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a mark of the later time : the historical references are thus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.

NOTES.
I 21. 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. He resolves to make Chremylus explain why he does so.
2. irapacppopovvTos'] So in the Peace the master Trygaeus is crazy
(1. 54) and in the Wasps Bdelycleon: and their slaves talk of them.
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. Any excuse would do for a beating, cf. Ran.
812 birbrav oi deaTrdrat eairovdaKwin K\atifML$' 7]fup ylyverai.
6. rbv tctipiov] ' Its natural owner,' that is, the slave himself, rbv
lwr\p.hov the master who has bought him.
8. Kal TavTa...ravra] 'And these things are thus:' a common
phrase when one subject is dismissed and the speaker passes on to
something else. Cf. Aesch. Prom. Vinct. 508 rotavra pev drj ravra.
9. 6s de<nri(pdei] A line of tragic sound.
12. fxeXayxoXuPT''] Cf. Av. 14 6 invaKOTroSKr]s ^iXoKpdrrjs fieXay-
XoXw*', and below 1. 903.
16. cLKoXovdec k.t.X.] Chremylus follows a blind man and forces
me to do so too.
17. aTroKpivo[jiv<{)] 'And that too though he (the old man)
answers not one syllable.' Bentley's diroKpLvdfjLevos, which Meineke
and Holden accept, for qLTrotcpivon&Q the Ravenna MS. reading,
appears needless. We may well suppose Plutus to have been already
questioned by Carion or Chremylus : the threat in 1. 57 rather implies
this. And it is far more to the purpose for Carion in describing his
master's craziness to say 'he follows a blind man, aye and one who
won't answer him,' than to say, ' he follows a blind man and he won't
tell me why.' The common MS. reading diroKpLvofiivov might be de-
fended, as genitive absolute. Dindorfs older text (from Rav. MS.)
diroKptvo/xivq) has been kept. The dative is governed by aKoXovdel.
48 PLUTUS. [1. 21.
ovdt ypv] Besides the accepted explanation of 'a grunt,' whence
comes yptifreiv, the Scholiast gives another, that ypv means pv-iros
ovvxos, and hence anything worthless and small. The expression ov8
ypv occurs in Demosth. 353. Cf. Ran. 913, Eg. 294 in support of the
usual explanation.
21. artcpavov 2x ov 7 e ] Those returning from an oracle wore a
wreath, and their persons were sacred.
22 55 Chremylus tells Car ion that, rinding himself and other
honest folk poor while rascals were rich, he went to Apollo to seek a
remedy. The god told him to follow the first person he met after
leaving the temple and to persuade him to go home with him. He
had met this blind man, and therefore he stuck to him. They must now
find out who he is.
27. K\eTTTL(TTaTov\ A comic surprise and contradiction after ttl(tt6-
tcltov. The superlative form is wrongly compared by Bergler to
ToX/xiararos Soph. Philoct. 984, for ToXju^araTos is there the true reading,
which from to\/jl7)is is regular. Similar forms are XaXiorepos, apira-
ylcTCLTOS, dxpocfxtyLcrTaTos.
30. jyfjTopes] Cf. below 1. 379, 566. Aristophanes often attacks
this class.
33. rbv ifibv k.t.X.] He consulted the god not for his own benefit
so much, as his life was well-nigh spent, but for his son's, to ask what
kind of life he ought to lead.
34. iKTero^evadai] ' to have been already shot away, spent : ' the
metaphor is from the arrows being all shot and the quiver emptied.
Life itself is conceived as made up of arrows. 'The arrows of my life,'
says Chremylus, 'are well-nigh shot out.' Spanheim compares Hor.
Od. ii. 16, 17 Quid brevi fortes jaculamur aevo multa? but it is not quite
the same use of the metaphor. Bentley's conjecture iKTeroKvirevadai
will find few supporters, though it is ingenious.
35. rbv vlbv] Governed grammatically by xpVt but put first in the
sentence in order to contrast with rbv k\xbv /xh (iiov.
37. vyihs fir)dk tv] 'an utterly dishonest creature, a good-for-
nothing.' Some write firjdeev here, as ovdetv in 1. 137 and ovbeels in 1.
1 182. Whichever way it be written, the separation of the syllables
makes the word more emphatic than ovdels, ovdfr.
39. tL drJTa] A line of tragic sound. The tripod and the
priestess were wreathed with bay.
44. kclI rip k.t.X.] 'And pray whom do you meet first?' 'This
man.' 'Then don't you understand etc.' For koX rep Meineke says
" Kqra recte Cobetus, rovripl Carioni continuans." What objection is
there to the common text ? And elra in 1. 45 comes very awkwardly
after Kq.ra when the whole is Carion's speech.

