common use. 
 
 rore] at the time of this meeting to decide upon young Lucian's 
 career. The word does not refer back to OTTOTC. Readers of Thucydides 
 will remember how often the word is thus employed by that author. 
 
 eira.iv os] a praise (that is, a ground for praising me) for my clever- 
 ness. 
 
 6 *ai ravra] even this moulding of figures in wax, for which I had 
 been whipped at school. 
 
 elx v ] l they had '; that is, the people who gave the Zirawos. 
 8 dir' iicelvris etc] 'judging at least from that habit of moulding'. 
 Or with Jacobitz, 'in consequence of that habit. 
 
?0 THE DREAM. 
 
 3. 
 
 &fia re ovv efioKei Kay& irapeded&fjnrjv'] 'so soon then as a day 
 
 was thought suitable for making a beginning of work, I was at once 
 (pluperf) handed over to my uncle '. This parallel arrangement of the 
 two clauses with re... Kal (or Kal simply), where we make the second 
 dependent, is perhaps even more common than that with p.v ... d^ 
 noticed in i. For the change of tense compare 14 girpie ... lirem^yet, 
 piscator 36 die\e\vro ... KareyeXdro. 
 
 10 M rbv Aid] fta anticipates the coming ofl. 
 
 11 ZX LJ '] * imply', * involve', * bring', as often. 
 
 12 ^\i/at6ras] simply 'companions', * playfellows '. So aequales in 
 Latin. 
 
 tirldeij-ur] opening for display. 
 
 (paLvoifjLrjv 7X1^0 COP] ' should be seen to carve '. The regular meaning 
 of <f>aLi>o}j,ou with a participle. Compare piscator 19 eiwep r) yvd/j.i] 
 6p6j] Kal diKata (paivoLro ov<ra, and note on 8. 
 
 14 ols irpoypotuyv] KCLTaffKevdfeiv avrd, *for those for whom I chose 
 to make them '. He writes the imperfect indicative, not the optative, 
 passing into direct narrative instead of making it dependent. 
 
 Kal r6 ye irpurov etc] ' and then that first start, which is (Kal) usual 
 with beginners, happened '. The imperfect shews that all the events of 
 this story happened in close connexion. 
 
 16 Ka0iK<T0ai] with genitive. It means to 'come down upon '= strike. 
 TrXa/cos] 7rXa is a flat stone, a slab. So amores 12 Zdafas... \LOwv 
 
 ir\a^l Xecus effrpu^vov. 
 
 17 eireiir&v etc] ' and he added the words of the proverb "well begun 
 is half done'". Jacobitz remarks that though Lucian elsewhere (Her- 
 motimus 3) ascribes the authorship of the sentence to Hesiod, yet 
 lamblichus assigns it to Pythagoras, and Polybius to the ancients 
 generally. Compare Horace epp I 2 40 dimidium facti qui coepit 
 habet. 
 
 1 8 KaTVyK6vTOS\ tfJLOV TOV CyKOTT^a. 
 
 11 Karrip^aro] 'initiated me' in a way not gentle nor yet encouraging. 
 The word is specially used of beginning the sacrifices, as Dem Midias 
 p 552 Kardp^ao-eat ruv iepwv, and hence of the ceremony of initiation 
 in the Eleusinian or other mysteries. It takes genitive of the victim, as 
 Aristoph Aves 959/^7? Kardp^y TOV rpdyov. Here it is humorously 
 put for ' made me pay my footing ', to use a workmen's phrase. 
 
 4. 
 
 33 wvexls] the neuter used adverbially, as often. Compare areves 
 in piscator 30, 46 and avve^ in gallus 9. 
 
 dva\twv] 'sobbing aloud*. A rare word. The simple verb is 
 better known ; see Aristoph Ach 690. 
 
NOTES. 71 
 
 24 5i?77oO/ucu rrjv ffKvrdXyv] that is, tell them how I was beaten with it. 
 The Greek is short and conversational. 
 
 25 
 
 26 5pacre] the indicative shews that he is reporting his own words, 
 or very nearly so. ^ vTrepfiaXwuai is also consistent with this. 
 
 27 dyavaKTrjffaiu.ev'rjs'] this middle form is almost cfora \ey6uevov. 
 
 30 rfyv a-KVTa\r)v ivvo(av\ I have adopted this clever conjecture of 
 Steigerthal for rrjv vtixO' o\i)v &vo(av, the common reading, tvvouv 
 absolutely used in the sense of 'reflecting', without some expressed 
 object, is an usage for which I can find no support. Sommerbrodt also 
 well urges that 14, 16 shew that Lucian laid great stress upon 
 the ffKVTd\rj. 
 
