TO THE EEADER.
This work lias been undertaken, not so mucli from
a paucity of editions of the most popular and bril-
liant play of Aristophanes, as in defence of the old
text, which, as it seems to me, has in many places
been altered, without sufficient reason, not only by
the German, but by their too obsequious followers,
the English editors. I am well aware that to recall
generally rejected readings may seem to some not
only presumption, but a retrogression in scholarship.
What strikes me, however, so strongly, brought up
as I have been in the old-fashioned school of verse-
writing, is not only the needlossness (though that is
often very apparent), but the want of poetic
feeling shown in many of the changes introduced.
In saying this, I would not be understood as
speaking of Aristophanes alone. Some changes,
of course, are necessary, and many are such as
commend themselves at once to every editor nf
judgment and taste. But others imply a caprice
which seems to let nothing alone, and which has led
the authors of them habitually t(j indulge in inge-
nious guesses, without possessing (as it seems to me)
that correct sense of fitness and iliythmical harmony
whicli are essential conditions of sober criticism.

IV TO THE READER.
Dr Holden will forgive me for expressing my sur-
prise that so sound and sober a scholar should so
meekly bow to the dictates of Meineke and Cobet.
The otherwise excellent edition of Albert Muller
(to which all succeeding editors must look for a full
record of various readings and conjectures, as well
as for a coj)ious apparatus of references and exe-
getical notes) is too often liable to the charge of
altering the MS. readings without due cause. Our
own Elmsley was, like the sagacious and judicious
])obree, often successful, and some of his corrections
are evidently right : but of a large number of his
alterations, as indeed of Dobree's, it is impossible to
say more than that they are good readings in their way,
and if one was treating an old writer as a teacher
treats a schoolboy's exercise, one might be willing
enough to accept them. No critic perhaps has
indulged in wilder guesses than Hamaker ^ ; and yet
both Meineke and Dr Holden seem to show a respect
for them which I, for one, am unable to feel. It
appears to me that a conjecture ought not to be
admitted merely because it is possibly or even pro-
bably true, unless the MSS. readings are, on metrical
or grammatical grounds, certainly or most probably
corrupt, — a canon which, rightly interpreted, would
eliminate at least half of the alterations that have
found a place in the texts of the Greek poets ^ Mr

TO THE READER. V
Blaydes seems to commence with the assumption
that MSS. are generally very corrupt, and -wholly
untrustworthy; and that some one or other of a
series of ingenious conjectures has a better chance
of being right. On this subject I entirely agree
with Mr Rogers ' : " Modern German criticism, as
regards Aristophanes at least, is calculated rather to
display the ingenuity of the critic, than to improve
the text of the author. Alterations are introduced,
without any semblance of authority or probability,
apparently for no other reason than that they would,
in the opinion of the editor, have done as well as
the received and authorized reading." Fortunately
(he adds) each succeeding editor sweeps away thf
emendations of his predecessor, so that we have
a corrective process constantly going on that tends
to bring us back to the old texts*.

sent play. In v. 347, ifx^Wtr dp airavrei ivaatUiv {io7]v has been

ear, and (as I hrii)e I liavo Hh()^vll in the note) wholly unnecessary

believe, that the poet wrote in^Wtr dp' ivrfjaeiv irod' vp.us rqs (io'js.

VI TO THE READER.
A play so full of difficulties and political al-
lusions as the Acharnians cannot be really ex-
plained by the short and rather scant notes which
Mr Green and Mr Hailstone have given in their
expurgated school-manuals. Young students are too
apt to suppose (which is a great delusion) that all is
simple and straightforward that is not commented
upon in the editions they use. On the other hand,
the length to which A. Muller's notes extend is likely
to deter all but the more careful and industrious stu-
dents from using his otherwise learned and exhaust-
ive work. Mr Mitchell's book is copious in illustra-
tion, and shows great appreciation of the author's
meaning and wit, but it is of no value whatever as a
critical edition. Not only of this play, but of all the
comedies of Ai'istophanes it may be said, that there
is ample room for a good annotated edition inter-
mediate between the two extremes of brevity and
prolixity, — avoiding on the one hand (as far as is
possible in writing English notes) verbosity and
which, if changed into trochaics hy the addition of ?ij)es cretinis,
would give exactly the same position in the verse for tviV KicpaK-qv.
In truth, an anapaest is by no means uncommon in this place in
the comic senarius ; and we have no right whatever, because
a second example happens to be wanting, to exclude it from
a comic trochaic. Yet even Porson and Elmsley woiild alter Tr,v
Kicpakriv to Tov KicpaXov (the joke of which I do not pretend to
explain), while Miiller admits into his text a conjecture of

superfluity of explanation, on the other hand, leaving
nothing unexplained. Such has been my object in
preparing this as well as the edition of the Peace
already published in the same form. I have con-
sulted, I think, all the notes and commentaries
that are really useful, including a careful perusal of
the Scholia. In not a few passages, as it seems to
me, the true sense has been overlooked, or misun-
derstood, and I have endeavoured in such cases to
throw some new light on the meaning of the author.
Though I admit with regret that some passages
in this play are not tit for school-reading, I never-
theless object altogether to expurgated editions, as
serving no really good purpose, while they misre-
present or pervert the whole tenor and character of
a play. No young student need read verses that
are certain not to be set nor in any way asked for :
every one can read them in the cheap texts of
Aristophanes that are so readily procurable. Jokes
(tf this kind are generally as silly* as they are
coarse ; they are fitted only to give pleasure to the
mob for whom they were meant, and no well-regu-
lated mind will dwell on them with delight. I think
it better to let an ancient author (if he is to be read
at all) speak for liimself, than to attempt to make
him appear moral when he is not so.
It lias been part of my plan to discuss briefly