'Why so pray?' 'Because etc' And so here: 'How do you
make out that ? ' ' Because etc' Meineke proposes yvuaTbv in his
critical note. In the Vindiciae he attempts other changes which are
not satisfactory. If di]\ov otlt) be taken together as 5t]Xov6ti, it is
hardly possible to explain 8okl. Meineke argues that drjXop otl cannot
be divorced: true, if otl means 'that,' of fact; but otlt) appears only to
be used = ' because,' of reason.
52. tjv d 1 rjfxiv k.t.X.] Something more must be meant than what
Carion supposes : this might be found out, if the old man would say
who he is. This and the following speech of Carion quite agree with
the supposition that Plutus had been already questioned by Chremylus
or Carion, and support the MS. reading in 1. 17.
56 252. The old man reluctantly, after severe threats, tells them that
he is Plutus, and explains his blindness. Chremylus proposes to restore
him to sight ; shows that he will be supreme above all deities, and need
not fear the anger of Zeus. He persuades Plutus to consent to this and
to go home with him, promising him better treatment than he has
hitherto met with. Meanwhile Carion is sent to summon the friends
of Chremylus.
57. TcLir! toutols] i.e. blows and stripes. 8pco is deliberative
subj. 'am I to do?'
58. fiavdaveis] Carion affects to misunderstand Plutus' answer,
'You must say who you are.' 'I say to you, Go and be hanged.'
1 Do you understand who he says he is ? '
60. otccucos k.t.X.] 'You are not polite enough,' says Chremylus;
and then turning to Plutus he courteously entreats him: but he gets
much the same answer.
61. et TL...TpoTroLs] 'if you like an honest man, answer me, for I
am one.' Or ' if you take pleasure in honesty, if you are yourself an
honest man.' Perhaps this last is better, for so in the next line tov
avdpa will have more force.
63. 8x v r ov avdpa] ' There, take your man and the omen that
the god gives you.' Chremylus had adjured him to speak 'as he was
a true man.' Carion ironically tells his master to take and make the
most of 'his true man.' And Plutus who had first met C. on leaving
the oracle was to be regarded as an omen or 6'pvts. Cf. Av. 719 tpviv

66. c5 rdv] The Scholiast quotes from Cratinus w rap de\r}(Tere.
Probably in strictness rap is singular, and is spoken only to Chremylus:
* My good sir.' Then he adds " do leave me both of you.'
7rw/xaXa] This negative = ovdafiQs was no doubt originally an inter-
rogative from ttCo^ttov. So also irodev is used: 'how can it be?'
meaning 'it cannot be.'
70. inTpaxyXwdfi v.] Cf. Nub. 1501 ^Krpaxv^adu) irecrwv: also
Lys. 705. The active etcTpaxv^fciv is used by Xenophon of a horse
that throws his rider over his head. Fischer thinks that Aristophanes'
use of the word for 'to break the neck' comes from the other use,
"because riders who are so thrown frequently break their own necks."
Doubtless the two meanings are independent of each other, both
coming naturally from the word.

tually they reconcile him to the idea of remaining with them.

ipsusne es ? Ch. Ipsissumus.'
84. HarpoicXeovs] A rich man who followed Laconian fashions,
the Scholiast says. In Plato's Eulhydemus, p. 297, Socrates speaks
of a brother of his named Patrocles. What the Laconian and Socratic
habits were Aristophanes tells us in Av. 1281 ekaKwvofx&xow airavres

100. Ta7r eptov] Dindorf blames a brother commentator for sup-
posing this to be rd dirb, and affirms it to be rd, eiri. It may be either :

cally in the middle of the trades.
166. yva<pevei] Kvcupevei, was read by the Scholiast, who tells us
that kv was older Attic, yv newer. Meineke edits Kvafieus in Vesp. 11 28
Jiccl. 415. 6 8e Kvacpevei would be against comic usage, as the e should
be short before -kv. Brunck proposed 6 5e ris Kva<pevei 7, which some
editors receive. It is hard to pronounce authoritatively which cor-
rection is the better, or whether either is needed. The metrical canon
does not perhaps justify us in changing the MS. 6 8e Kvacpevei, for there
are offences against it elsewhere. And the pronunciation and writing
may have been in Aristophanes' later years (to which this play belongs)
wavering between the kv and yv.
169. tclvtL p? eX.] All this Plutus had never noticed; nor knew
how all-powerful he was.
170. 5t& tovtov] According to the common text Carion speaks to
Chremylus; then in some lines addresses Plutus directly. Meineke
and Brunck give lines alternately to servant and master. It appears
best to give 1. 172 and 1. 177 9 to Chremylus. Thus Chremylus con-
sistently addresses Plutus throughout, Carion speaks of him to Chremylus.
It is plain that Carion must say 6 Tipodeov 5Z irupyos and his master
ipareaoL ye <tol.

same Pamphilus. Schol.
177. $l\\J/los] He got his livelihood (says the Scholiast) byre-
citing stories, in which he dealt in the marvellous. Demosthenes
mentions a Philepsius among others who had been punished for breach

whom cf. Eccles. 96, 184.
178. t) %ufjL/j.axia> k.t.X.] Some alliance between Athens and Egypt,
when the Athenians needed corn from Egypt and paid for it. But
when this was is uncertain. The Scholiast speaks of it as in the reign of

Amasis, which is far too early. And Chabrias' visit to Egypt, which some
have thought to be meant, was long after even the second exhibition
of this play.

