CLAY, M.A. AND SONS, AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS. (TJHI7MSITT) INTRODUCTION TO THE PLUTUS. The Plutus was exhibited in the archonship of Antipater, that is to say B. c 388 ; being the last play that Aristophanes produced in his own name. For his two remaining plays, the Aeolosicon and Cocalus, were put forth through Araros one of his sons, whom he wished thus to introduce to the Athenian public. Thus much we learn from the writer of one of the Greek arguments. But a Scholiast tells us that there were two plays of Aristophanes bearing this name ; and that the first Plutus was exhibited in the archonship of Diodes (B.C. 408). From this first Plutus a line (not in our play) is quoted by the Scholiast on Ran. 1093 : on 1. 115 of our play the Scholiast gives an alteration made (as he says) in the second Plutus; and lines 173, 1 1 46 are noticed as necessarily belonging to the later play. This Scholiast evidently supposes the play which he is an- notating to be substantially the first Plutus j into which lines 173, 1 146, which must belong to the later play, have been transferred. But the more general and better conclusion is that the play which we have is the second Plutus. The whole character of the play, the absence of choric interludes and personalities, are a mark of the later time : the historical references are thus correct and natural. Indeed there is nothing of which we could positively , assert that it was not in the second Plutus. For though in lines 174, 303, 314 persons are mentioned by name, they are of no great note, we are not sure that they were still living, nor is the satire on them so bitter that it must have provoked the penalty of the law against personalities. Or, if some few lines be thought to have belonged to the earlier, but probably not to the later play, they may as easily have been in- vi INTR OJD UCTION serted by copyists remembering the earlier play as vice versa. And if there be any truth in the proverb that l second thoughts are best 3 we shall surely judge our line 115 ravrrjs aTraWdgeiv a-e rrjs ofyddkn'ias to be later than the weak substitute given by the Scholiast 7-779 (rv/JLCpopas ravrrji ere Travveiv fj$ e'xtis. Be it then assumed that our Plutus is the later play: 'a refashionment of an earlier work of Aristophanes/ as Donaldson calls it : though how far the two plays differed we do not know ; they may have been substantially the same. It appears however nearly certain that there were interludes of the Chorus in the First Pltttus, which we have not in ours : and in such parts and elsewhere there was probably personal satire which in the later edition was omitted. For we know that the licence of Comedy had now been abridged by law : as Horace says, ' Chorus turpiter obticuit sublato jure nocendi.' In fact the Plutus, with the Ecclesiazusae, belongs to what Meineke calls the third age of Aristophanic poetry. Athens was conquered and humbled by the issue of the Peloponnesian war. Her leading position and liberty were lost. Comedy, as Aris- tophanes had originally conceived it where the comic poet was to be the frank and fearless adviser of the State, reprover of mistaken policy, exposer of trickery and vice even in high places, roundly abusing his countrymen for their own good (see the Parabasis of the Acharnians) comedy of this kind could no longer exist. With the greatness of the country had fallen the greatness of the poet's office. Not only by law was the Chorus silenced or restricted ; but also poverty in place of wealth made it impossible to put plays on the stage with the old splendour. Aristophanes therefore of necessity conforms to the times : and though there are sparkles of his old wit, the general character of language is tamer. With the old bitterness is gone much of the old vigour. The Plutus therefore may be ranked as belonging to Middle Comedy (if there be any definite Middle Comedy) ; at all events to the time of transition from the Old to the New. It deals not with political but private life : with the general question of the distribution of riches in the world, with the question whether TO THE PLUTUS. vii riches or poverty do most good. This question is solved by bringing on the stage the god of Wealth, restoring him to sight, and describing the consequences, when riches were now redis- tributed according to his and Chremylus' ideas of merit. For a sketch of the play one can hardly do better than reproduce that given by Addison in No. 464 of The Spectator. He calls it * a very pretty allegory which is wrought into a play by Aristophanes the Greek Comedian.' ' Chremylus, who was an old and a good man, and withal exceeding poor, being desirous to leave some riches to his son, consults the oracle of Apollo upon the subject. The oracle bid him follow the first man he should see upon his going out of the temple. The person he chanced to see was to appearance an old sordid blind man, but, upon his following him from place to place, he at last found, by his own confession, that he was Plutus the god of riches, and that he was just come out of the house of a miser. Plutus further told him that when he was a boy he used to declare that as soon as he came to age he would distribute wealth to none but virtuous and just men; upon which Jupiter, considering the pernicious consequences of such a resolution, took his sight away from him, and left him to stroll about the world in the blind condition wherein Chremylus beheld him. With much ado Chremylus prevailed upon him to go to his house ; where he met an old woman in a tattered raiment, who had been his guest for many years, and whose name was Poverty. The old woman refusing to turn out so easily as he would have her, he threatened to banish her, not only from his house, but out of all Greece, if she made any more words upon the matter. Poverty on this occasion pleads her cause very notably, and represents to her old landlord that, should she be driven out of the country, all their trades arts and sciences would be driven out with her; and that, if every one was rich, they would never be supplied with those pomps, orna- ments and conveniences of life which make riches desirable. She likewise represented to him the several advantages which she bestowed upon her votaries, in regard to their shape, their health, and their activity, by preserving them from gouts, drop- viii INTR OD UCTION sies, unwieldiness and intemperance; but whatever she had to say for herself she was at last forced to troop off. Chremylus immediately considered how he might restore