such readings as seemed of sufficient importance to
require notice. I have adhered to the method
I have always followed, of making such remarks
part of the general commentary, though the custom
of writing critical notes separately, and in Latin,
lias some undoubted advantag'es. The disadvantajye
is, that nine out of ten students never look at
separate critical notes at all. In revising the text
I have compared throughout the readings of all the
good editions of this play, Dr Holden generally
takes Meineke for his guide : on the whole, I much
prefer Bergk's text to any other, and I have followed
him in the main, though rejecting some of the
alterations which even he, by no means an inno-
vator^, has adopted. The Eavenna MS. (R) on the
whole has been my guide rather than the Paris A,
which in this play appears to be of next authority.
In the country dialects of the Megarian and the
Boeotian, the variety of readings in the MSS. and
the paucity of Inscriptions of the period combine to
make conjectural emendation doubly difficult. This
part of the play has been a fertile field for critical
sagacity; but the harvest, from the very diversity of
opinions, has been a poor one, and it seems best on
the whole to adhere to the most approved MS.
^ Bergk saj^s in his Preface (Ed. Teub. 1867), " Sediilo operam
dedi ut oratio Ai'istophanea quam maxime ex librorum optimorum
auctoritate restitueretur ; itaque baud raro malui locum aperte
dcpravatum intactum relinquere quam pro arbitrio aut i^raecep-
tarum opinionum gratia immutare." I have only carried out this
principle a little further than himself.
TO THE READER. ix
readings, even witliout having entire confidence in
their correctness. I think Bergk has shown a sound
discretion in rejecting most of the unauthorized
changes. It is evident that, even if we had more
Boeotian and Megarian Inscriptions, they would he
no guide to the patois of the country-folk, nor can
much aid be obtained from the broad Doric which
prevails in so large a part of the Lysistrata. Nor,
again, is it possible to feel assured that the poet
himself in all cases correctly wrote the words he
may have heard in the conversation of Doric peasants
in the Athenian agora. To the ordinary student,
the exact orthography of provincial Greek words is
of much less moment than it is to the philologist.
In a work intended for the former, it seemed tho
less necessary to exercise the critical office too
rigidly in this particular part of the play, which
may be allowed to have come down to us in a less
satisfactory condition.
The dialogue at the end of the play between
Lamachus and Dicaeopolis seems also in some parts
corrupt; but the changes adopted by Miilh'r on
metrical grounds are too violent to be safely followed.
I have mentioned in the notes the most probable of
them ; though I am aware that these are matters of
but little interest to orflinary readers. Few English
students now undergo that special training in ciiti-
cism that has always been characteristic of German
scholarship. We retain, it is true — though contrary
to the judgment of many — the practice of Greek and

Latin verse-composition ; but our classical studies of
late years have taken a different direction, and phi-
lology, history, and philosophy are the most usual
subjects of our lectures and examinations. As a
consequence, we seem to pay less attention to those
niceties of metre and syntax which engaged the acute
and observant minds of Person, Dawes, Elmsley, and
Dobree. This school has its latest representatives
in Germany in Madvig and Cobet, Many of their
proposed alterations may seem improbable and un-
necessary; but they have earned the respect and
gratitude of English scholars, and their works are
an encouragement to the somewhat relaxing interest
in close verbal scholarship, by proving that classical
criticism is still thought worthy of being made the
lifelong labour of the profoundest intellects and the
most accomplished minds.

The Comedy called, from the persons composing the
Chorus, ^A'^apvrj'i, i. e. townsmen of the large and
important Attic deme which had suffered so severely
from the ravages of the Spartan king, Archidamos
(Thucyd. II. 19), was brought out at the Lenaea^ in
the Archonship of Euthydemus^ B.C. 425, in the sixth
year of the War. Between the capture of the port
(jf Megara by Athens in the year 427 (Tliuryd. iir.

(Thuc. IV. 101, Ach. 134), but three years intervene.
The express mention of the sixth year (Ach. 2Ct),
890) fixes the date at the precise point between
these historical limits. Like the two preceding
plays, the Jianffieters (AairaXei^;) and the Baby-
lonians, which latter had appeared the year before',
the Acharnians was brought out under another

SO are unknown, and cannot be certainly explained'.
The Banqueters, perhaps, was exhibited by Philo-
nides^, who also brought out the Wasps and the
Frogs. The Bahylonians and the Acharnians were
given to Callistratus, a friend of the poet's, though
whether a comic author, like Philonides, or only an
actor, uTTo/cpiT?;?, has been doubted ^ It seems pro-
bable that both were well-known as writers of
comedy, though nothing is recorded about Callistra-
tus*. The first play which Aristophanes brought
out in his own name was that exhibited the year
afterwards, the Cavaliers (or Knights), 'iTTTret?, a
play which the author was evidently engaged upon
when the Acharnians was acted^ In the Clouds
(531) he jocosely compares the disowning of his own
plays to an infant put out to nurse.
1 A. Miiller (Praef. p. vii.) remarks that the custom was not
altogether new, the three Tragic poets having allowed younger
relations to exhibit plays composed by themselves.
^ Ranke, De Vit. Arist. in ed. Meiueke, p. xx., "Initio omnia
eo ducere videntur, ut a Philonide Daetalenses doctam esse suma-
mus." He remarks, that though frequent reference is made in
the Acharnians to the Babijlovians, there is not the slightest
allusion to the Banq'ueters. This play therefore, he sujiposes to
have been given to a different exhibitor. But Bergk and A.
Miiller consider that Callistratus brought out all the three plays
preceding the'lTTTrfis.