l82. IXOVUTOLTOS] Cf. 1. S3 CLVTOTCLTOS.
185. eTriicadkftTai] This may be a metaphor from weighing: 'in
whose scale wealth sits,' the depression of the scale being taken to
indicate success. 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. Perhaps here Wealth is imagined as perching on
the victor, much as the raven on Valerius in the Roman legend.
188. fiearbs] 'too full, full to overflowing:' the force of this word
is seen well in Eq. 814 6s eTroiTjaev tt\v tto\lv r}[x<2v y^Grr\v i evpojp

But Plutus of course means his belief to apply specially to /JLera at : he
can well believe that Chremylus puts his wife and son after riches.
253 321. Carion returns with the friends of Chremylus, whom he
urges to make haste. As they are on their way he tells them that
Chremylus has Plutus in his house, who is to make them all rich.
They dance for joy, and exchange rude jests with Carion, as he leads

277. ip rrj <rop$ k.t.\.] Carion retorts on the leader of the Chorus
that he ought to be dead, the coffin is his proper place. But reference
is made to the Athenian custom of allotting different courts to different
dicasts. These courts were distinguished by a particular letter : and a
token or ticket {<Jvfi{3o\ov), and, as some say, a staff corresponding to
his court, was given to each dicast. ' Whereas your letter shows that
your allotted court is the coffin, yet you don't move thither, though
Charon is ready to give you your ticket of admission.' \axbv rb ypdfxjxa

321 414. The approach of the Chorus being told to Chremylus,
he comes out to welcome them. They promise to help him. Mean-
while Blepsidemus has got some information about Chremylus' good
fortune, and comes post haste to find out what is the truth. Being told
that his friend is in a fair way to be wealthy, but at some risk, he at
once concludes that he has stolen money, and wants to get some of it.
In vain Chremylus asserts his honesty ; till at last he tells him that he
has found the god of wealth, and that he is going to get him cured
of his blindness in ^Esculapius' temple.

indignant, with threats. At first she is jeered at : but when she names
herself, Blepsidemus is terrified, and can hardly be persuaded to face
her. Chremylus however is confident that with Wealth they can over-
come her. He tells Poverty that they are doing no wrong to her, and
are doing good to mankind. In this last they are, she tells them, mis-
taken : she, Poverty, is really a cause of good. This she offers to prove
to their satisfaction : and the case is to be regularly argued.

487 618. Chremylus and Poverty argue out the case. Chremylus
argues that the honest and good ought to be rich, but are not so : if
Plutus had eyes, they would be so. Poverty says that want is the
incentive to work : all trade and prosperity depends upon it : poverty is
a hard teacher, but a good one : the thrifty poor may live contented :
whereas wealth and luxury bring much evil and disease. Various argu-
ments and examples are quoted. Chremylus will not be convinced;
and Poverty, while protesting that they will want her back again, is
compelled to depart.

But L. and S. refer to the Anthology for the meaning 'to accompany.'

proposed are satisfactory : the sense wanted is something like this :

64 PLUTUS. [1. 592.
592. ctXXct cr 7' 6 Ze^s] This is abuse, not argument. Chremylus

find itabarren honour.' Cratinus is described in Eq. 534 as going about
urtcpavov nkv x (x)v a v v tihfal 5' a7roXcoXws. But the Scholiast says there is

594. 'E/cdr^s] On the first day of the month the wealthy set out
at the crossways a meal for Hecate: this the poor and starving took.
Chremylus' argument is : The rich have enough and to spare : the poor
are forced to starve or steal : Hecate's offerings prove this.
600. oli yap TreiVets] * A man convinced against his will is of the

602. TLavacova] Pauson was a painter : in Ach. 854 called irafi-
irovrjpbs, in Thesm. 949 spoken of as poor and starving. Chremylus bids
Poverty call Pauson, her messmate, and get his help and companion-
ship, but leave himself (Chremylus), and not come back till sent for.
612. <r...K<pa\r)v] ttjv Ke^aXrjv appears to be in a kind of appo-
sition to <tL ' It is best for me to enjoy my wealth, and, as for you, to
let your head ( = you) go weep.' The same phrase occurs with a
dative in Vesp. 584 tCKauv rjfieis /xaKpd rrjp KecpaXrjv elwovres rr\ diadriKr).
The head, as the noblest part or the part chiefly affected, stands for the
whole person in such phrases as yivvatov, 56<ttt)vov Kdpa, is ice<pa\r,j/
col : compare Lat. ' multa fleturum caput.' In this passage K<pa\r)v
can hardly be (as Bergler takes it) accus. of object to kXclclp.
619 626. Being now rid of Poverty Chremylus carries out his
plan. Plutus is taken to Asclepius' temple. After 1. 626 the choral
ode is lost, which should have entertained the audience during the per-
formance of the cure which Carion reports.

