PREFACE.
THE present is an expurgated edition of the u Plutus"
of Aristophanes, based on the text of Bergk, and
designed to meet the wants of public schools, and of
private students preparing for University and other
examinations. The different readings in disputed
lines, together with their various interpretations, are
fully discussed in the Notes.

INTKODUCTION.
IT is strange that we should be so singu-
T* A fii larly ill-informed about the personal history
r * of the greatest comic poet of Greece. Two
Greek biographies one by Thomas Magister,
the other anonymous a notice by Suidas, a short con-
temporary sketch in Plato's Symposium, and such scraps
of information as we can gather from his own plays, supply
the materials for the Life of Aristophanes, and still leave
us in doubt as to the time and place of his birth and death.
Athens was probably his birthplace, although his father
Philippos had property in ^Egina. His Attic citizenship
is shown indirectly, for when at a later time Kleon, then
the foremost man at Athens, was smarting under the
comic lash, he prosecuted the poet on a ypa^rj ei/xs as
being a foreigner exercising civic rights, but even Kleon
could not procure a conviction. Again, his first play, the
AairaX^s (Banqueters), came out in 427 B.C., when he must
have been a young man. Thus his birth would probably
fall between 450 and 444 B.C. Plato pictures him as an
easy-going, pleasure-loving, gay young aristocrat, mixing
in the most fashionable society of his time, and always
expected to turn everything into ridicule. Happily, we
know a good deal about his writings. In the fourth year
of the Peloponnesian War his AatraXrJs received the
second prize. It was aimed at recent innovations, especially
the teachings of the Sophists, and praised the simplicity
of the old conservative education. Next year (426 B.C.)
appeared his Babylonians, in which he satirised Kleon so
mercilessly in presence of envoys with tribute from the
subject cities, that the indignant demagogue prosecuted
him on the cwr ^cvia-j mentioned above. Of these two
4 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
plays we have only fragments. The fact of his prosecution
is mentioned in the Acharnians (425 B.C.), the first of the
extant plays. This play obtained the first prize. It
compares the Ita-ro'sMps of war with the happiness of
peace, and concludes by Lamachos, the swashbuckler
gOEeial. being led in wounded, while Dikaiopolis, the
advocate of peace, enters under the mellow influence of
Bacchos. The object of the play was to expose the folly
of the war, and to support the aristocratic peace party
against the Jingoism of the democracy. In 424 B.C. the
first prize was won by the Knights ('ITTTT^S), which was the
first play produced by the poet in his own name. It per-
sonifies the Athenian Demos as an easy-going, dull-witted
old man with three slaves, Nikias, Demosthenes, and Kleon.
By bullying his fellow-slaves and flattering his master,
Kleon has obtained the ascendancy, till a sausage-seller
supplants him and gives Demos some sound advice. No
actor could be got to take the part of Kleon in this play,
and Aristophanes himself had to impersonate the dema-
gogue. Between the ultra -conservative poet and the rough
but resolute champion of the people there could be no
truce. Ifc is, however, a great error to receive these cari-
catures of Kleon and of the democracy as faithful historical
portraits. Grrote, in his famous History, has shown how
far they are from the truth. In 423 B.C. appeared the
Clouds, of which the extant play is a second edition. In
this play Sokrates and his Phrontisterion (Thinking-shop)
are singled out for ridicule ; but his bravery at Delion
in the previous year, and the knowledge that he was
an honest noble-minded man, induced the Athenians to
reject the clever but unjust caricature, and it was beaten
by the Hvrwr) (Wine-Flask) of Kratinos, and the Kowos of
Ameipsias. Though the caricature is so broad that we may
acquit the poet of any hostile intention, especially when
we remember that Plato in the Symposium introduces the
philosopher and the poet as boon- companions, yet it is to
be feared that some of this dramatic vilification of the
purest of heathen philosophers stuck, and must be con-
nected with the prosecution which twenty years later
forced Sokrates to drink the hemlock. But we must not
INTRODUCTION. 5
forget that the KoVi/os of Ameipsias was on the same
subject, and was preferred by the judges ; and any censure
that can apply to Aristophanes in this matter applies with
just as great force to Ameipsias. In 422 B.C. appeared
the Wasps, which is still extant. It ridicules the Dikasts,
luckless Athenian citizens, who for three obols a day spent
their lives as jurors in the law-courts. In the following
year the first edition of the Peace came out, with the
object of recommending the then expected peace of Nikias ;
and this object was favoured by the recent death of Kleon
and Brasidas. In 414 B.C. Aristophanes produced two
~? comedies, the Amphiaraos and the Birds, of which only the
> latter is extant. In the Birds, Ne^eAo/coKKirym (Cloud-
cuckoo-town) is a satire on the wild hopes of young Athens
of founding a Mediterranean empire in Sicily, whither an
expedition had sailed in the previous year. This piece is
full of the most sparkling wit and brilliant imagination.
, The Lusistrate (Disbander of Armies) came out in 411 B.C.,
' and represents all the women of Greece firm in their
resolution to live apart from their husbands until peace
$ is proclaimed. Next year appeared the Thesmophoriazousai
(Oelebrators of the Thesmophoria) , containing a fierce
onslaught on the morals of the Athenian women. The
f first edition of thejPZo^os appeared in 408 B.C. The Frogs
^ came out in 405 B.C., a little before the battle of Aigos
Potamoi, when Theramenes was the foremost man at
Athens and Alkibiades was in exile. This play is of deep
interest to us on account of its literary criticism. Dionusos
goes to Hades to find a good poet, Sophokles and Euripides
having both died in the preceding year. Aischulos and
Euripides contend for the palm, which is finally awarded
)3_to the former. The EkTdesiazousai (Women's Parliament)
came out about 393 B.C., and is valuable for the history of
Socialism and the theory of Woman's Bights. These
theories must have been long in the air at Athens before
they found expression in Plato's Politeia; and they are here
satirised by making the women meet in the Assembly,
dressed in their husbands' clothes, and decide that for
the future they must assume the reins of government, with
full participation in everything. The Ploutos, as we have
6 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
it, was put on the stage in 388 B.C., and is the last of the
eleven plays that have come down to us. The writer of
the Greek argument to the Ploutos tells us that this was
the last play Aristophanes exhibited in his own name, and
that he took the opportunity afforded by it of introducing
to the public his son Araros, who pat on the stage in his
own name the last two plays of his father, the Kokalos^
and the Aiolosikon. Shortly after this the poet died (pro-
bably about 380 B.C.), in all likelihood at Athens, the scene
of all his triumphs and of all his glory. There are about
730 Fragments of Aristophanes, all short and void of
interest. We have the titles of forty-four plays (see
Dindorf), and thirty are said to have been read by John
Chrysostom, but Suidas only knows our eleven.
These eleven comedies are of very high historical in-
terest to us because they present us with such an admirable
series of caricatures of the most prominent men of that
day, and with numerous parodies of the great tragic poets.
Aristophanes dealt the hardest blows to Euripides, of
whose greatness a strong proof is afforded by the fact
that his popularity was able to overcome the most brilliant
comic genius of Greece arrayed against it during the period
of its development. The personalities in which Aristo-
phanes indulged often descend into coarseness and inde-
cency ; sometimes he indulges in obscenity even for its
own sake, and makes a merit of it. This is the outcome
of the Naturalism of Greek religion as compared with
Christian Asceticism. Many things would be tolerated on
the stage by Athenians of the most refined taste, that among
us would be looked upon as shocking grossness. For such
a public the poet catered only too well : and hence the
occasional omissions imperatively demanded in school
editions even of the Ploutos, the purest of his plays, by
the standard of modern taste. The ingenuity of the poet
in the way of mechanical artifice is seen by his making
frogs croak choruses, pigs grunt a series of iambics, and
by the enormous length of some of his words. Of these
the most remarkable is one of 170 letters, at the end of
the Ekklesiazousai. Throughout all his plays, wherever
politics enter, Aristophanes consistently attacks the ad-

vanced Republicans and works for the Conservative party in
the State. In religion, although he was the champion of
orthodoxy against the new physical school represented by
Sokrates and Euripides, yet he does not hesitate to in-
dulge in orthodox profanity, and to present the popular
religion in a ludicrous light when it suits him. If he
roundly abused the people, he tells them it was for their
own good. The judgment passed by his contemporaries
on the great comic poet is crystallised in Plato's pointed
saying, that the soul of Aristophanes was a temple for the
Graces :

The Ploutos was first exhibited when
Diokles was Archon Eponumos at Athens
(B.C. 408); but the play which has come
down to us, and which is presented in the
following pages, is a later reconstruction of that earlier
play. The difference between the two plays is probably
very considerable. Although the work of the same poet,
they are separated from each other by a space of twenty
years, and belong to two different epochs in the history of
Greek comedy. It was not till 388 B.C., when Antipatros was
Archon, that the second edition the play as we have it
appeared. The earlier play, with the usual license of the
Old Comedy, would probably be more pointed and personal,
and more full of political allusions than the present one,
which has all the characteristic marks of the Middle
Comedy. A singular fact connected with this play is that
there were five poets in the competition, whereas in all the
other plays that have come down to us only three are
mentioned, who always obtain the first, second, and third
prize according to merit. It is likely enough that only
one prize was offered among the five; but, whether the
judges awarded it to Aristophanes or not, we do not know.
The plot of both plays appears to have been the same
the restoration of his sight to Ploutos and the consequent
redistribution of wealth. This we infer from the remark
of the scholiast on line 115, that the words Taurus

TravVctv, ^s *X ts > an d from an extract preserved by the
scholiast on Ranae, 1120.
Different theories were held about this
play, until Hitter wrote his famous preface
31 play ' with the object of showing that the work
before us is not the first play, nor a mixture
of the first and second, and in which he clearly proves that
it can be nothing but the second play. Here are a few of
the reasons. Verses 290, 292, 296, and 298, we are told
by the scholiast, were written to ridicule Philoxenos of
Cythera. This Philoxenos was a distinguished dithyrambic
poet, who was born in 435 B.C., and died about the same
time as Aristophanes himself (380 B.C.).^ He lived at the
court of the elder Dionusios, tyrant of Syracuse. To avenge
an insult offered him by the tyrant, he wrote a dramatic
piece called KvKAw^, in which Dionusios was carica-
tured under the name of the monster that gives the piece
its title, and a female flute-player was Galatea, while Phi-
loxenos himself was represented by Odusseus. Now, Dio-
nusios first obtained supreme power at Syracuse in 405 B.C.
Therefore it was after this date that the poet lived at his
court, and as the result of a disagreement wrote his lam-
poon. Hence Aristophanes could not imitate the Kv/cAwi^
of Philoxenos in the first edition of his Ploutos (408 B.C.),
but he could and has done so in the second (388 B.C.).
Again, Lais, who is mentioned in line 179 and satirised in
line 309 as Kirke, was only fourteen years of age in 408
B.C., and could not then be so very notorious for her former
(TTOT') mischief. Athenian mercenaries are mentioned in
line 173 as being then in Corinth, and this can only refer
to the War of the Allies, which lasted from 395 to 387 B.C.,
when the war was brought to an end by the Peace of
Antalkidas. Line 1146, /AT) /Ai/^cri/ca/ojo^?, d av 3>v\rjv
KaTeAa/:?9, must have been written after the capture of
Phule by Thrasuboulos in B.C. 404. Many other proofs
are adduced by Hitter to show that this is the later play,
and the evidence is so convincing that no room is left for
doubt.
INTRODUCTION. 9
Although the play belongs to the Middle
Persons Comedy, we find some contemporaries satirised
Satirised, by name. Chief amongst these are Dionusios,
Agurrhios, and Timotheos. Thrasuboulos is
named, not in satire, but merely to give point to a joke by
reference to a well-known event in the political history of
Athens. Agurrhios is mentioned in an omitted line, 176.
It is said of him in the Ekklesiazousai (393 B.C.) that
hitherto he was as unheard of as a woman, but now
TT parrei ra fjiiyior eV rfj TroXet. The reason of his sudden
fame was because he had, a short time before the repre-
sentation of the EkMesiazousai, won the favour of the mob
by raising the pay of those who attended the public
assembly (/xtaftos eK/cA^o-iaon/cos) to three obols. On the
death of Thrasuboulos, Agurrhios was elected in his place
to command the fleet cruising around the islands off the
coast of Asia Minor. Dionusios the tyrant, the oppressor
of the Sicilians, is contrasted (line 550) with Thrasuboulos
who restored Athenian liberty. Timotheos, Konon's son,
soon to become famous as a naval hero, is already known
for his extravagant taste in architecture (line 180). We
know something of Pamphilos (line 174, but different
from the Pamphilos mentioned in line 385) from a frag-
ment of Plato the comic writer, which has been preserved
by the Scholiast
Kal VTI At' ei Ud^(pi\6v 76
TO tio'iv 1 a^a re
upon which the commentary of the Scholiast is, that
Pamphilos had embezzled public money, for which he was
punished by having his property confiscated and by being
driven into exile. The same authority tells us that the
Needle-Seller (BeAoi/oTnoA^s, line 175) was a hanger-on of
Pamphilos ; and Dindorf states that, from scholia not yet
published, we know his name to have been Aristoxenos
Philonides (line 179) was an ugly old man, famous for
his wealth and luxurious living. Patrokles (line 84) was
a tragic poet and a man of wealth, but very miserly in
character, and, through his zeal for Spartan manners, not
remarkable for his cleanliness. .Philepsios (line 177) was