PREFACE. XIU
The Acharnians gained the first prize, Cratinus
being second and Eupolis third, the one witli the
'Ketfia^6fx,€voi, the other with the Novfxr]vlai. Its
object is essentially a political one, which was to
expose the folly and injustice of the War-party as
represented by Cleon, Lamachus and Alcibiades,
who was just then coming into notice \ and even by
Pericles, as the author of the MeyapiKcv y{rrj(f)icr/jia,
by which the Doric neighbours of Athens had been
excluded from the market". The poet takes a fair
view of the position between both the belligerents.
If the Athenians had been ^vronged by the Lacedae-
monians, by their destructive raids on the farms^,
the Lacedaemonians were wronged by the Megaric
decree, wliich the Athenians had refused to rescind
at their special request*, and by their eager and
inconsiderate haste to rush into war^
It is evident that in the Bahylonians the policy
of Athens under the leadership of Cleon had been im-

the ambition of Athens ; but this is a partiiil view of the ease. The
aggressive sentiment, partly fear, partly hatred, was on tlic side of
the Pcloponnesians, who were not ignorant that Atliens desired

pugned, and tlie pressure of the democratic influence
on the subject states had been severely exposed,
probably with marked reference to the then recent
event of the cruel punishment of the Mytilenians that
had been advocated by Cleon for their imsuccessful
revolt \ That Cleon himself had been attacked by
the poet we must infer, not only from the general
sketch and purport of the Babylonians as given in
the Parabasis of the present play^, but from the
known fact, more than once alluded to in the play
itself*, that Cleon prosecuted the author of it (viz.
.either Aristophanes or Callistratus, it is uncertain
which) for speaking evil of the government in the
presence of the allies. It is probable, from the
expression in v. 879, e/o-eX/cucra? 'yap jx e? to /3ov-
XevTijpiop, that the process called elarayyeXca was the
form of the action adopted on this occasion. From

towards its allies was generally reasonable, and no attempt was
made to force on them a democratic constitution. The natural
love of aiiTovopiia and the agitation of the oligarchical factions
against the Athenian rule were probably the main causes of dis-
.satisf action. See Thuc, i. 77, which is a defence against the

the triumphant tone of the poet in alluding to this
event, it is clear that Cleon had failed in getting a
verdict against him. No less a principle, in truth,
was involved than what we should now describe as
the censorship versus the freedom of the press.
CJleon therefore was as determined to put down
Aristophanes, as Aristophanes was to maintain the
right of publicly assailing the faults or follies of the
government. The persistent attack on Cleon both
in the Acharnians and in the Knights was met by
an action for ^evia or alien birth, one of the com-
monest forms of avKocpavTta brought against obnox-
ious citizens with a view to their being declared
ctTLfiot^. The poet evidently thought the attempt to
silence him was unjust. For he alludes to his own
motives as just with repeated emphasis ; and if he
was conscious that his conduct was fair and upright,
he could have regarded Cleon's enmit}^ in no other
light than that in which Plato regarded the death of
Socrates. Not ouly is the peace-loving country-

him^ nay, even if all the world is against him"''; and
he adds, that " even Comedy knows what justice is\"
Part of this self-devotion to the cause of justice is
the frequent reproach he throws on the Athenians for
not seeing that they were themselves to blame for
the war fully as much as the Spartan party*. He
blames their vanity and their foolish compliance
with any demand accompanied by compliments to
their city^ It would seem that he had warned his
countrymen in the Babylonians against listening to
the specious appeals of the ambassadors from the
Leon tines, the chief of whom was Gorgias^ On the
whole then Aristophanes stands before us as one
who has dared to say an unpopular truth, who has
attacked a popular minister, who has been made a
martyr to his own patriotism, and now asks the support
of the right-minded (Se^toi) of his countrymen against
the oppression of the powerful and overbearing''.

PREFACE. XVU
That Dicaeopolis sj^eaks throughout in the per-
son of Aristophanes, cannot be doubted. He is even
made to say that now at least Cleon will not pro-
secute him^, and that he was dragged before the
Boule by Cleon ^ Between Dicaeopolis and Ari-
stophanes CalKstratus intervenes, and thus the third
party assumes the character of the first. It does not
appear altogether improbable that Aristophanes him-
self acted the part of Dicaeopolis, and was known to
the audience to have done so.
If we could show this, we should directly obtain
some personal characteristics of the poet, — his small
size and deficiency in physical strength ^ as we know
that he was bald and had a * shiny ' forehead \
Ranke however denies that the poet himself ever
was an actor'. There are difficulties in this question
estimate of ThucyJidcs, in. 36. Aristophanes speaks of him as an
absolute monster, a sort of hydra to be attacked and overcome,
Pac. 755. His accusation he calls a bia^oKri, Ach. 380, 502, 630.
* V. 502. From the tone of the passage we might not unreason-
ably infer that the play was acted at the Lenaea expressly to render
Cleon's former charge nngatorj-. But the lUniqiteters apjirars
from V. 1 155 to have been acted at the Lenaea, as the intermediate
play, tho HiihijIoiiiaiiH, certainly was at the City Dionysia, or
Cleon's charge, of npeaking evil of the city before btrangcro, could
not have been sustained.