 5, page 3. 
 
 a Kal Trdvv] must be taken together, the Kal emphasizing the Trdvv. 
 Compare Kal /*a\a = ' very much ' in 7 and elsewhere. 
 
 *ci0' "Ofjt.rjpojf'] l in the manner of Homer '. The words are from 
 Agamemnon's speech Iliad II 56, and are referred to in like manner 
 by Lucian again in gallus 8. 
 
 9 &>auXos] ' is yet ringing in my ears '. Compare Plato Menex 235 b 
 Kat pot avTy 77 <re[ju>6Tr)s iroipa^veL Tj/mepas irXetw TJ rpeis* ou'rws gvav\os 
 6 \6yos re KCLI 6 (f)06yyos irapa TOV \yovros evdtierai els rd cJra, wVre 
 ftbyis rercipT'Q TJ irtfjurTy 'n^pg. dvafJUfJusrjo-KOjUiai e/^aurou Kal aladdvo^ai. ov 
 7^s eipL. The word seems to be derived from the flute (auX6s). 
 
 6. 
 
 10 TOLLV x^poiv] genitive 
 
 11 fJLLKpov] they were * within a little of. So 6\lyov dirtfavov in 
 Aristoph Ach 348 etc. The full phrase is probably Afyov or piKpov 
 del used parenthetically like cl^Xei, eu foOi, OVK ot5' SITUS and many 
 others. The Set is then dropped in conversation, and finally the genitive 
 becomes crystallized into an adverb. In 16 below and elsewhere we 
 find fjiucpov Set?, where the infinitive now parenthetic was probably at 
 first explanatory as in such expressions as pq.ffrtj eKfjLaOeiv 2 above. 
 
 13 cipri /*?.. .a/>ri 5] 'one minute the one would be getting the mastery 
 ...... and the next I would be held by the other in turn'. Compare 
 
 Nigrinus 4 Kal dpn fjL^v eXvTrovjuLrjv ..... aprt 5 aurct /JLV e56/cei JULOL 
 
 TaTreLva KOL Karay^\a<7Ta The dv has the same frequentative force as 
 in 2 dvir\a.TTov dv. 
 
 irapa fUKpbv] ' beside a little ' = ' except a little ' = ' almost '. Com- 
 pare Thuc VIII 76 4 Tra/o' eXax^rov drj i7X0e...a0eX&r0cu, IV 106 3 
 T7)j> 8 'Hibva irapa viJKra eyfrero \apelv. So often in Lucian. He has 
 the opposite in apolog de mere cond 4 r6 5 abv ou irapk 
 
 14 avOis] on the other hand, ' in turn '. 
 
72 THE DREAM. 
 
 15 auTTJs 6jra] l belonging to her*. For this possessive genitive compare 
 Aristotle's description of a slave, ds dv d\\ov -Q dvOpuiros wv. 
 
 1 6 KKTr)ff6ai] to have got = to possess. 
 
 J 8 TvXcjv] from TV\OS, a callus such as is produced on the hands of 
 hand-workers. 
 
 dif(t)(Tfj,ei>r)] girt-up : that is, with the cloak drawn over the shoulders 
 and wrapped round the loins so as to leave the arms free. This was the 
 custom of all who wanted to work in earnest. Compare with Sommer- 
 brodt de hist conscr 3 dta^ffd/mevos rb Tpi.(3wviov crirovdy /j.d\a Kal avTos 
 CKvXie TOV irLBov (said of Diogenes). 
 
 19 nrdvov] here the dust from cutting marble or stone. 
 
 2 1 rty dvapoXyv] the way of wearing her cloak. Compare Timon 54 
 KOffjuos rb jSaStoyAa Kal <rw<f>povtKbs TTJV dva^o\^v. So dvaj3d\\(?0at, 
 e7ri5^ia = towear the cloak thrown over the right shoulder. dva^oXij is 
 also used for the cloak itself. See piscator 12, 13, 31. 
 
 rAos] 'at last', a very common adverbial use. See 14. 
 
 22 ^0ta<7t] ' refer ' the decision to me. A technical expression in law, 
 for referring a suit on appeal to another court. Compare bis accus 12 
 TJV d TLS ddLKo. 8e5kct(rt?cu ofrfrai, efaaifjiov dyuvieiTai rty 
 
 rl TOV Aia. 
 