a marvellous story-teller who had acquired a local reputa-
tion at Athens for his wonderful yarns, but like Patrokles
he is known to us only through the Scholiast. Pauson
(line 602) was a painter who did not thrive by the brush
and palette, and the Scholiast tells us that from him arose
the proverb Havo-wvos TTTw^orcpos. Another Greek proverb
NeoKAeiSov fcA.7rrtVTcpos found in Suidas, is traceable to
the NeoKAeafys mentioned in line 665, who was notorious as
a public speaker, sycophant, and swindler.
Turning from the persons laughed at in the
Political Ploutos, we find that the allusions made to
Allusions, contemporary politics are very few. We might
expect it to have been otherwise. The twenty
years that elapsed between the first and second represen-
tation of the Ploutos were the most eventful in the whole
range of Athenian history. Athens proved herself Queen
of the Waves at Arginousai, and with blind fatuity im-
mediately afterwards executed six of her conquering
captains on trumped-up charges. Then followed in rapid
succession the disaster of Aigos Potamoi, the blockade of
Athens by sea and land, the triumphal entry of Lusandros,
the Government of the Thirty, the capture of Phule by
the exiled Thrasuboulos and his restoration of the demo-
cracy at Athens, followed by a general amnesty, the form-
ation of an Anti- Spartan League after an interval of nine
years, the battle of Corinth, Konon's annihilation of the
Spartan fleet off Knidos, the massacre of Corinth, the re-
building of the walls of Athens by Konon, and the victories
of the Athenian commanders, Thrasuboulos and Iphikrates,
over the Spartans. Only two of these events are glanced
at in the play the capture of Phule (404 B.C.) and the
proclamation of an amnesty by the triumphant democracy
is metaphorically introduced in line 1146, and in line 173
the poet tells us that it is gold that maintains the Athenian
mercenaries at Corinth. This refers to the League against
Sparta, organised in 395 B.C. by Tithraustes, a Persian
satrap, in order to thwart the progress of the valiant
Spartan king Agesilaos. Agesilaos had just won a series
of splendid victories over the Persians in Asia Minor, and
INTRODUCTION. 11
was preparing to penetrate into the heart of the Persian
empire ; but the gold of Tithraustes induced the three
states of Thebes, Corinth, and Argos to form an Anti-
Spartan League ; and Athens, unsolicited and unbribed,
longing for political vengeance alone, gave her enthusiastic
support to an alliance that seemed to offer a ready means
of wiping out her national dishonour and of humbling her
successor in the supremacy of Greece. Corinth was the
headquarters of the allies, and hence we find Athens
maintaining a body of mercenary troops at Corinth in
388 B.C. This war was brought to an end the following
year by the Peace of Antalkidas. A very obscure line
rj ^VfjifJiax^a 8' ov Sia <rl rots AlyviTTiois (line 178) has caused
endless trouble to commentators in their endeavours to
reconcile it with history. Bitter has clearly shown that
it refers to a revolt in Egypt against the King of Persia
in 389 B.C. We have the authority of Isokrates (p. 69,
D.E.) for the fact that such a revolt did break out in
Egypt three years before the war between the Persians
and the Cyprian chief Euagoras. Now, the Cyprian war
began in 386 B.C. ; hence it follows that this Egyptian war
began in 389 B.C., the year before this play was exhibited,
and the passage in our text proves that the Athenians
helped the Egyptians in their struggle.
A Greek Play, whether comedy or tragedy,
Divisions ^ s ^ e following divisions (1) the Prologos,
Greek Play ^) *^ e P ar d s i (3) the Epeisodion, with
choral odes inserted between, and (4) the
Exodos. The Parabasis is peculiar to comedy. The Pro-
logos corresponds to the First Act of a modern play, and is
the part that precedes the Parodos, or first entrance of the
Chorus into their places in the orchestra. The Parodos
was so called because the Chorus effected a side-entrance,
instead of entering on the stage and descending therefrom
by the steps to the orchestra. The Epeisodion (what comes
in besides) is the name given to all those portions of
dialogue that lie between the choral songs from the Parodos
to the Exodos. When the Chorus has sung the last ode,
the portion of the play that still remains is called the
12 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
Exodos. The Parabasis of a Greek comedy bears a con-
siderable resemblance to the Prologue of a Latin play in
its general purpose, and because it was wholly disconnected
with the main action. It received its name from the fact
that the Chorus came forward from its usual place, and
advanced towards the spectators to deliver an address to
them. This address was delivered in the author's name,
and touched upon matters of public interest or matters
personal to the poet himself, calling attention to his own
merits and criticising his rivals. It differed, however,
from a Latin Prologue inasmuch as it was always de-
livered somewhere in the middle of the play, and as a rule
soon after the first Chorus ; whereas the Prologue of a
Latin comedy was spoken before a play began. Only
three of the plays of Aristophanes are without the Para-
basis. One of these is the Ploutos, the other two are the
Ekklesiazousai and Lusistrate. In our play the Prologos
extends as far as line 252, at the end of which Chremulos
and Ploutos leave the stage, while Karion and the chorus
come round by a side entrance into the presence of the
spectators. The Parodos of the Chorus begins at line 253,
and continues till the entry of Chremulos at the end of
line 321. The first part of the Epeisodion begins at line
322 and goes down to line 626, when a Choral interlude
was probably sung. The second part of the Epeisodion
brings us down to line 770, when the Chorus probably
sings again. Then follows the third part a very short
scene in which Ploutos is introduced with his sight
restored. At line 801 he leaves the stage, and there is
another interlude to allow Ploutos time to visit and
enrich the family of Chremulos, which enrichment is then
described by Karion, who begins the fourth part of the
Epeisodion at line 802. This goes on until the final dis-
appearance of the Informer (line 958). Then follows the
scene between the affected old woman, Chremulos, and the
young man (11. 959-1096), which forms the fifth part. The
sixth and last part of the Epeisodion is the scene between
Hermes and Karion (11. 1097-1170), at the end of which
the Chorus sing their last ode. Thus the Epeisodion of the
Ploutos has five parts, and lasts from line 322 to line 1170.
INTRODUCTION. 13
The Exodos of the play (1. 1171 to the end) is taken up
with the scene between the priest of Zens, Chrenrulos,
and the old woman, as they move off to enthrone Plontos.
On turning from the different parts of the
Metres of play to the metres in which they are written,
the Ploutos. we find the whole of the Prologos consists of
iambic senarii. In the Parodos, 11. 253-289
are iambic tetrameter catalectic. In the two strophes
290-295 (there is an omission in 1. 295) and 296-301
the first three lines and the last line of each strophe are
iambic tetrameter catalectic, but the fourth and fifth lines
in each case are iambic dimeter acatalectic. In the next
two strophes 11. 302-308, and 309-315 the first, second,
and fourth lines are in each case iambic tetrameter catalectic
(but in 1. 312 a spondee and an iambus are omitted in this
text); the third and fifth lines are iambic dimeter acatalectic;
the sixth line is an iambic senarius, and the seventh an iam-
bic dimeter catalectic. In Karion's admonition to the Chorus
the first and last lines (11. 316 and 321) are iambic tetra-
meter catalectic, while the four intervening lines are iambic
dimeter acatalectic. In the first part of the Epeisodion (11.
322486) the metre is the ordinary iambic senarius ; but
at 1. 487 it changes to anapaestic tetrameter catalectic, and
this metre is continued as far as the end of 1. 597. Here
begins a series of dimeters consisting of spondees and ana-
paests, or a combination of both, down to the end of 1. 618.
From 619626 the verses are iambic senarii. The second
part of the Epeisodion 11.627-770 consists of iambic
senarii alone, and this is also true of all its remaining parts.
The Exodos, likewise, consists of iambic senarii from its
beginning (1. 1171) to the end of 1. 1207, and the last two
lines of the play are anapaestic tetrameter catalectic. Thus
from 1. 619 to 1. 1207 the verses are exclusively iambic
senarii. The metres of this play are easy on account of
the absence of Choral odes.
What strikes one most in reading through

cause. When the triremes of Athens swept the Aegean, and

the glory of Athenian Ascendency was still unshaken in
Hellas, the richest of the citizens voluntarily, by rotation
or by appointment, undertook the performance of public
duties involving heavy expenditure. The Choregia, or
defraying of the cost of the solemn public Choruses, was
the heaviest of these Leitourgiai or public duties. The
Chorus in the Old Comedy always consisted of twenty-
four. All of these had to be paid, trained, fitted out with
appropriate costume, and maintained for a considerable
time at the cost of the Choregos. Still there were men
who had the public spirit to do all this, when they had
the means of doing it, in the old days of the greatness of
Athenian democracy. But, when the whole navy of Athens,
except a few ships, were given over to the Spartans, when
Athens was forced to recognise Spartan supremacy on land
and sea, when the Long Walls were made level with the
ground to the strains of the Spartan flute, then, in the
midst of a humiliated and impoverished people the cir-
cumstances of the case seemed to require the total aboli-
tion of the Chorus : ov yap eri TrpoOv/jiiav eT^ov ot 'AOrjvaioi.

rovttv, as Platonios, quoted by Dindorf, says. This might
well be so, after the fateful 18th day of Mounuchion, B.C.
404. Another reason is supplied by Horace, Ars Poetica,
1. '282, Ac. :
" In vitium libertas excidit et vim
Dignam lege regi ; lex est accepta chorusque
Turpiter obticuit, sublato jure nocendi."
No doubt this reason exercised a strong influence in the
same direction. When, by the law of Antimachus, it was
forbidden ovo/xao-rt KoyiwSetv, and the poets' audience could
no longer be gratified by ludicrous caricatures of swash-
buckler generals, like Lamachos in the Acliarnians and
Peace, and Kleon in the Knights and Wasps, of a great
philosopher like Sokrates in the Clouds, or of a distin-
guished poet like Euripides in the Frogs, but had to
remain satisfied with a Comedy of Life and Manners that
was of universal application, and resembled in some degree
the comedies of Vanbrugh and Farquhar ; then comedy,
having lost its old personal and political interest, would

naturally decline, and the Chorus would consequently
suffer.
Yet, the Chorus was not wholly abolished, as we may
see from the present play. They enter at line 257, in com-
pany with Karion, and, when they hear the good news,
they express their desire to dance (/3ovAo/*ai xopcOcrai, 1. 288),
which they proceed to do, led by Karion. The strophes
sung by them during their dance are, in 1. 316, called
o-Kw/A/x-ara. Karion now invites them to quit these O-KCD/A-
fjLara and turn their attention CTT' a\\' etc>os, thereby clearly
contrasting what they have been doing with something
they are just going to do. The scholiast says that the
words CTT' aAA' etSos refer to another kind of song different
from the rude jests that have gone before, and the word
Xopov is here and elsewhere used in the text to mark the
place where it was sung.