which it is not easy to solve\ If it was notorious
that Aristophanes was the author, why should he
bring it out in another's name ? And if Callistratus,
not Aristophanes, was the person prosecuted by Cleon
lor the Babylonians, ^YOuld CalHstratus have incurred
a second risk by lending his name to the Acharniansi
Could Aristophanes have asked him to do so ? A.
Miiller thinks that Cleon was well aware who was
the real author of the Babylonians, and that he
brought the action against Aristophanes himself^.
At all events, he contends, if the action was brought
in the name of Callistratus at first, the poet must
have come forward and avowed the authorship in
defence of his friend.
The motives which induced Aristophanes to
bring out his first three plays in another's name are
perhaps truly avowed in a well-known passage^,
1 It is remarkable that not only Dicaeopolis passim but even the
Chorus more than once seem to speak in the character of the poet.
In V. p,co the Chorus, who are as yet on the side of the war-party,
declare through their Coryphaeus that they hate Dicaeopolis worse
than they hate Cleon, "whom," says the speaker, "I will yet cut
into shoe-leather for the play of the Cavaliers (Knights)/' Again
in 1 155 the same Coryjjhaeus says that Antimachus when Choragus
at the Lenaea shut him out when he was diniug (8eLTryi2v), i.e.
excluded him from the feast given at the iinviKia, in honour of the
victory. Miiller argues that Aristophanes must be meant, and the
occasion alluded to must be the success of the AatraXets, since the
Babylonians was acted at the City Dionysia, and Callistratus, as
the exhibitor, could not possibly have been passed over at the

where he says his friends had expressed their sur-
prise that he had not long ago ' asked for a chorus,'
i.e. brought out a play, on his own account. The
reason, he says, was his consciousness of the fickle-
ness of popular favour, and his reluctance to court a
popularity which in some of his contemporaries had
been short-lived. The patriotic desire, avowed in the
CloucW, to elevate Comedy above the low buffoonery
and the open indecency'^ which had hitherto charac-
terised it, and to make it, like its sister Tragedy, a
means of imparting to the citizens at once infor-
mation and counsel on political matters, was also too
hazardous to be attempted by one avowed author.
He seems therefore to have watched the experiment
while another performed it for liiin. It may have
been known to, or at least suspected by, some, and
probably by Cleon himself, that Aristoplianes was
the real author : but it dues not follow that the
poet himself wished the fact to become known.
Cleon, no doubt, in prosecuting Aristophanes or his
representative Callistratus, thought to nip in the
real author of tl»e tbree preccdinn plftys. Aftrr all, tljo natural

bud this new growth, so pregnant with danger to
himself, and so Ukely to damage his influence by-
diminishing his popularity \ But the theatre proved
too strong even for Cleon. The failure of his prose-
cution is sufficiently shown by the jubilant and
defiant tone which the poet assumes in referring to
it^ In the Clouds he even speaks of sparing Cleon,
and not trampling on him when he was down^ In
the Wasps* au action brought against the poet con-
sequent on the Kniglits appears to be meant; and
to judge by the context, Aristophanes made some
apology, in consideration of which Cleon, mindful
perhaps of his former failure, did not press the
prosecution further^.
Thus it is plain that the relations between Cleon
and Aristophanes were those of uncompromising hos-
tility, on grounds both personal and political. It
was the tug of war between the liberty of the stage
and the attempt of an autocrat to stop it. Even
after Cleon's death, an event which he alludes to in

the Peace as a real blessing to the stated he speaks
of him as the barking Cerberus in the world below,
who may yet return to earth to disturb the city. It
was too much to expect that the character of such a
man should be represented to us with perfect fair-
ness by one so openly an enemy as Aristophanes.
It is more difficult to explain the cause of the
relentless animosity with which the poet assailed
Euripides in this and many others of his plaj^s, and
even after his death, twenty years later, in the
Frogs^. Whether the reasons of his dislike were
personal or political, — the jealousy of a rival for
popular favour, or the partisanship of a faction which
hated Euripides, Socrates, and Alcibiades, — we cannot
tell. The latter seems the less likely if, as we believe,
Euripides was an adherent to the peace-party. In
none of the plays is he so unmercifully satirised as
in the Acharnians, though strictly in relation to his
tragic art'. We are perhaps too apt to regard tragedy
and comedy as different in their nature*, and there-
fore hardly to appreciate the feeling of rivalry that

may have existed between competitors for popular
favour in these two departments of the Attic Drama.
It is possible too that Aristophanes joined the side
of those who thought the opinions of the tragic poet
innovating and dangerous\ One thing seems certain,
and the result is rather a curious one, — that the
satire of Aristophanes has done more in compa-
ratively late times in the general depreciation of Eu-
ripides as a poet, than it was able to effect with any
of the schools of Greek Grammarians, who appear
to have preferred Euripides to both Aeschylus and
Sophocles.
One character appears prominently in the pre-
sent drama, respecting whom history is almost silent
till the Sicilian expedition, ten years later, — the
burly hero of the Gorgon-shield, jocosely called

p. 447; "Euripides in the legitimate issues of his principles
ooinoided with the coutomporary political and philosophical
radicalism, and was the first and chief apostle of that new
cosmopolitan humanity which hroke up the old Attic national
life. This was the ground at once of that opposition which
the profane and non-Attic poet encountered among his contem-
poraries, and of that marvellous enthusiasm, with which the
younger generation and foreigners devoted themselves to the
poet of emotion and of love, of apophthegm and of tendency, of
philosophy and of humanity. Greek tragedy in the hands of
Euripides stepped beyond its proper sphere and oonsequentlj-
broke down : but the success of the cosmopolitan poet was only
promoted by this, since at the same time the nation also stepped
beyond its sphere and broke down likewise. The criticism of
Aristophanes probably hit the truth exactly both in a moral
and in a poetical point of view." He adds, " the new Attic
comedy did nothing but transfer Euripides into a comic form."