Plutus to his sight; and in order to it, conveyed him to the temple of Aesculapius, who was famous for cures and miracles of this nature. By this means the deity recovered his eyes, and began to make a right use of them, by enriching every one that was distinguished by piety towards the gods and justice towards men ; and at the same time by taking away his gifts from the impious and undeserving. This produces several merry inci- dents, till, in the very last act, Mercury descends with great complaints from the gods that, since the good men were grown rich, they had received no sacrifices ; which is confirmed by a priest of Jupiter, who enters with a remonstrance that since the late innovation he was reduced to a starving condition, and could not live upon his office. Chremylus, who in the beginning of the play was religious in his poverty, concludes it with a proposal, which was relished by all the good men who were now grown rich as well as himself, that they should carry Plutus in a solemn procession to the temple, and instal him in the place of Jupiter. 'This allegory instructed the Athenians in two points ; first, as it vindicated the conduct of Providence in its ordinary dis- tributions of wealth; and, in the next place, as it showed the great tendency of riches to corrupt the morals of those who possessed them.' While appreciating Addison's elegant sketch of the allegory, we shall not entirely agree with him as to its drift : the lesson intended by Aristophanes cannot have been exactly as he says. In the first place, Aristophanes cannot have meant to show that the distribution of wealth at Athens was the best possible, or that it was absolutely better for good and honest men to be poor. We cannot suppose that the restoration of Plutus to sight and the re-distribution of riches by merit i.e. the whole action of the play is meant to be an elaborate mistake. From the analogy of all his plays our poet must be believed, in the main, to sympathize with those who are victorious in the end. TO THE PLUTUS. ix For instance, in the Peace the recovery of the goddess Peace was really to the poet, as well as to his characters, a desired end : so also in the Achar?iians the truce, in the Frogs the return of Aeschylus. Therefore in this play that toward which the main action is directed, giving sight to Plutus, must be a wish of the poet as well as of Chremylus. One cannot doubt that Aristophanes meant not to approve, but to complain of, the present distribution of riches, at least at Athens : that he thought they fell to the undeserving : that he meant a sort of regretful lament over old times when better men prospered. And secondly, as regards the comparative effects of riches and poverty, though he admires the thrift and hardy virtue of old times as contrasted with the corruptions of luxury, yet he would naturally defend plenty and wealth ; for he would regard them as characteristics of the old times, and as an indispensable aid to old Comedy, in contrast with the present humiliation of his country and the degradation of the comic poet's office. The two lessons therefore of the allegory are not simply 'the vindi- cation of Providence in its ordinary distributions of wealth* and ' the tendency of riches to corrupt.' At the same time we may own that these two lessons do in some sort appear, at least to us. The whole impression left on us is not that Plutus' recovery is a signal success. Though certain impostors and worthless fellows are disgraced, no very noble results seem likely to follow. And again, Poverty in her pleading with Chremylus has undoubtedly the best of the argument : indeed Chremylus can only end by saying that ' he wo'nt be convinced ' (1. 600). And it was inevitable that Aristophanes, in working out these arguments, should see that poverty was the spur to exertion, that unequal distribution of wealth was a good and necessary thing. But in behalf of Wealth, and against Poverty, it might have been argued with some force that men work to win wealth as much as to escape poverty; that, where some must win, it would be better that the winners should be the worthier. But that men are made worthier by having to work in order to win, while the very fact of having won wealth often tends to make them less worthy, is a truth to which Aristo- x INTRODUCTION TO THE PLUTUS. phanes was not blind ; and still less can we be so. Work done on the way to an end is often more valuable to the worker than the end itself. But after all we are not concerned to prove Aristophanes absolutely consistent, or the allegory of the Plutus perfect. The poet saw many anomalies, and much unfairness, in the distribution of wealth at Athens in his time. These he wished to point out, and, in imagination, to set matters to rights. An amusing way of doing so seemed to be by restoring to sight Plutus, proverbially blind. Some of the real advantages and uses of poverty are brought out by the way ; and the results of Plutus' and Chremylus' new arrangements are not very grand : for Chremylus is no very high type of character, nor intended by Aristophanes to be so. But the idea gave opportunity (as Addison says) 'for many merry incidents': and we must not forget that to amuse always one chief object of comedy was now more than ever so, when serious personal satire and political teaching was no longer possible. Meineke notices that 'in this play throughout the gods are severely handled, so that we can perceive that the old reverence for them had passed away, even among men with pretensions to goodness.' There is much ridicule of the gods also in the Frogs and Birds , though in a playful vein. Yet it is rather the tricks of priestcraft and superstition (which may have been gaining ground) than the serious part of religion that our poet attacks. Zeus indeed is made to give place to Plutus at the end of the play : but then the priest of Zeus has already lowered his deity by representing him as only anxious for his perquisites. We need not blame Aristophanes over much for seeing through and exposing the impostures and absurdities of his national theology. The Plutus has a more copious body of Scholia than any other play of Aristophanes ; and (as a consequence probably of this) has been very fully annotated by the learned scholars of old. The actual difficulties of the play, whether of language or allusion, do not need long notes. And as to its interest and merit most will now agree with Meineke in classing it far below our poet's earlier plays. TABLE OF THE READINGS OF DINDORF'S AND MEINEKE'S TEXTS. DINDORF.