627 770. Carion returns with good news to the rejoicing Chorus
and to Chremylus' wife, whom their cries of joy attract. They require
a full account. He relates in amusing style how they lay down to rest
in the temple : how the priest made booty of the offerings ; how he and
an old woman did the same; how finally Asclepius went his round

645. Kafirr)] 'Yourself too' as well as I. Carion is to have a cup
for his good tidings : and, as an inducement to the good wife to bring
it, he tells her that she will have a share. He adds, perhaps as an
aside, 'It is your pet weakness.' No other instance of <f>iXeii> with
participle is adduced: but arepyeip is so used. Meineke quotes from
Eccl. 502 fiiaei craKov irpbs tqlv yvadoiv ^outrci.
647. irov Vrp;] t<x dyaOd. 'You will soon know them when I

the woman catching the words es tt]v K<pa\r)v trot, which were often an
imprecation 'on your head be the evil,' says 'Pray heaven it be not on

understood Trpdy/xaTa in that sense.

tragedy.
657. e\ov/j.p] Contr. from iXoofiev, as Xotifievos from Xoo/ievos. Cf.
Nub. 1044 XovadaL and 838 KaraXoei. L. and S. say that in these forms
'the Attics omit the vowel of inflexion.' Rather, as KaraXdei shows,
the v of the long stem is omitted. This u probably represents an original
digamma : compare the Latin lavo, and such Homeric forms as Xoeaad-
fievos, Xoerpd point to Xo as the verbal stem.*

evdaificov a/)'] This is said with a touch of pity and doubt whether
the cold water cure was for the old man's happiness.
661. TriXavos] It is impossible to translate this otherwise than by
making irtXavos an explanation of iroirava kcli TrpodvpLara. But, though
often used of a sacrificial offering, -rriXavos does not suit well if thus
taken, ir. kclI irp. cannot reasonably be called 'a moist or clotted
mixture/ which seems the meaning of iriXavos. Bergk proposes p.-
Xavos : which Meineke thinks probable. Possibly a line has been lost,
which gave another verb to iroirava ical irp., and a conjunction to
Kaduaiudr} iriXavos. Against relinquishing the word iriXavos there is its
frequent sacrificial use: e. g. Eur. Ion, 706 KaXX'upXoya irtXavov iirl
iTvpl KaOayviaas. Cf. Aesch. Ag. 96, Pers. 204. And the whole line

usually eat. i^irXyjTTe ' scared me/ i.e. kept me awake.

of the offerings made to the idol.
681. T/L^ev] Ironically said of the priestly theft, in which he pre-
tends to see iroXXr)v bviav 'great holiness.' If it was right in the priest
to take the cakes, so was it right (he argues) for him to take the

685. vrj tovs 6eovs] 'Yes, I feared that the god would come, gar-

Plainly the old woman made some attempt to save the porridge : upon

690. irapeias] These snakes were sacred to Asclepius, and kept in
his temple. Their bite was not dangerous. Demosthenes mentions
them De Corona 313, roi)s 6(peis rovs irapeias dXifiuv koX virkp rijs
Ke<pa\fjs aicapufif. The name irapeias was given them from the puffed
shape of their heads probably. But the word is also written irapuas,
and L. and S. take it to be from their reddish-brown colour.
694. <p\wv] Cf. Pac. 1306 <p\av ravra. irdvra, teal (nrodelv.
708. e/ceipos] Asclepius.
712. XlOlvov;] The wife begins to distrust Carion's veracity, and
points out the absurdity of a KLpdbriov of stone : then again, how could
Carion see all this, if he was wrapped up? But the slave is equal to the

719. oirbv kolX axivov~\ Both, as the Scholiast says, 8t]ktik&: as also

sharp vinegar was made there, or the people were iriKpol, as one Scholiast

720. diifxevos] From ddrjtu: perhaps the only classical instance of
its use in this meaning.
724. KaTaireirXaaixvos\ ' Plastered over, with your plaster on.'
Neocleides is bidden in Ecd. 404 to anoint his eyes with garlic and fig-
juice.
725. VTOfivtfJL&ov] In Attic law virbfivvadai was 'to swear that
there was a cause for non-attendance/ such as illness. 'I will make
you stay away from the assembly, putting in an affidavit of the reason,
namely, illness.' This seems the meaning with ttjs eKKXrjcrias. But the
Scholiast read rats eKKX-rjaiais 'at the assemblies:' then the participle
v-rrofivv/uLevov must be taken with Tra6acxj 'I will stop you from hindering
business by putting in false pleas, from being an obstructive.' eiropLvv^evov
was the old MS. reading. This one Scholiast explains e<pepevovra ical
crvKocpavTovvra. vrrlp rod Kepbalveiv. But others appear to be explaining
i)7rofxvv/j.vov. In any case Asclepius seems to mean that he will stop
Neocleides deluding the assembly by false allegations or excuses, giving
him, for once, a real reason to stay away.