His name does not occur in Thucydides till the
year 422 (iv. 75), when we read of his making
rather a dashing adventure in effecting a retreat by
land from Heraclea on the Pontus to Chalcedon.
From the allusion to his /Jn.ardo(f)opia^ it Avould seem
that he had held the post of sti'ategus or envoy on
some of the numerous embassies, and that a deter-
mined hatred of the Lacedaemonians was one of his
characteristics*. In the Pax also he is one of the
chief opponents of the peace*. From the frequent
mention of him in Aristophanes" we can hardly
doubt that he was a daring and active promoter of
the war at the early period to which the Acharnians
refers. His death is recorded in Thuc. vi. lOl*"',
under circumstances so similar to those described,
in comic joke, in Ach. 1178, that the suspicion
entertained on other grounds of the spuriousness of
the latter passage is thereby much increased : it is
either an ex post facto description or a very singular
coincidence^.

blance to that of the Peace, wliich was brought out
four y«ars later, B.C. 421. In both plays a country-
man complains and laments that he has been a
grievous sufferer by the war ; in both Pericles and
Cleon are blamed as the authors, one as originating,
the other as promoting it; in both a special truce is
made for the private benefit of the farmer, and both
conclude with an amusing contrast between the
blessings of peace, and the horrors and losses of war.
The Knights, — it has been remarked by Mr Grote, —
makes no such complaint about the war, though it
equally, if not more bitterly, assails Cleon. The
victory of the Athenians at Pylos under Cleon and
Demosthenes had so raised the hopes of Athens,
and so depressed those of Sparta, that for the time
no thought seems to have been entertained at
Athens, but that the enemy must now succumb, and
leave the victory in the hands of the Athenians.
Hence they refused all overtures of peace from
Sparta, for which the poet blames them in Pax 665.
"The utter disgust for the war which marks the
' Acharnians,' a comedy exhibited about six months
before the victory of Kleon, had given way before
the more confident and resolute temper shown in
the play of the ' Knights 'V
The blame of the war in both plays is thrown
upon Pericles as the author of the ' Megaric Decree,'
which was proposed by or through him'', and passed

shortly before the outbreak of actual hostilities.
The unjust and oppressive treatment of this small
Doric state, according to the poet's view, did more
than anything to keep up the irritation between the
probably carried in the summer of 432 b. c. It is to be ■vrished
that -we knew more clearly the feelings of Aristophanes towards
the great statesman. He died however early in the war (b.c.
429), and so we lose sight of one who was the real adviser of it
without finding any great censure cast upon his memory by the
poet, who seems to have regarded him as an influential statesman
only, but Cleon, his rival and successor, as a formidable dema-
gogue. Mr Grote remarks (v. p. 441), "not only Pericles did
not bring on the war, but he could not have averted it without
such concessions as Athenian prejudice as well as Athenian
patriotism peremptorily forbade." According to Thucydides, i.
79, it was Sparta that deliberately chose the war : so that nothing
remained for Pericles but to direct it. Mr Grote adds that the
comic writers hated Pericles, but were fond of acknowledging
his powers of oratory and his long-unquestioned supremacy (p.
435). In Equit. 283 he seems mentioned with a qualified kind
of praise. Of course, if Cleon was the enemy and rival of
Pericles (Grote, p. 396), the poet was likely to side with Pericles,
except only so far as he thought him instrumental in promoting
the war. The main object which Pericles had before him in
advising the war, or rather in meeting it as a necessity, was the
honour of Athens. It seemed to him impossible to consent to the
final demand of the Lacedaemonians (Thuc. i. 139), " to leave the
Hellenes independent." This, as Mr Grote remarks (v. p. 370),
" went to notliing less than the entire extinction of the Atlieuian
empire." Cleon, while an opponent of Pericles, and yet an
advocate of war, appears to have joined the eido of those who
objected to the dilatory policy of Pericles; while Aristophanes
was one of a third — doubtless a large and influential — i>arty who
objected to the war-policy altogether. Cleon, with all his faults
as a demagogue, was, as he soon proved himself, a man of action ;
and as such lie was certain to opjioHo what seemed to liiin tlio
pusillanimous counsel to let the enemy ravage Attica while tho

Ionic and the Doric races. For by successive raids
into Megaris, repeated every year till the capture of
Nisaea\ as well as, not to say mainly, by the latter
event, the Megarians had been reduced to such
poverty from the interruption of all trade with
Athens, that they had induced the Lacedaemonians
to appeal to Athens in their behalf; but such was
the exasperation of the Athenians against the Me-
garians that they refused any concession, alleging as
reasons some causes which seem to have little real
weight'^ Albert Miiller, in his brief but learned
Preface ^ expresses his regret that no ancient writer
has explained the exact relations between the Athe-
the other hand, appears to have felt that the Spartan hoplite was
really the better soldier in the open field, and to have anticipated
a crushing defeat in a land engagement with so numerous and
well-disciplined a force. See Mr Cox, Hist. ii. p. 121.
Pericles was "only the first citizen in a democracy, esteemed,
trusted, and listened to, more than anyone else, by the body
of citizens, but warmly opposed in most of his measures, under
the free speech and latitude of individual action which reigned
at Athens, even bitterly hated by many active political opponents "
(Cirote, p. 360). One of these was Thueydides the son of Me-
lesias, alluded to in Ach. 703, respecting whom Mr Grote observes
" we do not know the incident to which this remarkable passage
alludes, nor can we confirm the statement which the Scholiast
cites from Idomeneus to the eiJect that Thueydides was banished
and fled to Artaxerses."
^ Thuc. II. 31. Megara had been active in kindling the war,
expecting Athens must soon yield ; but the Athenians under
Pericles marched into Megaris, and devastated the territory :
and this went on for some time. See Grote, Vol. v. p. 400.