Xopov. Dindorf explains it as pfjcris or /co/upmov
Xopov. What the Chorus did at the places
marked xPv is a matter of conjecture. Bitter is of
opinion that the Chorus here sang odes as in the Old
Comedy, but that these odes were never inserted in the
play as it appeared before the reading public at Athens,
and were only composed to be sung in the orchestra, and
were, moreover, much inferior in merit and style of com-
position to the beautiful choral odes of the Old Comedy.
He believes they were lost from the play because they
had never been inserted in the text of the play, and
that they were only given to the members of the Chorus,
and only sung to suit the needs of stage management.
Dindorf holds a different view. He thinks that, no matter
whether it was the grammarians or the poet that wrote
the word xP^-> a ^ that the word implies is that on such
occasions the actors should have a considerable rest, such
as would have been filled up by a choral ode in the Old
Comedy days. This seems very improbable. Dindorf and
Bitter agree in thinking that both the number of persons
in the chorus and the number of the choral songs were
16
very much decreased, so that the small part played by the
Chorus in this comedy was played by a chorus of eight or
twelve, i.e., only one-third or one-half the strength of an
ordinary comic chorus ; and thus the expense would be-
come very small. Blaydes takes the words oXX' eTSos to
refer to dancing alone, unaccompanied by any song.
Besides 11. 290-315, which were sung by the Chorus while
they danced, 11. 637, 639, and 640 were also sung by the
Chorus in this play. The Chorus, then, was still retained
in the Middle Comedy probably to sing odes of a less diffi-
cult and less ambitious kind, which served as interludes
and allowed the actors time to breathe, and the stage-
manager time to get everything ready for the next scene.
The Chorus was also retained to converse with the actors,
for which see 11. 257-260, 487-488, 962-963, &c.
The Ploutos is an Allegory, of which the
Argument following is a brief sketch. Chremulos was
the Ploutos. a g 0( l old Attic farmer, a just, honest, God-
fearing man, yet poverty-stricken withal.
He went with his slave Karion to consult Apollo, and see
whether the god would advise him to throw over honesty,
and bring up his son to be dishonest like everybody else.
This he did because he saw that it was only the dishonest
who became rich, while men of righteous lives were sunk
in poverty. The reply of the oracle was indirect. It only
told him to follow the first man he met when he left the
temple. He meets an old blind man, whom he follows as
directed. Karion soon grumbles at their following the
blind old man, and Chremulos then tells him about the
oracle. By having recourse to threats, they force the old
man to tell who he is. He tells them he is Ploutos, and
gives the reason why Zeus struck him with blindness.
Then they form a plan for restoring his sight by placing
him in the temple of Asklepios. Blepsidemos, an informer,
appears, and wants to get to the bottom of the reports he
has heard in the barbers' shops, and undertakes to arrange
the matter for a small consideration so that Chremulos
shall not be prosecuted by the people. Poverty, when
she hears of the unholy plot to drive her out of Greece,
INTRODUCTION. 17
comes in and pleads her cause with good, sound logic; but,
in spite of all her arguments, Chremulos is determined
not to be persuaded by her, even if she shows him she
is right. Ploutos is then removed to the temple of
Asklepios, where his sight is restored. Then he enriches
every one distinguished for piety towards the gods and
justice towards their fellow men, while the impious suffer.
Mercury comes down from the gods, complaining that,
since the good had grown rich, the gods had received no
sacrifices ; and he finally takes service with Chremulos and
abandons Zeus. A priest of Zeus, the Saver, enters in a
state of starvation, as all his perquisites have now disap-
peared. He, likewise, abandons his old post and takes
service under Ploutos, the true Zeus. Then they all escort
Ploutos to the temple in procession, and there he is in-
stalled to reign instead of Zeus. Addison, in his excellent
little sketch of this play (Spectator, No. 464), does not
appear to have caught the object with which the poet
wrote it. That object can hardly be anything else than
to satirise the irregularities and injustices of society and
the apparently false distribution of wealth by the gods.
In this play the poet tears himself away
f rom the great political interests of the State,
Ploutos *^ e cons ^ an t theme of all his earlier comedies.
His satire in the Ploutos is of universal appli-
cation to all races and ages of men, inasmuch as it is aimed
at defects and perversities that we meet in every-day life.
The conception on which it is based is of lasting signi-
ficance ; and the persons have the general character of
their conditions and employments. The language is more
decent and less offensive than in the earlier plays of the
poet, but at the same time the fun is not so jovial and
boisterous. These facts, coupled with the absence of the
Parabasis and Choral Odes, stamp the Ploutos with all the
salient features of the Middle Comedy.
The derivation of the word Kw^wSia is
Origin no t certain. By those who see the origin
Greek Comedy ^ come( ty ^ n ^he Phallic choral songs, it
is derived from KCO/XOS, and explained to
mean the revel-song. Aristotle rejects this derivation,
B
18 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
traces the word to Kto/xry, and explains it as the village-song.
He says the Dorians invented comedy, and quotes the
terms used as evidence : " for the outlying villages which
the Athenians called dfjfjioi, the Dorians called K<o/xat, as
comedians were so called, not from joining in the pro-
cession of revellers (KUJ/XOS), but on account of their wander-
ing through the villages, because they were held in no
repute in the city." This derivation is probably the
correct one, and is not at variance with the term T/ovya>Sia,
the song of the vintage feast, the lee-song, as it would pro-
bably be at vintage time that people would be in the
frame of mind for their jovial village processions, and
would smear their faces with wine-lees and hurl licentious
jokes and personal jibes at everybody they met. Athenian
comedy was probably borrowed from Megara, the birth-
place of Susarion, who introduced it among the Athenians
early in the sixth century B.C. After him we find a long
list of comic poets, such as Chionides, Euxenides, Mullos,
Magnes, and Ekphantides, who are little more than names
to us.
INTRODUCTION. 19
THREE PERIODS OF ATTIC COMEDY.
Attic Comedy is generally divided into three periods
the Old, the Middle, and the New. The first great name
in the Old Comedy is Kratinos, but by far the greatest
name in the whole range of Greek Comedy is Aristophanes,
whose best plays belong to this first period. The usual
date assigned to the Old Comedy is 458 404 B.C. Its
distinguishing mark is political caricature. It had a
Chorus of twenty-four, who danced the Ko/aSa, a sort of
cancan, with immodest gestures and licentious movements.
It had choral odes and a Parabasis, the nature of which
latter has been already explained, as well as the cause of
the decline of the Old Comedy. The Middle Comedy
lasted from 404 B.C. to 338 B.C., i.e., from the conquest of
Athens by Lusandros to the conquest of Hellas by Philip
at Chaironeia. After Aristophanes, three of whose plays
the Lusistrate, the EJcJclesiazousai, and the Ploutos are
classified as belonging to this period in character, the best
known poets of the Middle Comedy are Antiphanes and
Alexis. The satire of the Middle Comedy was general,
and not particular ; it criticised philosophical systems and
discussed the merits of literateurs ; it largely travestied
mythology, and parodied great poets. Its plot often
turned on a love intrigue ; it had no Parabasis, and its
Chorus was diminished or wholly dispensed with. It
never attacked anybody by his own name, as did the Old
Comedy, but sometimes it attacked well-known personages
under an assumed name, as in the Ploutos. The New
Comedy lasted from 338 B.C. to the Roman times, and
found its best exponents in Menandros, Philemon, and
Diphilos. It reproduced in a very generalised way a
picture of everyday life, had no Chorus whatsoever, and
discarded the thinly-veiled personalities, the caricature,
and the parody, which had still remained in the Middle
Comedy. Its spirit, and often its letter, was faithfully
reproduced on the Roman stage by Plautus and Terence,
and its general character still survives in the modern
comedy of life and manners.
20 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
GREEK THEATRES.
All theatres throughout Greece and Asia Minor were
built of stone, situated on hill-sides, and modelled after the
theatre at Athens, which was on the south-east slope of the
Akropolis. In all of them the place for the spectators
formed the north-west, and the stage the south-east part,
while the orchestra lay between the two. A small entrance
fee, usually two obols, was exacted at Athens, and men
alone were allowed to be present at comedies. The opx^o-rpa
(dancing -place} was nearly in the very centre of the
theatre. It was a perfect circle, and about three-quarters
of its circumference was surrounded by the benches of the
spectators, while next to these benches were two broad
spaces (TrapoSoi) on the right and left for the entry of the
chorus. A small segment of the orchestral circle still
remained, and here the stage was always placed. The
orchestra was lower than the lowest benches of the
audience, and it was in it that the chorus performed its
evolutions. The stage was raised above the level of the
orchestra, and was connected with it by steps at either
side. By these steps the chorus, whenever it took a real
part in the action, probably ascended the stage ; but its
usual position was between the Ov^fXri (or altar of
Dionusos, which was in the very centre of the orchestra)
and the stage. The Greek curtain, unlike ours, did not
conceal the stage ; it concealed nothing but the cr/o/vij, or
wall representing the scenery at the back of the stage.
The stage, in our sense of the word, was always visible
in a Greek theatre. It was called Trpocr/o/viov, and extended
from the a-KrjvTj to the edge of the stage next the orchestra.
Its front part, where the actors spoke, was called the
Xoyctov or oKpifias. Again, unlike ours, the Greek curtain
was not raised or rolled up when a play began; it was
lowered or rolled down till it finally disappeared beneath
the stage. It was called TrapaTreVaoyx.** or avXaia. The
scenery painted on the CTK^VTJ, in a comedy, generally
represented the front of a dwelling-house. Throughout
the whole of the Ploutos the scenery represented the house
INTRODUCTION. 21
of Chremulos. The Otarpov (seeing -place}, in its narrower
sense, as denoting that portion of the entire structure
where the spectators were seated, was sometimes called
KotAov, as it was generally a real excavation from a rock,
and the seats were for the most part cut out of the rock
and consisted of rows of benches rising tier above tier
It had room for about 30,000 spectators, and, like the
orchestra, had no roof. The Archons, generals, ambas-
sadors, and people of distinction were accommodated with
the seats nearest to the orchestra, and the occupants of
these seats, but no others, seem to have had sometimes
the luxury of a covering overhead.