68 PLUTUS. [1. 727.
727. HXovtwl] Though UXovtwv and UXovtos be connected etymo-
logically, yet the use of IIXoutupl for RXovry here has no apparent
reason. It is thought by some to be a diminutive of endearment, as
yXlaxpuv from yXlaxpos. Meineke proposes UXovrcp Vt, that is EtXoury
Zti, he further went and sat by Plutus.' This has an awkward sound.
Holden proposes IlXoury 7e. The particle ye appears at least useless.
729. i)u.iTv^Lov] Said to be an Egyptian word. The first part
looks like Greek ; but the Greeks when adopting a foreign word would
write and modify it to suit their own language. Hippocrates uses it: it
seems therefore a medical word : and Egyptian physicians were re
nowned in ancient times.
730. ftavdiceia] Daughter of the god. Cf. 1. 639.
733. dpaKovr] Serpents were everywhere associated with the
worship of Aesculapius : he was transferred from Epidaurus to Rome, as
the legend runs, in the form of a serpent.
K rod i>eu] The patients were within the rifxevos (1. 659) but not in
the actual vews.
736. ireptiXeixov] According to the legend serpents in the same
way purged the ears of Cassandra and Helenus, that they might under-
stand divine sounds and be able to prophesy. 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.

Cf. Demosth. 1123, $ tol Karax^cf^ara avrov Karx e T <>& 4(*U icjvrjdrj.
The wife says that they must welcome Plutus' newly acquired eyes with
a shower of bonbons.
771 801. A Kofx/xcLTiop or short stanza of the Chorus is wanting.
Plutus comes in, ashamed of his former blindness, and determined to
make up for it now by enriching good men. Chremylus follows,
annoyed at the crowds that press on him now that he is prosperous.
Then Plutus is welcomed by Chremylus' wife and they enter the
house.
771. koX Tpoa-KvvLd ye] Plutus' first words are a continuation or
answer to something which has gone before : as the particles ical...ye
show. Meineke thinks something has been lost. Holden thinks them
a quotation,
775. 0101s k.t.X.] Explanatory of GvjMpopas : *I am ashamed of
my wretched state, ashamed, that is, to think what rogues I consorted
with and knew it not.'

evdovres tvxv irapeiaav avrotis kv/ucltojv dpoftofpuuriP, but avrobs there is
governed by irapelaav rather than by ivdovres. Either compound seems
defensible, and the MS. authority rather for eveMfovv.
782. /3aW es k.] To the troublesome crowd, or to one of them.
Such an exclamation might do for many as well as for one. Cf. Eq.
634 &ye 5?7, 2/c/raXot.
783. ol <f>a(.v6/j.evoi] This is quite satisfactory, dafipcuvofjievoi the
conjecture of Hemsterhuys is neat but needless. The article with the
participle is wanted; and 'the friends that turn up, are visible' is
excellent sense.
784. vvttov(ti Kai 0Xwcrt] ' poke and bruise my shins ' by crowding
round me. Some explain #\wcrt of touching the knees in supplication :
but vvTToucri cannot mean that, and the two verbs with one accusative
avTiKvrjfxia must be of similar meaning.
787. Trepieo-TecfHivutTej'] Not iTifi7}<Tev, as Schol. explains ; but
simply ' surrounded.'
788. t5 0t\rar] Chremylus' wife returns, according to promise,
with the bonbons. Kai ad Kai cri) to Plutus and Chremylus.
70 PLUTUS. [1. 790.
790. fi7)dafiQ>s'] Plutus declines, because it would be unfitting to
celebrate the entry of wealth by emptying the house of anything.
792. fi\\pavTo$] ' having become able to see, having got back my
sight.' A similar use of the aorist is iiretdr) Qrjaevs efiaalhevoev, ' when
Theseus became king,' Thuc. 11. 15.
796. iireiTa k.t.X.] * Then too we shall escape the charge of
vulgarity. For it ill beseems a dramatic poet to raise a laugh by a
scramble among the audience for nuts and figs.' In Vesp. 58 Aris-
tophanes disclaims such devices : rjpuv yap ovk 2<tt ovre napv e<

800. Ae^LviKos] Plainly he was some poor man who was standing
up eager for the expected scramble.
802 957. Carion comes out and gives an amusing description of
the new wealth of his master. An honest man, who is prosperous now
but was poor before, comes to thank Plutus, and to hang up his old
garments as a memorial. While he and Carion talk together, an
informer enters, whose trade is spoilt. He and his complaints and
threats are mocked at : they strip him of his clothes, put on him the
old rags of the honest man, and send him away to the bath-house.
803. pLrjdev e.] At no expense, no outlay.
805. t'irei(nrTraiKev'] Said by the Scholiast to be a military term used
of an invader, elairaieiv is used by Sophocles, 0. T. 1252 fiowv yap
elaeiraiaev Oldiirovs. The influx of good things is put comically as a
riotous invasion which they have not deserved (ovdeu 7}5ik7]k6(tiv) : at
the same time this last is a sarcasm on the usual mode of acquiring
wealth at Athens : ws tCjv iroWuv, pjakuna tGov 'AdrivaLuv, e ddudas

810. 0p&z/)] Some vessel for oil, not literally ' a well or spring.'
813. cairpovs] Meineke would change here, as elsewhere, to
cadpous. In meaning the distinction commonly observed is that aaOpos
is ' mouldering, crumbling to pieces from decay,' of rotten wood, ships,
garments, etc. ; crairpos, * rancid, sour, putrid,' of flesh, fish, etc. But
the two qualities may co-exist in the same thing : and the words are
etymologically akin. And the verb is used in both senses. Hence
it appears safest to follow* the MSS. Cf. above 1. 542 aairpos (popfios.
815. Ittv6s\ Whether 'oven' here, or 'lantern,' as in Pac. 841,
is doubtful.
dpTLd^ofieu] The game which Horace {Sat. II. 3. 248) calls 'ludere
par impar.' The Scholiast tells us that it was also called iry& r,
d^vya. Guessing whether the number of coins held up was odd or
even was the point of the game.