nians and the Megarians, from their first alliance
with Athens in the third Messenian war (B.C. 461),
up to the passing of the Megaric Decree. He thinks
it probable that the Athenians never forgave the
defection of the Megarians to the Lacedaemonian
side after the defeat of Athens at the battle of
Coronea, B.C. 445 \ It may therefore be taken as
one proof of the boldness of the poet in taking an
unpopular side, that he should so touchingly re-
present the misery of the Megarians, and so plainly
charjje the Athenians with being the cause of it'^
He comes forward under the name of Dicaeopolis to
protect them against the odious <TVKo<\)dvrai, whom
he denounces as the pest of Athens'. As regards
the Boeotians, who both in this play and in the
Peace* are represented as equally excluded from the
Athenian markets', Miiller regards the suspension

Lacedaemonians into Attica, as the more treacliorously made on
account of his absence. He returned from Enboea with all

of their trade as resulting from the invasion of the
Thebans into Plataea in the year 431 \ The same
year therefore saw the beginning of the war and the
exclusion of these two peoples from Athens ; and we
can hardly wonder that the poet combined the
events as cause and effect. Add, that it was in this
year that the Athenians were persuaded to retire
within their own walls by the well-meant, but ques-
tionable advice of Pericles; so that trade-supplies
were still further curtailed by the interruption of
all farming operations. That the Megarians had
been shut out of the market even before the Me-
garic Decree, is the opinion of A. Muller^
The account given by the poet (515 seqq.) of the
reasons which induced Pericles to pass the decree
are, in the opinion of A. Miiller, mere idle gossip.
"Sine dubio fictae sunt, et fortasse Acharnensium
tempore ab irrisoribus petulantibus Athenis circum-

about the anecdote given in the Peace*, where the

alleged as the cause of the war\ What the real
motive was for that untoward measure is not dis-
tinctly stated. The reasons alleged by Thucydides^
are not grounds for passing the decree, but grounds
for refusing to rescind it. It seems probable that
the motive was one of combined hatred for their
revolt, and of vengeance for the murder of the
herald Anthemocritus, who had been sent by the
advice of Pericles to expostulate with the Megarians
on one of the two points mentioned by Thucydides,
the occupation of some sacred land belonging to the
Eleusinian goddesses ^
The allusion to Aspasia and her influence over
Pericles^ is remarkable, and is probably another of
1 "The stories about Pheidias, Aspasia, and the Megarians,
even if we should grant that there is some truth at the bottom
of them, must, according to Thucydides, be looked upon at
worst as concomitants and pretexts rather than as real causes
of the war; though modern authors in speaking of Pericles are
but too apt to use expressions which tacitly assimie these stories
to be well-founded." (Grote, Hist. v. p. 442.) See also Mr Cox,

are left to conclude from the context that it was by
Aspasia's persuasion and influence that the measure
was adopted.
Ranke^ regards the Acliarnians as "oratio quae-
dam popularis in theatro habita," to show the folly
of the war advocated and promoted by Cleon. Ari-
stophanes, as the personal enemy of Cleon, and as
disliking the war in common with a large part of
the Athenian populace^ was sure to take up the
theme with energy, and to treat it with genius and
biting sarcasm. His satire on the embassies* to the
Persian court and to Thrace must have been most
telling.
The division of the Chorus into two conflicting
parties [rnjui'xppM), the one convinced of the blessings
of paace, the other at first full of Vengeance against
the Spartans, is a device of the poet's similarly
employed in the Wasps, where Philocleon and his son
discuss at length the merits and demerits of the office
of Dicast. The subject is thus as it were ventilated,
and arguments in themselves utipopular with one
party are made to seem natural, and so to obtain

of a most critical^ period of Attic history. The state-

for ridiculing the prologues of
Euripides, and perhaps tlie
pedigree of Socrates, comes
Budilenly in, and asks whetlicr

by the usual invitation of tlie

long or short, and so also in

must be long, unless we read

e(j>65ia, 'journey-money,' allow-
ance for going to Sparta to
make peace. The satire, of
course, is directed at the iu-
difference of the authorities in
making peace. Inf. 130, Dicae-
opolis gives Amphitheus eight
drachmas (five shillings) out of
his own means. The satire
was felt by the authorities, for
the bowmen (police on guard
in the assembly) are summoned
by the crier to drag away the
speaker. Miiller remarks "ta-
cere jubetur Amphitheus, quia
de pace loquitur." This is
somewhat confirmed by what
follows. Dicaeopolis mounts
the bema, and protests against
a citizen being removed because
he wished to speak about a
truce. o(TTis 7J0e\e, cum voluerit.

asked, 'Will the King send us

indicate that the envoy and
Pseudartabas were acting in
collusion. Perhaps however the
two pretended eunuchs are in-
cluded, inf. 1 1 7, the envoy being
avowedly an Athenian. Dicaeo-
polis shrewdly detects the pecu-
liar fashion of the Greek nod of
assent and dissent, and boldly
asserts that they are both Athe-
nians in disguise. By di'a-
veveiv a throwing back of the
head was expressed (which is
said to be the custom of some
modern Greeks), the contrary
motion, i-mvfveiv, being the
same as we still use in nodding
assent. Seeiuf. 6ti. In Eccl.

man of disreputable character,
and ridiculed for shaving his
beard (Equit. 1374. Nub. 35,:;.
Thesm. 235, 575. Ean. 48,
422), is here chosen as about
the last man who should play
the part of a eunuch, since eu-
nuchs do not grow beards at all.
119. The MSS. give e^evprj-