NOTES.
1 50. Enter Karion, Chremulos, and Ploutos. Karion behind is
grumbling that his master Chremulos is downright mad, in
that he aimlessly follows, instead of leading, a blind man.
Karion determines to know the secret of their following the
mysterious stranger. Chremulos reveals the reply of the
oracle. Kari6n interprets the same.
2. irapa<|>povovvTOS : "crazy." The slave of ancient comedy is
generally represented as wiser than his master ; and the master
usually, at least in the later Greek comedy and its Eoman
imitators, as on his guard lest he should be tricked by an
artful slave.
3. TO, pcXrio-ra Xeas Tv\fl : " should happen to recommend the best
course." For the construction Aeas TVXP, see Goodwin's School
Grammar, 279 (4).
4. SOT|, K.T.X. : "but seem to his master not to do so." ^ is at-
tached to Spav, not to 86r). The verb Krdo^ai and its derivative
KTrj/j.a are often used to express the relation of slave to master
or mistress in Ancient Greece. Cp. Pollux III., 73, <f>pui/t%os ev
^arvpois rb;/ SecTTr^TTj*' Ke/cryj^eVoi/ toi>6p.a.fftv', Ekklesiazousai, 1126,
Trjs [Arjs /ce/CTT^ev^s ; Arist., Rhet. I., 4, SovAos /cTTj/^a ri eyu^u^or*
5. avd-yKT] : the ellipse of eVn after this word, of which construction
we have here an example, is very frequent.
6. o-o>(jiaTos : governed both by Kvpiov and by Kparclv. "Does not allow
the natural owner (i.e., the slave himself) of the body to rule
the body." /cparew governs a genitive by virtue of its com-
parative meaning, Kp^irrcav el^i. See Goodwin's School Gram-
mar, 175 (2).
8. Tavra JJL^V Sfj raOra : sc. effTiv, "these things indeed are so."
Aogias : a common epithet of Apollo, viewed as the god of
prophecy. The adjective \o6s = indirect, ambiguous, was
applied to his prophecies by the ancients, who appear to have
derived Aortas from Ao|os. However, the word probably comes
from Ae^co, Ao7os. Aow, a feminine form of Aoi'ay, was an
epithet applied to Artemis.
62 ARISTOPHANES' PLTJTUS.
9. In this line, and several other places in the play, Aristophanes
uses the solemn language of tragedy with ludicrous effect.
For 0e<T7ria;5eT, cp. Aesch. Agam., 1161, and Eurip. Phoenissae,
959. For xpvff-qXdrov, cp. Aesch. Theb., 644, and Soph. Oed.
Tyr., 1268.
10. |XC|JA|/IV, K.r.X. : "I have this just cause of complaint against
Loxias."
11. Apollo had in all seven attributes (for which see Smith's Classical
Dictionary) , only two of which are mentioned here. As /AWTIS
the name Aortas is suitable to Apollo, but as Iarp6s he was
identified after the Homeric age as Uaicav, Uaidv, or IIai7ja>j>, the
physician of the gods, and invoked with the shout n^ie Uaidv.
Cp. Aesch. Agam., 146, and Soph. Oed. Tyr., 154.
12. xeXa-oXtovT' : " stark mad."
13. KO,T<$mv : here used as a preposition governing avOpwnov (cp.
Equites, 625, cv6vs yap avrov KaT^-niv eV0ei/5' fe^rjj'), although it
is usually an adverb. The word at best is pleonastic.
ct/coAou0eo>, by itself, would require a dative case. Cp. line 19,
infra.
14. Tovvavrfov . . . f\ : tvavrios is mostly followed by a genitive, but
also by a dative. The construction we have here is occasionally
found elsewhere, and is perhaps to be explained by an ellipsis
involving a comparative "doing the opposite (rather) than
doing what he ought to have done," i.e., "doing the opposite
to what he ought to have done."
16. oSros : Chremulos. /cu^ue irpoo-fiideTai, " and he compels me
likewise (to do the same)."
17. aTroKpivojie'vo), K.T.\. : " and that although he (the blind man)
does not vouchsafe us at all even a single syllable in reply."
Bentley reads airoKpivd/Aevos, and is followed by Meineke and
Holden. This would mean that Chremulos does not deign to
reply to the enquiries of Karion. Another reading is
cbro/cpij/oyueVou, a genitive absolute, which might refer to either
Chremulos or Ploutos. But the best reading appears to be
the one in the text, which is governed by atcoXovQe'i in the
previous line.
18. OVK &r0' frircos <ri i yf|<rofi.ai : " it is impossible that I will hold my
tongue." Cp. Goodwin's School Grammar, 217.
20. erol irap^gw irpd-yp-aTa : "I will worry you"; more literally, " I
will cause you trouble."
21. TvirrT|<ms : this is the usual form of the future of TUTTTW in Attic
Greek.
o-T<jxxvov, K.T.X. : it was the custom for all who went to consult
the oracle of Apollo at Delphi to wear laurel -wreaths till they
returned home ; and to strike such a person while he wore the
NOTES. 63
wreath and was under the protection of the god would be
regarded as sacrilegious.
22. (xd. At' : " Nay, by Zeus." Understand ov before /j.d.
25. iruvOdvojJLat : "I make the enquiry." The phrase navv a-<j>68pa
modifies evvovs.
27. K\irrto-TaTOv : this is an instance of the figure known as
-rrapa irpoo-SoKixi' (contrary to expectation), a kind of joke much
relished by the Greeks.
30. prjropcs : Aristophanes is fond of attacking the orators. Other
instances in this play are to be found in lines 379 and 567.
34. KTToi<r9at : "to have been spent." Life is here likened to a
quiver full of arrows, which are shot away, one by one.
35. TOV 8' vlov ... clvcu iravovp-yov : ace. and inf. dependent upon xp?-
37. v-yt^s p.T]8 '<iv : "without even a single atom of honesty." Observe
that vyies is neuter agreeing with eV, whereas the preceding
adjectives are masculine to agree with vUv.
39. The mock solemnity of this line is a parody on the language of
the tragedians. Cp. Eurip. Med., 674 ; Orest., 162 ; Soph.
Trachin., 824.
43. 7T6i6eiv 8' : supply fKetvov.
48. SrjXov OTtf), K.T.X. : i.e., drify TOVTO So/ceT ST/AO^ Kal TV(f>\<p yvuvai,
wj, &c. " Because this seems clear even for the blind to com-
prehend, that," &c. ST?AO</ OTL^ is not the same as STJAOJ/ 2rt,
which occurs below in lines 826, 873, and 1003.
51 100. Chremulos disagrees with this interpretation, and thinks the
best thing to do is to ask the blind man who he is. The latter
reluctantly, and after much pressure, reveals that he is Ploutos,
and then expresses a desire to go away.
is TOVTO pert : " inclines in this direction." The metaphor is
from scales.
53. ovTO<r\ : nom. to $pd<rr]. TOV in this and the following line is
the Attic form of rivos.
65. xpil<r|>v : an example of the nom. of a relative clause being
attracted into the accusative by the preceding verb. "We
might learn what our oracle means." For this construction
cp. Acharn., 649 ; Aves, 1269.
57. Tairl TOVTO is 8pw : "am I to take extreme measures?" 5pw is
deliberative subjunctive mood; rairl rovrois, " the measures
consequent (on your refusal)."
58. ol|iwtiv : "to go and howl," or "to go to the deuce." The
verbs oico and aldfa are formed from the interjections ot and erf,
just as this verb is from ofyioi. Cp. Germ, dchzen from ach !
and the Eng. expression " to pooh-pooh a thing."
64 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
58. fj.av0ci.veis : Karion being somewhat taken aback at the gruff
reply of the blind man, affects to misunderstand him, and says
to his master, " Do you understand who he says he is ? " but
Chremulos, who is alive to the situation, says, "It is to you
he makes use of that (rude expression), and not to me."
61. This line is addressed to Ploutos by Chremulos, who thinks that
Karion failed to elicit an answer on account of his threats.
The mild language of Chremulos is equally unsuccessful.
63. " Welcome your (honest) man, and the omen of the god."
Karion says this in triumph at the discomfiture of his master.
6pvis is frequently used for the prophecy taken from the cry or
flight of birds, like Lat. avis for auynrium ; and sometimes, as
here, for an omen in general, without any direct reference to
birds ; cp. Arcs, 719-722.
64. Chremulos being a farmer, swears by Demeter, the goddess of
farmers, that the mysterious stranger shall no longer escape
unpunished, if he does not make known who he is.
65. aird a-' 6Xw : tmesis for O.TTO\> at.
66. w ToLv : clearly dual in this passage. It is generally singular, but
is also found in the plural. The Scholiast on Plato's Apologia
writes of this word: " <S TO.V : & OVTOS, & ercupe, & TO.XO.V,
& jtieAe* TavTa irapa TO?S vewrepois virb TWI' yvva.iK.Soi> \eyeTai /J,6v(i)V,

(TuAAaySr/f 7rfpio"irw(TL, TT\V 5e Seurepa*' fiapvvovtn. The word is
probably an old form of TV, TVVTI, than, Sanskrit tvam. The
gloss of Hesychius is " rav <rv 'ATTZ/CWS," in which he makes
the word a perispomenon, contrary to the Attic custom men-
tioned by the Scholiast on the Apologia. The ancients wrote
it variously as Stray, wrav, and WTO.V. Some modern editors
write & 'rav, taking it as a vocative of era// ; others < TO.V
without the apostrophe ; others again 3> 'TCW, as if it were the
voc. case of CTTJS, with which it may possibly be connected ;
but, on the whole, the reading adopted in the text appears to be
the most in conformity with Attic usage. Translate, "My
good friends, go away from me, both of you." The student
should distinguish between this rdv, or rav ; rdf, crasis for
ra ej/ ; and T&V, Attic crasis for rot &v. ir(i>/j.a\a = ouSa^iws.
69. dvaOels . . . KaraXnrwv : asyndeton for avaOels Kal KaTaXnr&v.
70. KTpaxilX.io-0fj irea-wv : "may fall and break his neck." Cp. Nubes,
1501, and Lysistrata, 705.
71. Observe the distinction between OVKOVV, therefore, then, and OVKOW,
not . . . therefore ; not . . . then.
72. p.' : here represents /^e, although the genitive is required by the
regular construction.
XOTES. 65
74. T|[jtis V sc. d<f>T|<ro(Xv : "we will let you go away (wherever you
like)." 4av /3ov\r] ye av, " if you wish (to go away)."
75. |j.0(r0, K.T.X.. : " then first let go your hold of me."
implies that Ploutos was actually held by their hands, whereas
afyyatTov refers to his desire to get away from their company.
jv = ISov.
77. ?\ : a contraction of ea, as 77877 of rjSea, 1st p. sing. Usually
written fy.
79. dvSpwv : used as if he were addressing a mortal. Cp. Avcs, 1638.
80. <x0>aws 8iaKtp.vos : " in wretched plight."
83. avTOTa-ros : " his very self." Cp. Lat. 'ipsissimus in Plaut.
Trinum. IV., 2, 144. The comparative avT6repos is found in
Epicharm. Fr., 2. The word is a comic superlative like
/j-ovuiTaros in line 182. Other examples of this kind are
AavaaiTaros, fraiporaros, /3aTiAetrrepos, Trpo/Sdrepos, and olorepos.
84. K IIaTpoK\ovs : " from (the house of) Patrokles." This
Patrokles appears to have been a wealthy Athenian, who
practised the iSpartan disregard for the toilet. SeeAves, 1281.
86. TOUTI TO KCIKOV : blindness.
89. o>s : the preposition = to.
93. KCU |XTJV : used here with an adversative force (" and yet "), con-
trary to its ordinary usage.
95. irpb TOV : "before this (time)." Here TOV is the demonstrative
pronoun, and in prose the phrase is sometimes preceded by the
article, e.g., eV T< npb TOV XP OV V> Thucyd. I., 32.
98. Brunck's reading, t&puv 8ia xp vov i seems preferable to that
given in the text. Cp. 1045, infra. The sense required is,
" I have not seen them for a long time," whereas ovirw means
" not yet."
99. Even Chremulos, with his excellent sight, had not been able for
a long time past to see an honest man at Athens.
100. TO/IT' : either for TO, eVJ or ra avb. In the former case, which is
the more likely, raw' e/xoD = " everything in reference to me";
in the latter, "all (you want to know) from me."
101 253. Chremulos and Karion, finding out that the mysterious
blind man is Ploutos, break their promise, and will not let
him go. They succeed in persuading him to remain with them.
Chremulos shows that Zeus and his thunders are not worth
three-halfpence, and that if Ploutos refused supplies, he could
easily overthrow the supremacy of Zeus. All the arts and
trades depend on Ploutos, and nobody can ever have enough of
him. Chremulos tells Karion to summon his friends, the other
farmers, to see Ploutos and share in the luck.
E
66 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
106. ir\T|v : often, as here, used as an adverb after &\\os, jus like ^,
Lat. quam.
109. a.T6xvws, K.T.X. : "they simply go beyond all bounds in their
villainy."
111. o![Au>i n<xKpd : " you shall pay dearly (for your low opinion of
us all." Lit., "you shall howl, so as to be heard a long way
off."
112. <rol : dependent on ye^arer' , " shall be thine."
114. This verse is a parody on the thoughtful and pious language of
the tragedians. Cp. Soph. Elect., 459, ol/ji.ai fte*/ olv ol/nai. For
the second part, cp. Eurip. Medea, 625, vvp.fytv' I<TWS yap, crbv
115. We are informed by a Scholiast on this line, that this play was
twice put on the stage at Athens first in the Archonship of
Diokles (B.C. 408), and again when Antipater was Archon in
B.C. 388 ; and that this present line, although in the text of
the earlier, did not occur in the later play, but had substituted
for it the line rrjs av/ufpopas ravrris <re navfftiv r/s e^ets.
Karion, out of courtesy, calls the blindness of Ploutos 6<pQa\/j.ia }
a curable affliction of the eyes.
119. This line and the following hemistich are very corrupt. For
o?8'o>s we find etSws, and iwv in other readings ; for ewei we
find e/i'et 5 , eTTTj, and CTTTJ et. The reading of the MSS. is 6 Zevs
ILfV ovv ei8o>s TO. TOVTWV /Jiwp' e^u' ei Trvdoir' b.v eTTirptyeie, which
involves a contradiction. The simplest emendation of this is
perhaps to substitute o?S' us for ei'Sojs with Brunck and Holden.
This gives us as the meaning, " I am sure that if Zeus only
learnt the foolish (plans) of these men he would annihilate me."
The reading in the text should be translated, " I am sure that
Zeus will annihilate me, seeing that he is certain to learn the
foolish (plans) of these men."
120. TOVTO 8pa : sc. firirpifai <re.
121. "Inasmuch as he allows you to [stumble against things as you
walk about."
126. K&V : for Kal edv, " even if it were for a short time."
128. p. trv : the pronouns alone are repeated in Greek, whereas in
English we should say, "What! you show me to be more
powerful than Zeus ?"
130. avriKa: "for example." Cp. Aves, 378 and 1000 ; T/iesmoph.,
151. Qe&v is governed by apx^h not by rtVo.
134. dvTiicpvs : "openly," without any disguise. Cp. fax, 1320;
and Juvenal, X., 23 :
" Prima fere vota et cunctis notissima templis,
Divitiae ut crescant, ut opes."
NOTES. 67
Observe the distinction between &vriKpvs, openly, and avrlitpv,
over against, straight on.
136. OTI^I rt STJ ; "how so, pray?" Cp. Nubcs, 755.
138. HJ/CUO-TOV : this occurs again in line 1115, and is put for the
sacrifice of the poor, as &ous for that of the rich. It is said by
the Scholiast to mean &Aeupoj/ e'Acuo> SeSeu^eVoj/, a cake of
ground wheat mixed with oil. Translate " wheat cake."
142. r\v XVTTTJ TI : " if he (Zeus) annoys (you) in any way."
143. This and the following line appear to be a parody of Pindar,
Ol. XIV. 5, ffvv yap vfjuv ra rfp-rrva nal ra y\vna yiyvsrai irdvra
Pporo'is, et ffotybs, d Ka\bs, ei TLS ay\abs at/rip. Cp. Hor., Sat. II.,