820. vv k.t.X.] A triple sacrifice appears to have been the right
thing. It was called rpLTrfc. The Latins had the name suove-

826. drjXov otl k.t.X.] Holden punctuates with a full stop after
drjXov 6'rt: to avoid 8r)Xoi> otl being followed by the weaker ws eot/cas
in one sentence. His reading will be ' 'Tis plain you are that (pros-
perous). You are, methinks, one of the honest.' And Meineke says
these two 8t)Xov otl and cos koiKas, 'adversis frontibus sibi repugnant/
This is questionable. ot/cas need not really imply doubt, and may
well enough go with drjXov otl. 'Nimirum, ut videtur' Brunck renders
it. The personal construction of Zolkols is common.
830. iirrjpKovv] I helped my friends in need, thinking that this

842. 6ecdv~\ Plainly this, the MS. reading, is right. Brunck rashly
accepts 7rp6s rov debv. The exclamation ' in the name of the gods ! '
is perfectly natural : the proposed correction is doubtful Greek.
845. p-cov eveixvrjdris k.t.X.] The initiated wore the garments of
their initiation till they fell to pieces : then dedicated them to some
god. To the ragged garments at the Eleusinia there is allusion pro-
bably in Ran. 404. With /j.eydXa understand plvo-ttjplcl. Notice that

853. cvyK^Kpapiai] Cf. Soph. Ant. 131 r, deiXata 5 avyKiicpafiai

much admixture of water : for which idea cf. Eq. 1188 ws ^5i)s, w ZeO,
72 PLUTUS. [1. 856.
Kal ra rpia cf>ipuv /cctXws. Even if this be the right explanation of
7roXv0opos, yet to press the metaphor in avyK^Kpa/mai would make the
sufferer to be the water mixed with (and weakening) his own calamity.
If Aristophanes meant this, he meant the whole phrase to be in
ridicule of his tragic contemporaries. It is not likely that Sophocles
and Aeschylus meant KiKpaadai dva, oticr^ otherwise than 'to be
plunged in.' And iro\v<t>bp(# is also explained ttoWcl kclkcl cptpovTi.
Of land it means ' fruitful, bearing much good : ' therefore why not of
a fortune ' bearing much evil ' ?
856 9. ov ydp tf.r.X.] Am I not shamefully treated, who have
lost everything by Plutus' recovery of sight ? Meineke doubts the cor-
rectness of irpdy/jLCLTa iriirovda, and would prefer xpVf JLaTa y to be taken

859. al olicaC\ The informer means to have 'legal' redress. Carion
now knows at once the stamp of the man : it is a bad coinage.
863. /caXws iroiuv air.] ' He does quite right in being ruined; it is
quite right he should be ruined.' Generally ye is added in this phrase,
as in Pac. 271 ev ye...iroi&i> diroXuX' iKeivos. And it is a sort of polite
thanks 'Very kind of him to do so.'
865. vTTOffxwwos] Plutus was to make rich all the good men. The
informer reckons himself among the good.

a rogue?' 'No, it's you that are the dishonest rogues: and no doubt
you've got my money.'
870. ov jxkv ovv k.t.X.] 'Nay rather there is no honesty in any one
of you. ' v/icbv, which is emphatic, depends on ovdevds, which is masc.
and not adverbial, either here or in 1. 362 (as some commentators say),
but a possessive genitive, 'belonging to any one of you.'
872. <ro/3apds] e'lrypne'vos Kal fdya fypovQiv. Schol. In Aristophanes
this adjective is generally with a verb of 'going, moving:' as Ach. 672

Phertatus were persons who sold such charms.
885. dXX' ovk tvec-rc] The sense is plain, 'Your ring is of no avail

Dobree thinks one or more lines have been lost. dXX' ov ireplearai, dXX'

that d-nyfjLdTos is the genitive after 8aKTv\ioi>, Holden supposes ov yhp

aXr}dela. But the informer has just said they were going to feast at his
cost ; therefore the whole sense must be : 'I wish we were going to do
so, and that you and your witness might burst, not with eating indeed,
but with spite and envy at seeing us eat while you get nothing.' And
as diappaydris might naturally first suggest a literal bursting from over-
eating, the last words are added as an after-thought. The whole answer
is equivalent to an angry denial : hence in the next line apveiaBov.

any verb, being rather ace. of respect 'at all' than strictly the object of
the o<T(pprj<TLS.
897. d)U7r^xTat t.] The informer is in wretched plight, wearing a
threadbare coat. They strip him afterwards and give him one that is
even worse. But what necessity is there for altering the text violently

otlxv tvxu\ Meineke denies that this can mean anything suitable,
and would read otlxv tvxv 'when it chance to be needful, when occasion

support this change. But the Greeks do use a personal construction
where we prefer an impersonal : as los Zoikcxs, ws doxd* (see above 1. 826),
'as it seems likely.' And if 'when it so happen '=' when occasion
happen to need it,' why should not 'when I so happen '= 'when I hap-
pen to need it ' ?

continue informer. No other life is worth living. The informer in
the Birds (1. 145 1) has much the same spirit. He and his grandfather
before him have driven this trade, and he will not ' disgrace his
family.'