Carion the slave of Chremylus complains of his hard lot as slave of a crazy master, who follows a blind man for no apparent reason.

Indeed the slave of comedy is constantly better than his master in common sense. 5. fiT^x LV k,t.\J] The master foolishly will not take the slave's advice, gets into a scrape, and the slave shares it. The word fier^x^v shows that this is chiefly meant, not that the slave gets beaten : though this may happen too, for the master may .revenge himself for his own fault on the slave's back.

So the Scholiast interprets. The notion of the issue of battle represented by the turn of the scale is familiar to us. But in both cases in Homer, //. 6. 69 and %. 209, the scale of the vanquished sinks, of the victor rises. So too in Virgil, Aen. xii. 725. Milton makes the light scale of the weaker 'fly up and kick the beam.' But that the metaphor is from a balance here seems not so sure. Aristo- phanes himself uses eiriKadrjadai in Eq. 1093 of the owl perched on Athene's shoulder.

There is perhaps a special fitness in the ministration of serpents to heal the sight, as their name [dp&Kuv) denotes keenness of sight. This the Scholiast notices here ; giving also as a reason for their attendance on the god of healing, that they renew their youth by casting their skin, and removal of disease is a kind of restoration of youth. 737. irplv ae k.t.X.] The measure of time is ludicrously adapted to the bibacity of the woman : for which see above 1. 645. 742. 7rws 8o/ce?s] Cf. note on Nub. 881.