is more usually found with the genitive case.
147. dp-yvpiSiov : this diminutive is here used to express contempt.
" For a paltry little trifle of money."
148. 8id TO fjff| irXovmv icrws : ''through not being as rich as others; "
lit., "through not being rich equally (with- others}." Some
editors, as Dobree and Holden, give this hemistich to Ploutos,
but this seems weak and without point, whereas it is quite
natural that Karion should explain the reason of his having
fallen into slavery. If the words are assigned to Ploutos, tcruis
may be translated as above, or by " perhaps."
160. Some editors give the whole of the list of trades that follows to
Chremulos. Into this list clothes -lifting (AwTroSure?) and
burglary (roix^P^X 6 ') are introduced by way of comic surprise.
166. Kva<f>evei : others read yvatyevei. The Scholiast says that K.V- was
the older Attic form. By common usage the e of Se should be
short before KV-, whereas the text here requires it long to form
the second syllable of an iambus ; but the reading in the text
is not by any means the only instance of a deviation from the
strict rule.
169. "These things were long unnoticed by me." ravrl, Attic for
ToDrct. OUTOS was often strengthened in Attic, except in the
tragedians, by the addition of the demonstrative - 1, just as -ce
was added in Latin hicce, istic, &c., and -ci in French celui-ci.
170. Sid TOVTOV KOJJWX : "gives himself airs on account of this man
(Ploutos)." The Great King (of Persia), on account of his
immense wealth, can give himself airs. The King of Persia at
the time of the first exhibition of this play was Darius II.,
surnamed Nothos. He was succeeded, in 405 B.C., by Arta-
xerxes II., surnamed Mnemon, who was the reigning monarch.
in 388 B.C., the date of the second exhibition of this play.
68 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
171. KK\T]oria : three obols (about 4|cL). apiece were given to
those citizens who attended the public Assembly. This was-
called the piaShs eKKXriffiaanitos, and its institution is some-
times attributed to Perikles. Cp. lines 329-330, infra, and
JScclesiazousai, 302-310, where reference is made to the
increase, from one to three obols, in the pay given to those who
went to the Assembly.
172. Tpurjpeis : the reference is to the Tpiypapxia, or fitting out of
triremes for the public service. Wealthy citizens, either
singly or jointly with ftthers, according to circumstances, Jiad .
_tp fit-out triremes for the public service, and were at the same
time responsible for the command. This burden was the
weightiest of the extraordinary \cirovpyiai at Athens.
173. TO kv KopivOw JjeviKov : "the (Athenian) mercenaries at Corinth."
An Athenian force was at this time stationed at Corinth to
co-operate with the Thebans, Argives, and Corinthians against
the Spartans. The allies are spoken of in Pausanias as the
Corinthian League, because Corinth was the seat of war. The
officers in command of the Athenian contingent were Kallias,
Chabrias, Iphikrates, and Polustratos (vid. Demosth., Philip.
I., 23). Diodoros gives the date of this alliance as 395 B.C._.
thirteen years after this play was exhibited for the first time,
and it_lasted till what is known as the Peace of Antalkidas was
formed between Artaxerxes IT. (Mnemon) and the Greek
States in 3j7 B.C.. T the year after the second exhibition of the
Ploiitos at Athens.
174. Pamphilos was an Athenian Demagogue who had ^embezzled
""funds belonging to the State, and he is here satirised while
awaiting his trial. The Scholiast says that Aristoxenos was
the real name of lielonopotis (" The Needle- Seller "), who was
a dependent of PampTiiTqs, and who would therefore be a loser
by his patron's misfortune, even if he was not guilty of the
same misconduct as his master.
177. Philepsios is said by the Scholiast to have been an expert in
telling marvellous stories, by means of which gift he obtained
his livelihood. But in Demosth. Contra Timocrat. mention is
made of a Philepsios as having been imprisoned with Agurrhios
for peculation, and this line may refer to him.
178. $v\Lp.a.\Ca. : Ritter takes this to refer to a treaty formed between
the Athenians and the Egyptians in the first year (389 B.C.) of
the "war between the Egyptians and Persians. According to
the Scholiast, Athenian aid was given in return for a_large
supply of grain. Two other explanations are given. One
says that this refers to an expedition in the reign of Amasis,
king of Egypt, whereas others understand it of the expedition
of Chabrias. Neither of these stands the test of chronology,
NOTES. 69
as the former was ancient history which would have no point
for a witty Athenian audience, and the latter took place long
after the second exhibition of the Ploutos.
179. i>iXv8ov : Philonides was an ugly man of great wealth. He
is mentioned again in line 303.
180. 6 TijxoOe'ov irvp-yos : " Timotheos' princely pile." irvpyos here
means a lordly mansion built at great cost. Cp. Hor. Od. I.,
iv., 13, Eegumque turres. The Scholiast says that this refers to
Timotheos, the Athenian commander, son of Konon, and that
he was very wealthy and built a .palatial residence, for which
he was satirised by the comic poets. Karion was going to
say, " Was it not built through you?" when Chremulos in-
terrupts him by a wish that it may fall on him some day.
182. (Jtovwraros : see note on line 83, avToraros.
185. iriKc,9eT]Tai : the Scholiast supposes the metaphor to be from
scales. It seems better to regard it as drawn from a bird
perching on the helmet of a soldier in war, as in the Roman
legend of Valerius Corvus. eiriKaOvia-Bai is used in this sense
in The Knights, 1093. Cp. also Aristot. H. A., 9, 10, 1, for
KaOi&crdai, used of birds alighting.
189. The following lines look like a parody of Homer, II. V., 636-7.
The gross material pleasures enumerated by the slave stand in
ludicrous contrast with the cultivated pleasures mentioned by
his master.
200. T-^V Svvajjuv i^v : for TT)S SiW^ews $}p, the genitive being attracted
into the case of the relative. Cp. Soph. Elec. 1364, and Verg.

213. Another line of tragic sound. The Scholiast on this line say 8
that close to the tripod of Apollo's priestess in the temple at
Delphi stood a bay-tree, which the priestess shook as she
revealed the will of the god. Cp. olov 6 TairoXKwvos e<reiVciTo
SaQvtvos fy>7n7, Callim. H. in Apoll., 7 ; " Tremere omnia visa
repente Liminaque laur usque dei" &c., Verg. Aen. V., 90 ;
" Pythia, quae tripodi e Phoebi lauroque profatur," Lucr.
I., 739.
215. PI. " Take care." Chr. " Don't be in the least alarmed, my
good friend."
216. K&V Sir] : the contraction of 817 for SET? is doubtful. To meet this
difficulty, Meineke and Holden read xpp-
227. " Even now I go." rovroSl is for TOUT} 5e. KpedSiov refers to
the remnants of meat carried from Delphi by the slave, after
the ceremony.
70 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
233. KaSiKws : this sounds strangely in the mouth of the virtuous-
Chrcmulos, and is perhaps to be explained by reference to lines
104 110, so that the change in the morality of Chremulos
proves the truth of Ploutos' statement. Cp. Hor. Ep. I., 64,
" Rem facias, rem
Si possis recte, si non, quocunque modo rem."
235. TTO.VV modifies ^x^/" at - Ploutos has very strong objections to
going into a strange house, because he is either hidden away
under the ground, or forced to supply his host with funds for
debauchery and the gaming-table, and is then ruthlessly
thrust out of doors.
236. avTOv : sc. TOV
238. Observe the repetition of KO.TO.. " They bury me deep down
under the ground."
241. " He denies even his having ever seen me." Cp. Herod. III.,
67.
244. ev aKapet xpwf : another reading has xpdvov. d^apel is the dat.
neuter of the adj. aKaprjs (a priv., and /ceipw, I cut). The word
was originally and properly applied to hair too short to be cut ;
hence the idea of short.
245. " (Yes), for you never yet met with a reasonable man."
249. <rt : object of t'ScTt'. " As I wish my wife and only son to see
you."
51. ire0o|iai : "I believe you" refers specially to ^era <re.
253 332. Karion left the stage at his master's bidding (line 229), to-
summon the farmers who now appear. On learning that
Ploutos is in the house of Chremulos, the farmers, led by
Karion, perform a comic dance accompanied with rude jests.
Chremulos greets them warmly on their arrival.
iroXXo. 8rj : " very often." T< SCOTTO'T?; ra.vr'bv 66/j.ov, " the same
poor fare as my master." ravr6v, more usually written ravr6v r
is an Attic contraction for TO avrb or rb avr6v. QV/ULOV, derived.
from Ova, probably because it was first used to burn in sacrifice
on the altar, was a mixture of thyme with honey and vinegar,
much in use as food among the poor of Attica.
254. 8T]p.oTai : at Athens this meant " men of the same demo."
When the ten local tribes of Kleisthenes took the place of the
four older tribes, each of the ten tribes was subdivided into
ten STJ/XOI or country parishes, admission into some one of
which was necessary for the full status of an Attic citizen.
255. ws 6 Kcupbs, K.T.X.. : < as it is not the time to tarry, but is at the