' Do you go on sending envoys

KexvveTe (the present imp. from

was really an envoy to Thrace;
it was enough to hold him up
as an dXa^wv, 'an impostor,'
like the other 7rp^o-/3ets. — StrdX-
Kovs, from Sitalces son of Teres,
and king of the Thracian
Odrysae. He had made a treaty
with the Athenians b.c. 431,
and they in return had pre-
sented his son Sadocus with the
citizenship (inf. 145). See
Thuc. II. 29, and iv. loi, where
the death of Sitalces b.c. 424 is
recorded. Theorus therefore
is represented as having been
absent six years, which he
justly calls ttoXw xpo''ov. — e/cr-
KTjpvTTerai, 'is being ushered

the Assembly. — This, like most
of the remarks of Dicaeopolis,
is supposed to be said aside, orin-
dignautly addressed to himself.

afterwards impersonate the
Xoxoi of Lamachus, inf. 575,

the Boeotian, 862. A similar
usage prevailed in tragedy, e.g.

pouring the ^rvos over the cake.
This was a phallic ceremony,
analogous to the custom of
pouring ghee over the stone
piUars held in veneration by the
Hindus, and the Roman custom
of pouring lihiim over the Ter-
mini (Ovid, Fast. 11. 644), the
mystical meaning of which is
obvious. See the note on Pax
923. The depressed circles on
Celtic megalithic pillars, known

connected with these libations.
The eXarr^p was doubtless shaped

Meineke, Holden, Muller, fol-

It is not usual to add the arti-
cle with the adjective denoting
the deme.

to be somebody else, to avoid a
second prosecution. Hence he
adds that he -wishes the spec-
tators to know who he really
is, while he would make fools
of the Chorus, i. e. delude them
by his eloquent appeal, 'hum-
bug them,' 'quiz,' 'poke fim

his enemies, would side with
Cleon against him. So they
are stupidly to sujjpose he is

speak in pr sencc of Athenians

rubbing off the grain, such as
barley or millet, from the ears

lor Simaetha the Megai'iaus stole
ttco girls belonging to Aspasia,
Pericles' mistress : whereat he
was so indignant that he caused
the "SliyapiKov \pri<pLctJ.a to pass.
A. Miiller shows, from I'lutarch
and Athenaeus, that Aspasia had
about her a number of girls of
loose character. The effect of
this decree in exasperating the
Doric allies was so great, that
the poet declares (seriously or
not) that "three harlots caused
the outbreak of the war." The
direct cause of the decree (see
Preface) was the murder of the
herald AntlienKjcritus, who had
been sent by tlie Athenians to
Megaris to adjust mutual differ-
ences.
530. ivTivBtv. 'From this it

Neither on land
Kor ill niaikLt shall stand.
Nor sail on tlie sea nor set foot on

In the Pax 606, the passing of
this obnoxious measure is at-
tributed to Pericles under the
fear of being implicated with
some fraudulent transactions
of Phidias the sculptor. Com-
pare Diodor. Sic. xii. 40. Plat.

it was their fault: they ou^jht
not to have Rone to war for
such trifles. But tell us what
they ought to have done under
the circumstances. Suppose
that, instead of Athenians laying
information against the goods
of a Spartan ally, the converse
had occurred, — suppose that
some Spartan had gone to an
obscure island belonging to
Athens, and there coniiscated
some trifling article. Would
you Athenians have been quiet
imder the insult ? I trow
not.'

thinks (prjvai corrupt, but gives
no reason. The Schol. rightly
explains it by (j\jK0(pavT7)aas.
Miiller asks, cohere the supposed
information could have been
laid, for, he says, it could not
have been at Seriphus. It is
clear the poet takes a hypotheti-
cal, and perhaps a practically
impossible case : the informer
at Seriphus is the counterpart
to the informer at Athens. The
comparison does not exactly
hold, unless the information
was laid against a Seriphian in
the Spartan market, by a Spar-
tan informer. But, as the Schol.
says, a trifling and nominal
wrong to Athens is described.

Cleon's remark in Thue. iii. 37,

' Oh dear, no ! Of course not,
unless — Lamachus still gets
his pay ! ' Any democratic
theories which curtailed that
would be intolerable indeed.
I\Iuller thinks there is satire on
the avarice of Lamachus ; but
))robably he only represents the
anti-peace party.

ing the Boeotians with the Me-

he inferred that both parties

Lamachus tries to get the bene-

Aristophanes himself or Callis-

tho author of this and tlie two
preceding comedies (the ' Ban-

Idc of two senses; (1) our poet
has never yet comjjosed a pa-

composed one for the purpose
of praising himself. The Schol.
appears to take it in the former
sense, dfxi rod iv ry TrapajSaaei

the poet himself has not been
the subject of the former napa-
pdaeLz. The latter is more pro-
bably the meaning, and the
allusion is to the practice of
the rival dramatists, notably
Eupolis, against whom Pac.

prosecutor, having taken good
care that young men should be
advocates on bis side, deals
him (the defendant) a rap
smartly, joining issue with bis
phrases well rounded,' i.e. to
burl at him like stones. Much
difficulty has been felt at this
passage, chiefly from the uncer-
tainty whether veavias is the
nominative or the accusative
plural. As the ^wriyopot were
public prosecutors, it is natural
enough to say generally that in
the action against the old man
the accused has no chance
against the energy and fluent
combativeness of a parcel of
young advocates. The con-
struction ^vuT]yopelv iavrif) is well
illustrated by Soph. Tracb. 813,
^vvr/yope'is cn.yiS(ra ti^ Karriybpu).
There is a similar passage in
Vesp. 691 — 4, where the same
word airovbd^iLu is used in de-
scribing a collusion between the
^vvSlkoi and ^wqyopoi to let off
a culprit on condition of sharing
the bribe be offers. The ^w-l)-
yopos there appears to call the
TvvdiKoi 'on his side,' /ned' iav-
ToO, and here Meineke is proba-
bly right in imderstanding
"fictum senem defendendi stu-
dium." In fact, for ^wrjyopeiv
he should have said ^wdiKeiu,
but he ironically describes the
determination of both to get
the old man condemned. A.
Miiller has no sufficient rea-
son for pronouncing eavrtp cor-
rupt, and substituting eralpai.
Nor does Elmsley's conjecture
veaviav appear necessary, since
a proper i^ronunciation of the
verse would make plain the
construction intended. — For the
position of the article cf. Equit.