The informer is to serve as a post on which to nail up the offering. 946. koX gvkivov (with Meineke and others) it will be ' even of fig wood,' i.e. 'weak, of no great worth ;' for the wood of the fig-tree was all but useless, and ovklvoi avdpes in Theocr. X. 45 is a term of reproach. And then there would be no reference meant by the ctvko- tpdvTrj? to his own trade; though the audience might so apply it. There seems to be an intentional alliteration or similarity of beginning in av^vyop Kal 0'] y av tcl iravd' Holden, which is perhaps better. The MSS. have travra rau0' or ravra irdvd\ 982. av] Expressing habit : very common in Aristophanes esp. with imperfect. 987, ov 7ro\Xa K.r.X.] Ironical. A very modest beggar was your lover ! If (as may be gathered from Lucian) viro^y tiara were pur- chaseable for two drachmae, the sums mentioned may be large for their purpose. 989. fXKTrjTias] This must certainly mean ' greediness ' here : the other meaning given in L. and S. * passionate lust ' makes no sense. And in Av. 1620 fir) ditodidu} fiio-qria, it is of one who, having promised an offering to the gods, does not pay it 'through greediness, stinginess.' Even the little that my lover did ask (says the doating old woman) he asked not from a wish to get all he could out of me, but from love, wishing for keepsakes. 992. iKvo/McoTaTa] Chremylus takes her very word, see 1. 981. 994. tolvu] Meineke objects to iro\v...iravv and proposes iro\v fizdo-T7)Kev, iroXv. 995. tovtopI] It had been sent back to her, and so she had it with her. 999. afJLTjra'] elSos ir\aKovvros ya\aKTu>Sovs. Schol. Perhaps richer and better than her 7r\aicovs : it was to show that he did not now want her gifts being himself rich. 1002. iraKai k.t.X.] A proverb of any who are past their prime. 'The Milesians were stout fellows in their day :' and you were a beauty doubtless, but are so no more. The Scholiast tells us how the Milesians lost their former fame : also that the line was given by the oracle as an answer, when the god was consulted whether the Milesians should be called in as allies. There may be an allusion to this proverb in Vesp, 1060 3. 1. 1036.] NOTES. 77 1003. fjLoxOrjpbs] * Not a bad sort of fellow,' a man of some sense , and taste, not to take such an old frump for choice. 1004. ZireiTa] To this word Dobree, Meineke, and others, object. Holden says that if frreira is right, it must mean ' And so, since things are thus, or since he is of this character.' Not a very natural sense for ^7reira. It seems rather to mean * later on, afterwards,' and to be contrasted with irpo tov of the next line: nor, had irpb rod or irpb rod jxev been followed by ^ireira, would there have been any difficulty. The past tense rjv may ac- count for ZireiTa. * Plainly he was all along (in the past time) no fool he took this old woman from necessity, not from choice and now afterwards having become rich he no longer contents himself with common fare, whereas before he would eat anything.' Meineke reads iirel ct- tt\ovtwp. 1008. K(popdv ;] As in Eur. Ale. 422 dXV iiccpopdv yap rovde Brjo-ofxaL veicpov. The old woman is only fit for burying: cf.

Bentley corrected to arTiov> Meineke to pov(cv 'quae usitata Aristo- phani syntaxis est.' But surely the participle would then link itself naturally to dirdXioXa KairLT^Tpi/xfiaL, and Hermes was not pronounced 'wise' for being ruined. Nor in syntax is craxfrpovuv a natural sequence to tujv dXXuv dedv oi'Mv fioi fitXei, but poveis is. Had the participle been used, it would have been auxppovovvrl ye immediately after fx^Xet fioi ; but the interposition of iya> 5' dirdXwXa makes a difference, and therefore aucppovels is used. 1 1 20.

Meineke refers it to iriixtrta 'for the cakes were not baked on the day when they were offered, but on the day before.' How does he know that ? Hermes may have liked hot cakes. 1 127. irodets k.t.X.] Hercules in his search for Hylas heard a voice in the air say this. Hence it passed into a proverb. 1 1 29. daKuXlaf '] At the dXia f a day of the Dionysia, they leapt upon wineskins. Cf. Virg. Georg. 11. 380 'unctos saluere per utres.' Of course a pun on KwXrjs is here intended : probably some such meaning as 'do (or dance) without the ham out there in the cold.' For 7tpbs Trjv aiQp. cf. Thesm. 1001 ivravda vvv oi/Mufre irpbs ty\v aWpiav. T131. o5vi>T) k.t.X.] Hermes had lamented the loss of the 6(3os veavucos.

Fr., which Ovid repeats 'omne solum forti patria est.' 'All places that the eye of heaven visits Are to the wise man fair and happy havens.' Shakspeare. There is an utilitarian flavour about Hermes' line which suits with his character. Cicero Tusc. Disp. v. 37 gives as an exclamation of Teucer 'Patria est, ubicunque est bene' which looks like a translation of our line : another of Euripides is also quoted on that passage : ws iravTaxov ye irarpls rj fioGKOvaa yrj. 1 153.