metaphor is from the edge of a razor. For the full expression,
Cp. Herod. VI., 11, ert |vpo? yap d/c,u?7S e^erou rj/Mf rot
NOTES. 71
268. xpvo-bv lirwv : lines 262 and 263 imply that the farmers were
sent for "by " the master" for some good object, and Karion's
description of the decrepit old man, " sans hair, sans teeth,"
leads them to think that it is some wealthy old man who is
going to make them all rich. So they regard his message as
" gold of words," i.e., words full of golden promise. Karion
holds them somewhat longer an suspense with his banter, till
he reveals his secret in line 284.
273. " No doubt ye take me to be a man naturally like this (i.e., a
deceiver) in all respects, and believe that I never have any-
thing good to utter."
277. 4v TTJ <rop<3, K.T.X. : "your letter having obtained (for you) by lot
the post of dikast in (the court of) the coffin," i.e., you ought
to be dead and in your coffin. The judicial power, civil as
well as criminal, at Athens was transferred by Perikles to
numerous dikasts (SiKcurrai, from 8t/caeu/, to judge) or panels
of jurors selected from the citizens, 6,000 of whom were
annually drawn by lot, sworn, and then distributed into ten
panels of 500 each, the remainder forming a supplement in
case of vacancies. The magistrate, instead of deciding causes
or inflicting punishment by his own authority, was now con-
strained to impanel a jury, i.e., to submit each particular case
which might call for a penalty greater than the small fine which
he himself could inflict, to the judgment of one or other
among these popular dikasteries. "Which of the ten he should
take was determined by lot, so that 110 one knew beforehand
what dikastery would try any particular case, and thus the
dikasts could not be tampered with. Each of the ten dikasteries
was represented by the letters of the alphabet up to and in-
cluding K ; and on coming to the courts each dikast drew by
lot the letter (ypd/j.fj.a) marking the court in which he was to
serve. The letter he drew was marked on a short staff of a
particular colour. He next proceeded to that dikastery which
was marked with the colour and letter corresponding to those
on his staff. On entering the court he received a ticket or
counter (%vjj.$o\ov) from an official inside ; and on presenting
this ticket when his day's business was over, he received three
obols from the treasurers, who were called Kolakretae
(KwAaKpcTot) . This must not be confounded with the three
obols given to the Ekklesiasts (or citizens who attended the
public Assembly), referred to in line 171. Bockh states that
"nearly one-third of the citizens sat as judges every day."
Although this is an exaggeration, it is sufficiently near the
truth to account for the large use of legal metaphors in the
Attic poets. The joke here is that the old man is represented
as having drawn the letter 2 (whereas K is the highest letter),
and would therefore have to go to the court beginning with
72 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
that letter, the court being comically called ^ 2opJs, the
Coffin ; and Charon, the ferryman of the Styx, is therefore
represented as the legal official who is ready to offer him the
counter (^v^o\ov).
281. This verse is the same as 260. It is somewhat out of place
here, as is shown by the use of the singular /JLC between the
two plurals f)fjuv and o'l; and it was probably repeated by some
meddlesome scribe.
283. iroXXwv, K.T.X. : " passing by the roots of many thyme-plants "
(see note on line 253), without stopping to pluck them for a
meal.
. MiSas : ace. plural, although the dative might be expected
after irAova-iois in the preceding line, where, however, Porson
and Dobree read -nXovaiovs.
" Nay, by the gods, ye may all become perfect Midases, an
ye get the ass's ears." Midas, king of Phrygia, was called
upon to decide in a musical contest between Apollo playing on
the lyre and Pan on the pipe. His decision was in favour of
Pan, whereupon Apollo changed his ears into those of an ass.
Cp. Persius I., 121, where the original reading was, "Auriculas
asini Mida rex habet."
9 321. This portion of the Parodos is taken up with rude jests
((TKw^/jLaTa), in order to allow the chief characters time for rest.
These 0x6^0x0. are different from the choral odes. See note
on line 317.
0pTTav\b : a sound in imitation of the sound of the cithara,
something like "tra-la-la" in English. Karion begins to
imitate the rude Cyclops dance (rbi> KwcAcoTra), and tells the
farmers to follow him (the Cyclops) as his flock. Cp. Hor.
Sat. I., 5, 63, " Pastorem saltaret uti Cyclopa rogabat";
and Hor. Epist. II., 2, 125.
' ' Ludentis speciem dabit et torquebitur ut qui
Nunc Satyrum, nunc agrestem Cyclopa, movetur."
291. wSi irapevo-aXevittv : here he cuts a caper to show them the kind
of dance he means.
291. dXX' tta TtKea, K.r.X. : "but come, children, ofttimes shouting
and bleating the calls of sheep and noisome goats, follow me."
He calls the old farmers his children, because he is playing the
part of Poluphemos, and he likens them to his flock.
296. Order ^ueTs /SArjxWyuevoi, KaraXaftovres ffe, rbv KwAciJTra, Xafiovrts
302. KipK-qv : here Karion assumes the role of Kirke. The Cyclops
who has just been mentioned was blinded, when asleep, by
Ulysses ; and this story reminds Karion of what occurred to
the followers of Ulysses when they visited Kirke. See Odyssey
X., 203-243.
NOTES. 73
303. <i>iXaw8<n) : this character has been already mentioned in line
179. His name is here put irapa TrpoaSoKiav for Ulysses, and
Corinth for Aiaia, Kirke's isle. The name of this Corinthian
Kirke is given in line 179, supra.
312. TOV Aapriov jujAovfjievoi Kp6|jicop,v : " we, imitating (Ulysses) the
son of Laertes, will suspend you." For the form Aapriov, cp.
Soph. Ajax, 1, 'Ael p.4v, & TTCU Aapriov, 8e5op/ca ere.
Adprios for Aae'/rrTjs is very rarely found. Ulysses himself
should be Lartios, not, as here, the son of Lartios ; Lartios
being properly a possessive adj. formed from Laertes. Cp.
Laertia rcqna, " the realms of Laertes" Verg. Aen. III., 272 ;
Laertius heros, i.e. Ulysses, Ovid, Meta. XIII., 124.
The word /cpe^Wyuej/ probably has reference to the punishment
of Melanthios by Ulysses. Melanthios tried to steal into the
storehouse for arms, but on being caught he was bound hand
and foot, " and they made fast to his body a twisted rope, and
dragged him up the lofty pillar till he came near the roof
beams," where they left him swinging. Horn. Od. XXII.,
170-200.
314. 'Apio-rvXXos : cbs is understood, "but you, like another Aris-
tullos, with gaping mouth, will say." This person is referred
to elsewhere in Aristophanes as a man of very depraved habits.
Bergk thinks that Aristophanes is here ridiculing Plato, whose
real name was Aristoklcs, Plato being only a nickname given
him from his broad (irAarvs) shoulders.
317. lir' &XX' clSos Tpeireo-0' : "turn your attention to another strain."
Karion probably means the choral ode and dance, usually per-
formed in the interludes to the accompaniment of the flute.
The word XOPOT, at the end of line 321, is to mark that the
aAA.' e?8os, the words of which are wanting, should here be
performed.
321. TW KOTTW vveivai : " grapple with the work."
322 391. Chremulos welcomes the Chorus, who promise to help him.
Blepsidemos, a sycophant, hears there is something in the
wind, and he posts to the house of Chremulos to try and find
out all about it. He finally learns that Ploutos is there.
322. "To bid you welcome, my fellow-demesmen, is an old and
stale (form of greeting)." For 5r)fj.6rai, see note on line 254,

Then the meaning becomes, " but it tells against him (as) having
done something wrong" (i.e., that he has done something-
wrong) ; and the dative depends on. e'-Tu in eirfSrjA.oi'. Meineke's

382. TIV' refers to Chremulos. It is elsewhere used, as here, to
denote, as it were in vision, somebody who is present on the
spot. Cp. Itanae, 554; Ac/tarn., 1158. Blepsidemos implies
that he will inform against Chremulos, who in consequence
will be put on his trial, and to excite the pity of the judges will
bring his wife and children with him into court.

384. KOV SIOLO-OVT', K.T.\. : "and who will not differ in any respect
whatever from the Herakleidai of Pamphilos." On the death
of Herakles, his children, the Herakleidai, were persecuted by
Eurustheus, prince of Tiruns, and, driven out of the Pelo-
ponnesos, they took refuge in Attica, where shelter was given
them in spite of the threats of Eurustheus. Wherever they
went for refuge they found that envoys from their persecutor
had preceded them with offers of friendship to such states as
drove them away, and threats of war against any state that
received them, until they finally reached Athens. Thither
they were pursued by the tyrant, whom they now defeated and
slew. Then they returned to their birthright in the Pelo-
ponnesos, but a pestilence soon broke out, in which they
recognised a divine intervention, and accordingly they returned
into exile in Attica. Ere long they tried to return, but were
driven back, and remained for a hundred years in exile, till,
aided by the Dorians, they conquered the Peloponnesos. Two
kings of their race thenceforward continued to rule simul-
taneously at Sparta, down to the conquest of Greece by the
Romans. Athenian poets and orators boasted that their
ancestors had befriended the exiled Herakleidai. Athenian
painters and sculptors may have celebrated the story in their
works of art.
"Who Pamphilos was is not certain. One Scholiast says he
was a painter. In that case he painted a picture of the
Herakleidai, in the Stoa Poikile or elsewhere, as suppliants
before the Athenian people. Bergk and Dindorf take this
view. Another Scholiast says he was a poet ; in that case a
drama called Herakleidai is referred to, and this is actually the
name of an extant drama of Euripides.
388. curapTi : "from now, henceforth," so Liddell and Scott. The
word also means "exactly," and "just the opposite"; but
henceforth is most suitable here.

395. 'Eo-rias : Chremulos said that Ploutos was in his house ; there-
fore Blepsidemos asks him in the name of Hestia, the guardian
goddess of hearth and home, if he is speaking the truth.
396. 6a\<XTTiov : " Do you mean the sea-god r 1 " " Yes, and if there

out the obscurity of QaXdrTiov, and the fact that in ^ibes, 83,
Strepsiades is unwilling that his son should swear j/rj rbis
no<rei5&> Touroft rbi> 'liriTiov. The reason he suggests is that if
Chremfalos used the epithet QaXa-rTiov, it might be concluded
76 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
that this Ploutos, or wealth, had come by sea. But, as Dindorf
says, there is really no difficulty, for the whole affair seems so
incredible to Blepsidemos that he does not believe the other's
oath by Poseidon, but goes on to ask whether he really means
the sea-god by whom he is accustomed to swear.

After 'Ao-K\7)Triov understand vewv, the ace. being governed by
els, to denote the motion to the temple. Cp. Vcsp., 122, where
the same expression occurs. This method of cure, by which
the sick spent the night in a temple hoping to be healed while
asleep, was called e^KoiV^tns.
413. dvve irpaTTwv 'tv ye TI : " be quick and do something or other."
415610. Poverty enters in a state of alarm lest Ploutos, being re-
stored to sight, should drive her away altogether. In a long

tragedians, especially Euripides. As Green points out, this
line is of tragic sound, and perhaps this is one reason why
Blepsidemos suggests, in line 423, that the intruder is a Fury
from a tragedy. But another reason is given by Blepsidemos
himself in line 424.

423. 'Epivvs K rpa-ywSias : this contains a special reference to the
Eumenides of Aischulos, where a chorus of fifty Furies is in-
troduced. So terrible was their aspect that disastrous results
followed to the women and children in the audience, according
to the biographer of Aischulos; and Julius Pollux, II. 15,
relates that in consequence of this a law was passed reducing
the number of the tragic chorus. See Bergk, ad loc.
425. "But (no), for she has no torches." "Then she shall suffer
for it." The Furies were always represented with torches.
Seneca, Med. 16, speaks of the Furies as " Atram cruentis
manibus amplexae facem."