925. Barrou a.] Battus founded Cyrene : silphium abounded
there. And on Cyrenian coins Battus was represented holding this plant.
' Battus' silphium ' appears to have passed into a proverb for something

speaks of ' laserpiciferae Cyrenae. '
926. Karddov] The best arrangement seems to be to give this to
Aikcllos, then outos, <rol X^yet and tclvtcl \4yei to Carion. The informer

946. koX <ruKivov\ 'Some helper and fellow of my own grain,'
which he expresses by gvkivos 'of fig- wood,' without meaning to
reproach his own trade of avKo<p<xvrrjs, of which he is proud. If how-
ever we take kcLi> 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 <tvklvcv, which is perhaps better with the old reading Kal.
In Ach. 180 men are described as irplvLvoi. and afevdapLvivoi to express

The informer may almost be supposed to be quoting from one of his

959 1094. Carion with the just man and the informer being gone,
the Chorus remain. They probably sang an interlude after 1. 958 in the
first edition of the play. An old woman then enters, complaining that
she has lost ' her young lover, who used to court her when she was rich
and he was poor. Mow things are changed by Plutus' recovery of
sight. While she and Chremylus (who has come out to her) are
talking, the young man comes in, and jeers at her, Chremylus pre-
tending sympathy but joining in the ridicule. They then enter the
house.
960. viov] 'New ' because of his newly-recovered sight.
963. ixeipatdvKr)] In ridicule: as is w/h/cws : which certainly
means ' like a young girl, in the fashion of sweet seventeen.' Cf. Ach.

twenty-one. Of course the old woman acts and speaks in imitation of
a young girl.

comes out.

thinks this may be another of the same breed but of opposite sex.
76 PLVTUS. [1. 972.
972. ct'W ov k.t.X.] The courts of law in which the SikchttclI presided
were inscribed with certain letters ; and each 5ucao~Tr)s drew lots for his
special court. To this there is allusion in 1. 277 and 1. 1167 of this
play. It was a heavily punishable offence to sit as dicast when not
allotted (ov Xax^v). But here for idUa^es, or for $Kpives, is put Zirives.
And in feasts the order of drinking was also settled by lot, perhaps by
some drawing of letters. Hence the whole meaning will be ' Did you
drink without having duly drawn the lot according to your letter?' i.e.
* Did you drink out of turn ? ' Chremylus means to mock at the old
woman as a tippler. Her appearance no doubt suggested this : she
was probably fat and bloated : cf. below 1. 1037. So when she denies
being an informer, he thinks ' Oh ! you have been a wretched old
tippler, who used not to drink fair but take too much, and now you
have lost your money and blame Plutus.' To which she answers that it
is not so, she is anything but fat, she is wasted and pining.

chaseable for two drachmae, the sums mentioned may be large for their

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

'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.

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,

The metrical objection to ^arriov is that there would be a tribrach

have to be altered to establish the canon that anapaest never follows
dactyl or tribrach.

ttocov or ttoWou. The first would ask seriously (as in Ach. 83 which

The player would here have to guess iroaa Kapva, for which is substi-
tuted iroaovs odovras in ridicule. Chremylus thinks he can make a
pretty good guess ; but he fails, and is called on to pay forfeit.
106 1. ir\vv6v] a wash-pit or wash-tub.' To make a person a
ir\vvbs is to put into him or throw over him everything foul and
abusive. So in Psalm lx. 10 ' Moab is my wash-pot.' The Scholiast
says that ir'Svvbs oxytone is the vessel, irXdvos paroxytone the thing
washed. Of this there is no proof; and the explanation of ir\vvbv
iroLeiv given above appears satisfactory. The use of rrXvuetv, * to deluge,
souse,' in Ach. 38 r, appears different. To 'make into a wash-tub'
and ' to wash ' are not the same. You dirty the wash-tub : you clean
the clothes. But the very mention of a washing-tub suggests to the
young man that the old crone wants a washing and cleaning.
1063. KairrikLK&s] She is well made up, like wares at a shop.
KairrjXoi were proverbially dishonest and tricky in giving to poor goods
an outward semblance of worth.