called vepiTTovvpos by a parody
on a lame engineer, Artemo,
who had to ride in a carriage to
inspect his works, and was
thence called irepKpoprjTos. Mid-
ler, who refers, after others, to
Plutarch, Vit. Pericl. ch. 37,
adds that even this j^hrase was
borrowed from the lazy habits
of an older Artemo, a contem-
porary of Aristides, Athen. p,

According to the Schol. he was

6 ffKiairT6\r]s, and as a ' scurra '

tion of his poverty, ' starving
more than thirty days every

reference to his character as a
parasite. Miiller quotes the
same phrase in Eccl. iSoS.
860. A countrjmau from
Boeotia now enters the market,
attended by a servant and other
churls, and loaded with good
things, which form a contrast
to the utter destitution of the
Megariau. The hostilities be-
tween Athens and Tbebes since
the invasion of I'lataea had
doubtless suspended all inter-
course, and deprived the Attic
market of ita usual supi)lies
from Boeotia. Cf. I'ac. 1003.

Cf. 954, where viroKinrTeii> has

him. Not seeing this, and in-
terpreting TvXr] 'a porter's knot,'
Mr Cjreeu, on 954, needlessly
remarks that ' a man could
hardly be said to stoop under

ing merely is, ' bend down your

giving avvdipi'ge. (Meiueke now
reads jBeXnaTe cri) depi^e Kal rod-
Tov Xa^div.) It is clear that
either this imperative or tovtov
Xa/SwK is interpolated ; in favour
of retaining the latter is the
metre of 938. But the sense
ajjpears to turn on cTVKo<pdvTr]v
being used unexpectedly for
(7U)p6v (not, as Miiller saj'S, for
Trpoj -navra 5ei.v6v). To 'shoot
rubbish on any heap' was a
jihrasu for getting rid of a worth-
less thing. Here it is wittily
assumed that some sycophants
had been "shot" ah-eady; and
60 the Chorus says, 'take this
man too and add him to any —
sycophant-heap.' MrGrei-n (and
proijably others) take the syn-
tax to be Trp'iirpaWe avKO(pdvTT]v

Mr Hailstone rightly construes
TTpos irdvra (jVKO(j>dvTriv, but
wrongly (I tliink) explains 'take

1 1 42. Miiller thinks a dis-
tich was the original reading,
"quumtota hac scena versus ver-
sni accuratis.-ime respondeat."
There seems an exception how-
ever at 1 1 14 — 6. though we
must allow something to the
change of person. But a line
beginning Tr)v KiaTio alpov might
have dropped out from its re-
semblance to the preceding.

addressed to Lamachus and

Lamachus and Dicaeopolis.

this formula is a common com-
mencement of a 7ra/;d/3acrts, as

It is simply a strophe and anti-
strophe of choriambic, logaoe-
dic, iambic, and antispastic,
preceded by eight anapaestic
verses. The subject, being per-
sonal to the Chorus, may fur-
ther justify the name of para-
basis which Miiller gives to it.

If the Chorus are here speaking
in their own, and not, as Miil-
ler thinks, in the poet's name,
it would follow that the same
chorus acted in both plaj's ; for
they complain that they were
not asked to the dinner to com-
memorate the victory of the
former play. Cf. sup. 300.

Home obscurity in the epithet
irripoXoi, which would Bcem to
be a play between the well-
known trireme so-called, and
the tish being laid by some salt.
The reading Trap' dXos, ' recens

I)r Holden from Thiersch, is
hardly good Greek for e^ d\6s.
It is probable that, like the
Roman mfn><a, the rpdwei^a was

This is jocosely called fxdp-

neral term (Vesp. 259, where
conversely and perversely Her-
mann and Meineke read p.dp-

seems out of place.

of this passage has been sus-

first verse seems made up from

of irtffov as an accusative abso-
lute is, as Miiller remarks, " ra-
nssimnm ;" nor is it less diffi-
cult to make irriKov the subject
to i£-r]voa. There is a mock-
tragic tone about the passage
which is like the style of the
poet. Meineke omits the whole
of it; Mtiller and Dr Holden

1 190 — 1225. Attempts have
been made, by some rather
vi(dent alterations, to bring
these lines into a system of
strophes and autistrophes. The
rei)etition of drraTal in mockery
of Lamnchus is itself no jiroof
of any such aiTangement; and
to force 1 191 — 4 into an iambic
distich (the ye after rddf is
wanting in MS. Rav.) seems by
no means a successful attempt.

uses mock-tragic language.

1207. Meiueke, by giving
fioyepos iyui to Lamachus, de-
stroys the whole fun of the
passage, which consists in the
jolly farmer mocking the tone
of the suffering soldier. The
conjectm-e is Bergk's ; but Bergk
himself does not adopt what
Dr Holden calls "certissima
emendatio." It would be better
perhaps to assign to Lamachus
tL |U€ cri> SaKveis ; ' Why do you
vex me so?' Then Dicaeopolis,
speaking to the girl on his knee

replies tI /xe ah kvvu%\ 'And
why do you, kiss me ? '

The reply is, 'Who ever thought

the words by ' heavy charge '