431. pdpaOpov : this was the name given at Athens to a yawning cleft
beyond the Akropolis, in the deme of Keiriadai, which some
say belonged to the tribe Oineis, others to the tribe Hippotho-
bntis. Criminals were thrown into it, and we learn from a
passage (VII., 133) in Herodotus, who makes the earliest
historical mention of it, that it was into this pit the envoys
from Darius were thrown when they came to demand earth and
water. It was also called opvypa, and hence the terms 6 eVt r<f
6pvy/j.ari or 6 Trpbs T< opvy^ari for the executioner who hurled
down the criminals. The word is no doubt formed from the
root BOR of fiippaxTKu, Lat. vorare, Eng. devour. It cor-
responds to the Spartan Kcuddas. Cp. also line 1109, infra, and
Equites, 1362, &c. Translate" Then isn't the pit left for
you ? But you should tell at once who you are."
435. TJ Ka-mjXls, K.T.\. : " the neighbouring chap-woman, who always
cheats me so grossly in my pints." KOTrcjAis is connected
etymologically with chap in chap-woman, also with German
kaufen (= to buy), Lat. caupo, copa ; Eng. cheap, chipping,
chaffer. TJK = f] e/c. The Attic KorvX-r) was a liquid measure of
six Kvadoi or a half |eVr7js, nearly half a pint, but here it may
be freely translated by pint. The woman sold wine, and
always gave short measure to Blepsidemos.
439. ofrros : "ho, you there ! "
445. irapd iroXv : " by far." This phrase is rare in comedy.
447. airo\ur6vT : observe the dual participle and the plural verb,

serted in the midst of duals. TTOI is out of place, but neverthe-
less it should be taken as modifying (/>euoiVe0a.
451. Ive'xvpov Ti0t]<riv : " puts in pawn." It was forbidden by law
at Athens to pawn arms, and the poor often had no choice left

78 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
453. Tpoirwv : there is a play on the words rpoTtcuov and TpoTrav, both
of which are derived from a common verb TpeVw, to turn
" Will set up a record to commemorate the reverse he inflicted
on this versatile person;" lit., "Will set up a trophy over
her ways," i.e., " will defeat the plans of Poverty." Some-
times the aorist optative with &v has about the same force as
the future indicative, as here, so that (TTTJO-CUT' &v = (TTTjcrerai.
This is due to Greek politeness, which often expressed as mere
probabilities actions which were regarded as quite certain to
occur. A Tpo-rrcuov was a monument set up to commemorate
the turning (rpo-n-f]) or defeat of an enemy, and consisted of
spears, shields, helmets, &c., taken from the enemy in war,
and fixed upon posts or trees on the battlefield. The party
that allowed a trophy to be set up thereby acknowledged its
own defeat, and after that the trophy was looked upon as
inviolable, being under the protection of Zeus Tropaios.
462. #TI : observe that rt becomes tin when the question is repeated
by the person of whom it is asked, before he answers it. Cp.
Itanae, 198, OVTOS, T'I jroie'is ; Dion., STL TTOIU> ; The subjunctive
mood is the Latin equivalent, e.g., " Quid fecisti ?" " Quid
fecerim ? " = " What have you done ?" " What have I done,
do you ask '; ' '
467. irepl TOVTOV . . . O.VTOV : "on this very subject." "Why now,
on this very subject, I am willing in the first place to offer an
explanation ; and if I make it clear that I alone am the cause
of all good things to you, (well and good)." The ellipse of
KoAws eo-rcu, or some such words, is often found when et pet/,

5e, in the protasis of a second.

474. diiravO' : "in every respect."
476. " cudgels and pillories, won't ye help (us to punish her) ?"
478. lov : a shout of indignation, "Oh!" Cp. Nubes, 543.
480. "What penalty, then, am I to fix for you in the suit, if you are
vanquished?" In an Athenian law-court, the penalty was
either fixed by the judge, or only declared by him, according
to some estimate made before the cause came into court. It is
this latter kind of trial, the aywv ari/jLr]Tos, that is referred to
here. The plaintiff fixed the penalty from his own standpoint ;
the defendant generally fixed it at a much lower figure ; and
then the judge finally settled it. Cp. the comic trial of the
two dogs in the Vespes. For the full form of procedure see
SMITH'S Dictionary of Antiquities, article Timema.
483. " Think you, then, a score of deaths about enough?" "Yes,

485. OUK, K.T.X. : " Let both of you make haste, and do this (i.e., die

urge against (it) '? " The idiomatic expression OVK av fyddvoiTov
TOVTO TrpaTToi/T' (= "you cannot he too quick in doing this,"
" make haste and do this ") usually expresses a strong exhor-
tation or an urgent, impatient command.

497. "And, then, he will make all men good, and rich of course, and
full of respect for things divine." The contention is that the
wicked, when they see that Ploutos neglects them and will go
to the good alone, are sure to give up their wicked ways, and
follow piety when it pays to do so ; and in this way Ploutos
will make all men pious.

515. This line, says the Scholiast, savours of the Middle Comedy.
What he means is that 'the poets of the Middle and New
Comedy used high-flown tragic language, such as is found in
this line, for the sake of ornament, and not to raise a laugh,
which would be the only effect in the days of the Old Comedy.
This is one of the lines that was not in the earlier Ploutos.
520. CHK. " Some merchant bent on gain will come from Thessaly,
from the treacherous slave-dealers." Another reading is irapa
irXfiaruv (instead of Trap 1 a.iri<rruv}, " from the numerous (slave-
dealers)." di/5pa7ro8oj/, a slave, from which comes a^SpairoSiffr^s,
a .slave -dealer, has for its epic dative pi. cb/SpaTro'Seo-o-i (II. VII.,
475), which appears to confirm the derivation of the word from
avbpo-, stem of av>ip, and TTOVS ; because, as the Scholiast ex-
plains, "the slave is subject to the master as the foot to the
whole bod."
526. es Ke^aX^v <roi : translate: " On your own head be it." This is
a formula for averting evil, and appears to be borrowed from
the Egyptian ceremony of cutting off the head of the ox to be
sacrificed, imprecating evils on the head, and then selling it to
aliens, or flinging it into the Nile. The formula in that case
was, " eif TI /uLf\\oi ^ a(piai Tolffi Qvovffi f) Aiyvirrca rrj (Twairdarrj

do without all these things?" The common reading is airo-
povvras ; Meineke has airopovvTi.
535. With the reading in the text, TrAV must be taken adverbially,
and KoXoffvprbv as the ace. after TropiVcu. Then (pcpSw, TtaiSapiuv,
and 7pai'5iW depend on KoXoavprov. "Except a crowd of blisters
on coming from the bath, of starveling ragamuffins, and of
old crones." But KoXocrvprov seems a better reading " except
blisters, and a noisy rabble of starveling ragamuffins and old
crones." The Scholiast says the blisters would be caused by
the excessive heat in the baths, or the reaction of the cold when
they left them.

picture, no doubt, is drawn faithfully from life by the artist.

The collocation is very common. Perhaps, however, the
meaning is " this as well as the other broken."
548. xnreKpovcrco : "you have harped upon." efyOtyfa, aveKpoixrw,
says the Scholiast, adding that the metaphor is taken from a
harp or other musical instrument which is said Kpoveo-Qai.
Kuster thinks the word has here the same meaning as in the
active voice d-charn., 1. 38, " ySoai/, inroKpoveiv, \oi5ope7i/ TOVS
fi-firopas," i.e., to attack. Liddell and Scott also take this to be
the meaning here. Blaydes compares Shakespeare's Macbeth,
IV., i., 74, " Thou hast harped my fear aright," and translates
it, " You have touched upon." Poverty complains that the
whole of Chremulos' assault is upon Beggary, and has nothing
whatever to do with herself, Poverty.
550. vjjteis 7' : "oh yes, of course, ye who think that unlike things
are like, and that there is no difference whatever between
Dionusios (the Sicilian tyrant) and Thrasuboulos (who expelled.
the thirty tyrants from Athens), may well imagine that

Ploutos is the later play, for the first play was exhibited in
408 B.C., and it was not till ^05 B.C. that Dionusios the elder
was appointed sole general aT^Syracuse wltn. full powers, and

says, " Comicus noster, quoniam pauperes paucia vitae com-

$(ov /n.aKa.piTr]v, quod de mortuis dici solet." Here it has the

life of his you have recounted, if with all his sparing and
toiling he shall not even leave the wherewithal to be buried."

men than Ploutos (whom I have produced)." The intended
meaning is, "than Ploutos produces." In this sense $} U\ovros
would be the more usual form.
559. i8&xv : "figure." irapd T : "with him." Poverty contrasts
the wiry, wasp-like character (for which see Vespae, 11. 1070
1090) of her own followers with the gouty, pot-bellied followers
of Ploutos, who have grown fat by riotous living (00-6X70)5).
562. dirb TOV Xijiov : "by starving them."
563. dvaSiSdfjw : "I will teach you (contrary to the received
opinion)."
566. All the MSS. contain this line, yet it is bracketed by Bergk
on account of its irregular metre and obscure sense. The
sense required is, " Stealing is not contrary to decorum, pro-
vided the thief is not caught," which would not be inappropriate
in the mouth of Blepsidcmos, who is himself a thorough rogue ;
and this was, moreover, in conformity with the Spartan
custom, which allowed the young Spartans to steal if they
were only adroit enough to escape detection, but punished
them if caught. Thoukudides says of the early Greeks (Book I.,
1 5), " tfpira&i', Kal rb irXftarois rov fiiov evrevOfv CTTOIOVVTO, OVK

As the line stands it must be translated " Yea, by Zeus, if
he must escape detection, how can it be other than orderly ?"

as " a piece of bread, hollowed out as a spoon, for supping soup
or gravy."
Blaydes understands irA^ffra as saepissime, and takes the
meaning to be " ye aged men who very oft at Theseus' feast
have had a poor banquet on very little bread." The idea is,
that heretofore their general fare has been very bad, and not
much to boast of even at the Theseia ; but now they have come
in for good luck. Bergk thinks they celebrated the festival at
their own expense, and therefore, 'on account of their poverty,
had a very spare meal ; but it is possible that some public dis-
tribution of food to the poor is alluded to.

stood by the woman. " Not, I pray, on my head," she exclaims.
"What ! not the blessings that have fallen to our lot ?
Oh, it is the troubles that I don't wish on my head,"
as she understood Trpdy/j.ara in line 649 to mean troubles, a
meaning often conveyed by the word.
655. el' rtv' &\Xov: for e? ns &AAos. It is attracted by its proximity
into the case of (j.aKapioi', which agrees with &v8pa.
657. \ov|JLv : The Scholiast says this is for e'Aoo^ej/ from x6u>, the
original form of Aouco ; so Aoi^uevos for \o6/j.vos, in next line.
The uncontracted forms eAouo^uei/, \ov6fj.r)v, are rejected as not
truly Attic by Phryn., 1. 188, though copyists have often in-
serted them in the older authors. The root is XoF as appears in
\ov(ti (= Aof-co), Ao-erpoj/ (= \6F-erpov], Xovrpov, Lat. lav-o,
lau-tus. This root is lengthened into AU-, from which comes
Xv-fj.a, Xv-dpov, Lat. al-luo, col-hw-ies, lu-strum.

657. euSaifxwv : This is sarcastic. The woman insinuates that Ploutos
was lucky indeed if a cold sea -bath did him any good.
659. TJJWV : ibamus.
660. " And when on the altar, the cakes and offerings were dedicated
by the flame of murky Hephaistos." The common MS. reading
is TrpoQvpaTa (= "the preparatory offering") for fluA^ara.
661. [w'Xavos : This is Bergk's emendation for ire\avos. ireAaj/os means
" a clotted mixture," and if we retained the word, it would be
in apposition to, and explanatory of, iroirava KO.\ 9v\-fi/j.aTa (or,
TrpoQiifjLa.ro) ; but although ire\avos is often found as a sacrificial
term, it could not fairly be taken to explain the two former
words ; and to explain the word, by asyndeton, as being another
nominative to Ka0ci'(rio>0rj, would be harsh. Bergk's emendation.
is very plausible, and is approved of by Meineke. This descrip-
tion of the sacrifice is in imitation of tragic diction, if it is not
actually borrowed from some lost tragedy.
663. "And each of us made up from little odds and ends a bed for
himself." " e/c jJUKp&v Kal TroAAcD;/ T^J/ <m/3a5a TjuTpeTTt^b/xej/."
Scholiast. TrapaicaTTva is strictly " to sew on beside," or " to
patch up."
665. NeoicXettnis: mentioned also in Ekktts. 11. 254 and 398, as
NeoKAei'Srjs 6 yhd/jLui', "the blear-eyed." He was an orator,and a
sycophant, and his character is preserved for us ma pro verb of
Suidas, NeoK\ei1>ov KAcTTtorTcpoy.
668. " But when the minister of the deity put out the lights and told
us to go to sleep."
673. fjir\T]TT : " arrested my attention."
675. }>' ^v: "to which pitcher of porridge I strangely desired to
creep." He had an eye on the porridge, which was brought
into the temple as an offering by the old woman ; and in lines
689-690 he passes himself off as one of the sacred serpents,
by hissing and biting the woman's hand when she thrusts it
out to protect her offering. The word e^epTruVat, strictly used
of serpents, looks forward to this.
677. 4>6ots : the Attic contraction for (f)66'ias, ace. pi. of <p06is, -tos,
" a cake."