 7. 
 
 25 olicela] probably in two different shades of meaning 
 
 (1) 'related ' : so in Thuc IV 64 3 olKetoi = ^uyyevis t and 
 
 (2) 'fitting', 'suited': compare Plato Laws 772 e Set y&p 
 
 %/j,Trpoff6v TOV vofjiov irpooifuov olKeiov ^KaffTif) irpoTiOfrai. 
 Compare generally bis accus 17 where the Academy 
 says that Polemon was OLKGLOV tyol /cat TT\V <f>v<nv O^OLOV, 
 piscator 5, 20, 26, 37. 
 
 (rvyyevfy ohoBev'] ' of your own kin'; literally ' akin to you, starting 
 from the family '. 
 
 27 Kal paXa] see on 5 Kal irdvv. 
 
 28 \-t)puv Kal (f>\rivd<f>uv\ ' stuff and nonsense'. Such expressions are 
 repeatedly used by Lucian to mark the contempt felt (a) by the general 
 public, and (b) by himself, for the trifling rhetoric and empty philosophy 
 of their own day. Compare piscator 25 /u<ret<70cu irpos TWV iro\\v 
 ydij 7TTroir)Kv avTofa T TjfJLas Kal ff T7)v <f>L\o(ro(j)iav, <J)\r)i'd<f>ovs Kal

 Kal \bywv KOI \r)puv. 
 
 29 ruv irapd Tai^r^s] such as iraideLa supplies. 
 
 51 Optyv ycwLKus] 'you will grow up manly'. Optyij the middle 
 future is, as often, used like a passive. For TptQecrOai compare Iliad I 
 266 KdpTHTToi 5rj KelvoL cTTixOoviuv Tpdfav dvdpwv. For yevvucw Aristoph 
 Lys 1070 xupeiv yewiKus ' to march stoutly*. 
 
NOTES. 73 
 
 odious etc] with this passage compare the words of the SIKCUOS \6yos 
 in the Clouds of Aristophanes 1009 1020, where the old Athenian 
 training is said to ensure a lad w/xous peydKovs, y\wrrav (3aidv, while 
 the opposite result is predicted from the modern sophistical education. 
 Possibly Lucian may have had the passage in mind when he wrote 
 this. 
 
 Page 4. 
 
 i dXX6T/)ios] unsuited to, unconnected with. The word is just the 
 opposite to oi/cetos. Here it= * not exposed ' to malicious envy (<f>06vos). 
 otfTTore airet] as the rhetorical professors of Lucian's day were used 
 to do in search of fame. 
 
 3 ovSt twl \6yois... etc] ' nor again will all men praise you for words 1 . 
 This is added in bitter sarcasm, the suppressed antithesis being dXX' 
 CTT' />7ots, as Jacobitz remarks. Sommerbrodt compares for the ex- 
 pression Lexiphanes 22 eijrep dp 1 e^Xeis ws aKrjOus tiraivciffQai ezri 
 \byois KOV rots 7r\^6eatv evdoKt/JLeiv. For the tiri see on 1 1. 
 
 roO crx^aroj r6 6i3reXs] ' the meanness of my figure ', as a lowly 
 handworker. Compare piscator 31. 
 
 5 curb Toiotirwv 6p/j,ufj,evos] ' starting from such things '. We may 
 render it * with no better start than this, that Phidias displayed' 
 
 <I>ei5aj] of Athens. He lived about 500 438 B c, and was the 
 most famous of Greek sculptors. He was the friend of Perikles, and 
 was employed by that statesman in the adornment of Athens with 
 works of art. One of his chief works, if not his masterpiece, was the 
 great statue of Zeus Olympius executed by him in gold and ivory for 
 the temple at Olympia in Elis. 
 
 6 HoXtf/fXetTos] of Sikyon, a contemporary of Pheidias. The statue 
 of Hera at Argos was thought to be his masterpiece. His figures are 
 said to have possessed great beauty but to have been inferior in respect 
 of dignity. 
 
 7 Mtf/ow] of Eleutherae, settled at Athens, belongs to the same 
 period. He worked chiefly in bronze, and his favourite subjects were 
 athletes and brutes. 
 
 n/>an-A?7s] of Athens, about 368 336 B c. He worked especially 
 in marble, and was universally admired for the soft and charming grace 
 of his figures, a quality which he carried to perfection. His decided 
 abandonment of the stiffness of the Pheidian age and its accompanying 
 dignity was held however to mark a decline in the art of sculpture. 
 