1097 1 1 70. Carion hearing a knock comes out, and finds Hermes
at the door ; who at first delivers a threat of severe punishment from
Zeus for the loss to the gods caused by Plutus' recovery of sight.
Carion tells him the gods are rightly served : and Hermes, after
bemoaning his former good things, soon turns to make conditions for
himself. He will abandon the gods, and take service with Plutus
and Chremylus, as presider over athletic contests.
1099. KXavcriq.] This verb appears to belong to the class of which
6<f)da\/xiav, Xocpoiv, aipvXXiav, fjLadrjTLciv are instances. They denote a
disease or sick craving for something. Cf. Nub. 183 fxadr)TL<2 'I have
a disciple-fever on me, a diseased craving to be a pupil:' and Eq. 61
68e yipuv ai(3vXXi$. The Scholiast says orau vir ave/xov Kivrjrai i) 8upa
KclI tjxov tlvcl eic rofrrov airoreXri 6 tolovtos rfx os V Tpifffibs icXavaiav
Xiyerai. Eustathius also notices this use of the word saying evel
do/covert tcl roiavTCL Svpia edtXeiv icXaieiv (bael veoyiXa cr/cuXct/cta. This
is surely enough to prove that the word is used of the sound of a door.
* The door has a whining- fit, making a noise for nothing.' The form
KXavalaoj therefore is not exactly equivalent to KXavaeioj desiderative ;
nor is it very good sense, wants to weep, ' i. e. ' wants to get itself
beaten, shall suffer for it,' as L. and S-, Meineke and Holden explain.
Aristophanes could (and surely would) have written KXaiKrercu if he
meant that. Carion comes out, does not see Hermes, who, true to his
character, cannot even knock at a door without hiding himself and
denying it. Therefore he concludes that the door possessed by a
whining fit creaked noisily for nothing.
<re tol\ Carion is retiring, but Hermes hails him.

reserved, as is seen from Pac. 1060, Av. 1704. It was given to Hermes
in his character of herald, the Scholiast says. To this there is allusion;
but the words also express a threat that for his ill news he deserved to
have his tongue cut out.

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 <ry<}>poveis is. Had the participle

How does he know that ? Hermes may have liked hot cakes.

he asked his doctor 'on whose?' Cf. Thesm. 484 arp6(f)os fi' $xei rrjv

Plainly Carion gives him a draught of wine to get rid of him : he does

naturedly laughs at him, and in the end admits him as one of the
household.

different sense of eicQopa here and above 1. 1008; though it is possible
that in 1. 1008 this sense may be also alluded to.

1 1 50. ravTOfioXe'iv] To desert would be accounted shameful.
Nicias in the Knights 1. 21 26, when proposing desertion to De-

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.

In this character Hermes was set up at the entrance of a house, to
watch that no mischievous persons entered, being a thief set to catch a

' we don't want any <rrpo<pal now.'

1 166. oIk tos k.t.X.] Dicasts may well like to have their names
entered on several juries, that they may be sure of having cases to try
and fees to receive. See above on 1. 277 and 1. 972. And Hermes by
being jack of so many trades has secured himself a pittance.
1 168. iirl rotfrots] 'On these terms,' of being ivayuvios; but the
connexion is not very plain : nor yet has the dtaKovucbs of next line any
reference to ivayuptos.
1 1 70. diaKoviicbs] Hermes had wanted to enter their service, to be
tyvoiKos with them. He is the servant, the menial of the gods : esp.
in Aristophanes does he appear in this character ; therefore, when he
has got a footing as hayuvios, Carion says, if he is to be 5i&kovos of any
sort, he must 'show himself 5ia/cow/c6s.'
1 1 71 1209. The priest of Zeus the Preserver complains that his
gains are gone : no more sacrifices : no more perquisites. He proposes
to become priest of Plutus, who is, says Chremylus, the true Zeus the
Preserver. They prepare to inaugurate the new worship with torches
and pitchers, and go out in procession, the Chorus bringing up the rear.
1 1 72. rl yap aXX' tj kcikws] The adverb does not answer the
question rl <jtlv very suitably : we should expect either a noun, as in
Ran. 437 tovtl rl t\v rb irpayfia aXX' r, Atds Kdpivdos, or a verb is
expressed in the answer, as in Eccl. 769 <pv\dofiai irplv av y' tdo) rd
ir\rj9os o tl ^ovXe^eTai. A. tL yap ct'XXo 7' fj <ppeiv irapecrKevaa^voi. ra
irpayixar'' eialv\ Hence A. de Velsen would omit the next line (which
in the MSS. is imperfect), so that rl yap dXX' rj tcaK&s a7r6Xo>Xa may be
connected. Holden proposes to read 1. 11 73 a0' ovirep 6 ILXovtos ovtos
(or avdLs) Tjp^aro j3Xe7ret^, connecting rl yap...dTr6\(*)Xa.
1 1 78. del ttXotjo-lol] And therefore they have nothing to be 'saved'
from, riches being the only thing worth coveting, poverty the only
danger worth escaping.
1 180. 6 54 Tis av~\ Repeat 20vcrev.
1 181. iKaWiepelrd] The active voice is generally used in Xenophon
and prose writers. The Scholiast says here idpTafcp iu r o'Ik($. Sacrifices
were always attended with feasting ; but the historians use KaWiepeip of
a king or general offering public sacrifice and obtaining good omens.
1 186. /cauro's] I too, like his worshippers, shall bid farewell to
Zeus.

dressed.
1205. reus fifr dWais k.t.X.] 'Commonly the mother (lees, sedi-
ment) is on the pots, here the pots are on the mother.' The meaning
of 'mother' is near enough to ypavs 'scum' to give a fair equivalent
pun.