 8 /xerot T&V 0ec3*>] * with their gods '. That is, the gods they made. 
 
 cl 7&>oio...56ets] a common form of condition in Lucian. Compare 
 gallus 1 6 el yap TL dyadbv e'er), dTrdyo/j,cu Tjdtj owurrds. 
 o vws ov] ' how not ? ' = ' assuredly '. 
 
74 THE DREAM. 
 
 10 ftyXwrdp] an object of friendly envy, j?Xos, not malicious envy, 
 <f>66vo$. See on 7 aXXor/uos. 
 
 1 2 5ta7TTaov<ra] ' stuttering*. The word marks her want of rhetorical 
 fluency, as pappapifrovva does that of grammatical correctness. 
 
 13 (rirovdff] with great effort =' hardly '. Compare Iliad v 893 rfy i&v 
 ey& (nrovdfj ddjULVTjfjC TT<T<JI.V. 
 
 awdpovcra] stringing together her words, that is, speaking continu- 
 ously. Demosthenes de Cor p 328 sneering at the fluency of Aeschines 
 says \6yovs avveipei TOIJTOVS (radios Kal dirvevcrTi. Compare Ar Eth VII 
 3 8 ol irpurov ftaOovres (rvveipovvi jj.kv roi>s \6yovs, foaai 5' oforw. 
 For the use of the word absolutely compare Lucian Prom 5 OVKOVV 
 di\6fjivoi TTJV KaTTjyopLav o~i> fJih Kepi T?}S K\OTT7]S 7]^ fffoeipe. See also 
 piscator 22. 
 
 1 6 TratoWa] ' Culture ', ' Liberal Education '. 
 
 17 o-vvrjQrjs (rot Kal yvwpifjLri] your intimate acquaintance. The meaning 
 must be that Lucian had received the education fitted for a child, and 
 hence knew something of elementary 7rcu5e/a. The woman iraideia in 
 the dream wants him to continue his acquaintance. 
 es T{\OS] to completion = ' fully '. 
 
 19 ovdtv OTL fjLjf] in no respect not = not a whit removed from, on is 
 neuter of 6'<ms as Sommerbrodt remarks, comparing Ikarom 9 
 oi/5v yap on ^ rots KUJ/JLIKO'LS Sopv(f>op7)fJLa(ni> ^ot/c6ras ai?roi>s dcrdyov(ru>. 
 It will be noticed that the /ATJ is, as often in Lucian, unbearable. 
 
 tv Toi/ry ...... redd/Afros] * with the whole hope of your life placed 
 
 in this '. Literally ' having set for yourself the whole hope of your 
 life in this'. The student must not forget that the perfect passive 
 is also perfect middle, remembering TreTrot^/aat and a host of others. 
 riBeaOal n v TIVL = to reckon one thing as existing in, or being 
 identical with, another thing. Compare Thuc I 35 3 & dtucfjuan 
 OfoovTai irei<r6vTwv vpuv a 5eo/xe0a, Soph Phil 473 aX\* h iraptpyy 
 
 60V fJL. 
 
 22 \a/jifiavwv\ that is, as fu<r86s. 
 
 23 ei/VeX^s TT\V TrpooSov] * making a mean show when you walk abroad '.

 strations. Lucian refers to Plato's habit of striking home with a passage 
 
 of highly- wrought beauty when an incomplete argument seems in danger 
 
 of becoming wearisome.

 4 Vopytav] Gorgias Polus Hippias and Prodicus were famous Sophists 
 contemporary with Socrates. Plato brings them in as characters in his 
 dialogues, only to be refuted each in their turn by Socrates, through 
 whose mouth Plato himself speaks. Prodicus was the author of the 
 famous fable called the 'choice of Hercules'. Sommerbrodt well 
 reminds us that he had the nickname 'clever' or 'sharp' (dewbs), and 
 that SeivoTpos OVTQS (said of Lucian) alludes to this. 
 
 5 ^Tr/Trarre ovv etc] 'throw in them a dash of your mock-modesty, and 
 put those neat connected questions of yours ; and, if you think fit, stick 
 in also that passage, how that the great Zeus in heaven driving his 
 winged car would take it ill were this man not to undergo his due 
 punishment '. 
 
 elpwvdas] the quality of the etpuv or dissembler, who does not pre- 
 tend to all that he might. The Socrates of Plato's dialogues employs 
 this appearance of humility to entrap unwary opponents into the expres- 
 sion of an opinion, which he then shews to be false by means of question 
 and answer. But the elpwvda is probably due quite as much to the real 
 Socrates as to any originality in Plato. 
 
 6 KOfjLipd KOL ffvvexr}] neat finish (TO K0fji\f/ov) is a striking characteristic 
 of the Platonic dialogues, and is attributed to them by Aristotle Pol n 6. 
 So also is the continuous stringing together of question and answer (TO 
 vvvexts) by which an opponent is led up to his own confutation.

 roy didXoyov] the Dialogue, a favourite form of composition with

 whom Lucian has beguiled into doing his will. This means that Lucian 
 has employed this form of writing for satirizing the philosophers. In

 complain of Lucian's having applied him to base uses (bis accus 33).

 a stage-metaphor intended here also. See de luctu 20.

 of the famous Diogenes. He was well known in his time for his clever 
 and biting jests upon the follies of men. Lucian often employs him as

 rb T&V 'IXclw] this was a proverbial expression, implying that a 
 man must bear the consequences of his own acts. The tale of Troy 
 was a very favourite subject on the Attic stage. Then the argument 
 runs thus : if the Trojans hired actors to play a tragedy, they could not 
 complain if their own troubles were the subject, as the chances are it 
 would be. So we have brought up Lucian to our bar, and we cannot 
 complain if he tells of the degradation of our sects and schools, painful 
 though the news may be. Jacobitz well compares pseudologistes 10

 sorrow, black and deep : Cocytus named of lamentation loud heard on 
 the rueful stream ; fierce Phlegethon, whose waves of torrent fire inflame

 Lethe (which Liddell and Scott deny too broadly) it will be best to

 He was therefore not unlike a Turkish pasha.

 XGCUS] the pouring of libations at tombs was a very ancient custom 
 and is continually referred to in the Greek writers. The dead were 
 supposed to enjoy honour and power among the spirit world in propor- 
 tion to the honour paid to their tombs by libations and other sacrifices. 
 This is especially brought out in the play of Aeschylus called %o??06poi. 
 There was also a notion that the spirits fed somehow on these libations 
 and offerings, especially on blood. See Odyssey x 516 540, xi 23 
 50, 88 9, 95 9. Compare the remarks of Lucian below 19, Charon 
 
 19 us et rip etc] 'since if any man has no friend or kinsman left behind

 25 v6fJiio-fjLa] anything sanctioned by usage; hence, the established 
 current coin of any state : which latter is the common meaning. Render 
 'without having first enquired the nature of the coin in use and currency 
 among those below, and whether an Athenian or Macedonian or Aegin- 
 etan obol passes for good with them, nor (reflected) that it had been far 
 better not to be able to pay their fare ; for then, the ferryman not hav- 
 ing received it, they would have been sent back to earth and come into 
 the world of men again '. 
 
 26 Suvarcu] seems here to be used simply = has force, is worth some- 
 thing. There were many currencies in ancient Greece. That of Aegina 
 was very ancient and widely adopted, dating back from the times when 
 the island was an independent state.

 uaXqi] alabaster. This may refer to the Aethiopians in Herodotus 
 III 24, who are said to place their dead in a hollow pillar of uaAos, 
 which being transparent allowed the body to be seen without any 
 unpleasant stink. But 7rept%/>tei is strangely used. We can only render 
 it 'anoints' or 'besmears'. Yet what the Aethiopians rubbed on 
 their dead was not the t/'aAos, but chalk or gypsum, which covering 
 they then painted to resemble the man before they put it in the upright 
 coffin of alabaster. 
 
 12 KCLTecrQiei] this horrible custom (eating the dead on principle) is

 3 K6<T[uov] 'orderly', 'controlled', hence 'discreet', 'sober*. The 
 word is about synonymous with (r&(f>pova.. Lucian is fond of it: see 
 somnium 6, 13, and K6o>tos in 10. He probably took this 
 ethical use of the word from Plato. See Phaedo pp 68 c, e, 83 e,

 = noble or morally right, and TO <Tv/jL<t>tpov the ' expedient '= material 
 interest. Some teachers dwelt more on the antagonism between 
 these, others on the reconciliation of their claims or even on the 
 identity of the two principles. They appear in Latin under the 
 names honestum and utile.

INDICES. 
 
The following indices have been worked out as nearly 
 perfect as time would allow. It seemed better to spend the 
 few days immediately preceding publication in collecting a 
 full index than in endeavouring to complete the system of

 respectively for the four pieces contained in the book. The 
 numbers refer to sections.