689. T?|V x^P* vrrpT]pe : "Lifted up her hand over (the pitcher to
protect it)." rV X f ?P a was probably written as a gloss on the
margin, and so crept into the text. rV X e 'P* v<t>yp fl > the com-
mon reading, is retained by Dindorf , and can only mean ' ' she
tried to draw away her hand." But no mention has been made
of her hand being thrust out, whereas in 1. 691, infra, we find
T$IV x*?P a TaAtj/ avc<nra<T, which implies that it has been. To
balance the sentence, then, some change must be made in this
line to reconcile it with 1. 691, where there is no doubt about
the reading. The reading proposed by Hemsterhuys, approved
by Dobree and Meineke, and adopted by Holden, &pa(r' vtprjpei,
removes all difficulty. " Having raised (her hand), she was on
the point of drawing away (the pitcher)." &pacr' is a constructio
ad sensum, as if ypavs had been written instead' ( of ypafitoi'. x^ T P av
vtyypei, " was on the point of drawing away the pitcher," would
be preferable to the common reading. The Scholiast's inter-

690. irapefrxs : a species of serpent, so called from its puffed cheeks
, the cheek). Its bite was harmless, and it was sacred
to Asklepios, and kept in his temple. Cp. Lucan. IX., 721,
" Contentus iter cauda sulcare pareas." The word is variously
written irapovas, irapcbas, and nape'ias, and is supposed by Liddell
and Scott to be a reddish brown snake on the analogy of irapwas
'linros, a chestnut horse (/xeTa|i/ recppov Kal Trvppov, Photius).
694. &f>X(ov : " I greedily devoured." " ^Aat/, ' cum crepitu quodam

708. IKCIVOS refers to Asklepios.
712. The woman's suspicions are aroused, and she begins to think
from a phrase of Karion's that there is more imagination than
history in his narrative. AiQivov, from its position in line 710,
might qualify SoiSvica and KI$&TIOV, as well as dveiSiov. So she
wants to know whether not only the mortar and pestle, but the
wooden box (KI&&TIOV) was of stone. He admits the wooden box
is not. Then, she wants to know how he could possibly see, if,
as he said, he was wrapped up. The ready answer is that
there were holes in his cloak.

Scholiast says that T_enos, which is anjsland of f.bft fiyp.1a.dfta,.
was jioted for, the fierceness of its serpents and of itsjgarlic._
719. oiros : "the acid juice of the fig-tree. Cp. Lat. sap -or, sue- us,
A.S. seep (sap). From bit6s cornes oiriov, opium.
720. crx^vov : Scillam maritimam (i.e., squill), " natam," says
Pliny, " aceto exacuendo."

Akamantis'. Sphcttian vinegar was very sharp, and the

crvKocpdvTai. Every item in the prescription is very bitter and
painful, whether the garlic, " the acid fig-tree juice," "squill,"
or " Sphettian vinegar," and is an amusing cure for sore eyes,
the complaint of Neokleides. See note on line 665.
725. firop.vvii.tvov: eTr6fj.vv(r6ai, lit., " to swear after, or accordingly,"
as a legal term = viro/m.vva-Gcu, which is perhaps the verb that
should be read in this passage. vird/uusvaOai is "to interpose by
oath," but in Attic law it meant "to make oath (either per-
sonally or by proxy) that something serious prevents a person's
appearing in court at the proper time," and so, to apply for a
postponement of a trial, to bar proceedings by an affidavit, &c.
Translate " That I may stop you from going to the Assembly,
having (for once) a real excuse." Dindorf and Bergk have
the reading given in this text. But Dindorf proposes TCUS
KK\-naiais, which Holden accepts. The meaning would then
be, "that I may put an end to your obstructing public
business at the Assemblies by false pleas."
727. n\ovT(ovi : " rbv U\OVTOV UXovrcai/a e?7re irai&v" Schol.
Ploutos is here identified with Plouton (Pluto), the god of the
nether world, who as well as Ploutos was considered a god of
riches, on e/c rrjs yrjs avierai 6 TT\OVTOS. Others regard IlAouT&>//
as an endearing diminutive of U^OVTOS, as y\i>K(au of y\vKvs, &c.
729. Tjp.iTvf3iov : this, according to Pollux, 7, 71, is an Egyptian
word meaning "towel." It is often found wrongly spelt
^lUTu/^ioj/ in the MSS., doubtless from a desire of the copyists
to find some meaning in the name.
730. For IIcu/aKem, see note on line 639.

749. In this line the woman apostrophises Asklepios.
750. o^Xos virep4>vf|s #<ros : "a marvellously great crowd," lit., "a

joined to an adjective in this way, as Qavp.a.ffT^v offov, a^xo-vov
tiaov, &c. ; a/j.-fix aj/01/ %v v XP^ vot/ = an inconceivable length of

Cp. Vergil, Eel. 8, 31, sparge, marite, nuces. Ploutos, on re-
turning with his new acquisition (i.e., his sight) must be
greeted as if he were bringing- home a blushing bride or newly-
purchased slave. The Scholiast says that bq>Qa\ij.ois is -jrapa
irpo<rQK.iav for SovXois. /coytuVco is the aorist subjunctive, like

771. The choral ode which should precede the entry of Ploutos is
missing, and it is very probable that several verses are also
missing, because Ploutos would hardly begin with the words
Kal irpoffKvvia 76. With regard to the three opening lines, they
are in tragic style, but the Scholiast tells us nothing of their
origin, and they are not to be found in the extant tragedies.

Greeks believed that he came froinSais in Egypt with a colony,
and introduced Egyptian civilisation into their land ; but
modern criticism shows this_belief. to be unfounded.. The name-
Ke/cpoif/ is probably a redup. of the root Kapir-, seen in Kap-jr6s,

it is not seemly in a dramatist to fling figs and fruit to the-
audience, and then to force laughter at these things."
5i8d<TKa\os refers to Aristophanes himself, and the force of the
epithet is that he himself, like other dramatic poets, tauyht or
superintended the rehearsals of his own choruses.
For -ytXav eirl, " to laugh at," cp. Aisch. Eum., 1. 560, 7 eAo 8e
SaifJ-wv eV avSpl Oepmy, and IL B., 1. 270, eV ai>T$ r)8v yeXaffaav.
But eVi TOVTOIS might also mean " at this cost," i.e., the cost of
vulgarity, or "in addition" ; 76 \av, in both these cases, being
used absolutely.
800. Ae|iviKos : supposed by the poet to be the name of one of the-
spectators, who, as soon as the wife of Chremulos came in with,
the nuts, had started to his feet to be ready when they were
scattered among the audience.
802 958. With the choral ode which should be sung between lines
801 and 802, but which is now lost, the catastrophe of the play
is reached. Henceforth all goes aright, for on Ploutos re-
gaining his sight all the good wax rich and evildoers are
reduced to poverty. Karion enters and gives a comic sketch
of the good things the god has given to his master. A Just
Man comes to see the god and thank him, and to offer up his-
wretched old clothes as a memorial. An Informer enters to
bemoan the loss of his trade, but he finds no sympathy, is
stripped, then clothed in the miserable old rags of the Just
Man, and finally sent to the baths.
803. p/rjSev efjeve-yKovr' oi'Ko0v : " without any cost," lit., "having
borne nothing out of the house (in exchange)."
804. The idea in this and the next line is that wealth was generally-
secured by dishonest means in Athens, yet wealth has now
come tumbling in tumultuously to the household of Chremulos
although they had done nothing evil to deserve it.
805. Trio-irTraiKv : this is explained by the Scholiast to mean
etVeTTTj&rjo-ej/, and he adds that it is a military term chiefly used
of an invasion. " Has riotously invaded (the household)."
806. This verse was rejected by Bentley, and certainly looks suspicious-
when compared with line 802.

816. o-TaTTjpo-i 8' : " And we servants play at ' odd or even ' with gold
staters." The Stater (= standard] was the chief gold coin in
Greece. It was also called Chrysus (xpvaovs) ; and Daric,
Aapeiitds or a-Tarrjp Aapti<6s, from the coinage of Darius
Hystaspes, just as Louis and Napoleon were names given by the
French to gold coins. The Athenian gold staters were a little
heavier than the darics, but were current at the same rate. In
weight they were equal to two, and in value to twenty, Solonic
silver drachmae. The Athenian stater and the Persian daric
were each worth about 1. Is.
apTidtop-ev : " ludere par impar," Hor. Sat. II., 3, 248, called
by the Greeks apTidfciv, &pna ^ ireptTTa, or vya ?) &vya, was a
game in which one had to guess whether the number of things
(coins, nuts, &c.) held in the hand was odd or even.
S20. With the triple sacrifice mentioned in this line cp. the Roman
suovetaurilia. Properly speaking, fiovQvrtLv should only be
used of the sacrifice of oxen, but here it is used freely for Queiv.
823. TrcuSdpiov : diminutive of irats, a slave. A young slave is carry-
ing the old tattered cloak of the Just Man.
In the following scene, from this line down to line 965, the
dialogue is carried on between the Just Man, Karion, and the
Sycophant. Chremulos is now engaged indoors with the
sacrifice, and remains off the stage till he enters again in line
965 with the words "^77 STJT'- eyca yep avrbs ^eA^Aufia." The
authority of the MSS. is in favour of this view, which is the
one accepted by Bergk, Blaydes, and Holden.
The theory that Chremulos should be substituted for Karion
throughout the scene is maintained by Hemsterhuys, Brunck,
and Dindorf. The Scholiast leaves it doubtful, observing only

the name of the gods, is the meaning of this old cloak? "
Observe that lines 840, 842, and 844 end with npbs rbv 6e6v.

" Suspendisse potenti

845. TO, [if.ya.Xa. : understand /ava-r^pia. The reference is to the great
festival and mysteries of the Eleusinia, celebrated in honour of
Demeter and Persephone at E}eusls7"a" town lying on the sea-
coast north -west of Athens and close to Megara. The. Great
Mysteries were celebrated for nine jdays .every year in the
"month of Boedromion, from the 15th to the 23rd, Loth at
Athens and Tjjlgjfl.si*!-
It was customary to dedicate the garments in which one had
been initiated at these mysteries ; and this is why Karion asks
the Just Man if these are his initiation garments. What he
means is, "You have now been initiated into the mysteries of
Ploutos. Is that why you wish to dedicate your cloak to him,
as they do at the Eleusinia ? ' '
849. xapievTO, : This is ironical.
850. SeiXcuos : The penult is short, and the word is written SetAaos in
the Kavenna MS.
853. The metaphor in this line is borrowed from wine which is so-
strong that it is able to bear a large admixture of water without
losing its goodness. So the Scholiast, Bergk, and Dindorf.
"Even if this be the right explanation of TroAu^opos, yet to
press the metaphor in a-vyittKpa.fj.ai would make the sufferer to
t)e 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
Sophokles and Aischulos meant /ce/cpao-flcu Sra, dtKrcp otherwise
than "to be plunged in/' And TroAt^pw is also explained
Ti-oAAo KO.KO. cpfpovTi. Of land it means "fruitful," "bearing
much good" : therefore why not of fortune "bearing much
evil? " Green. This is probably the correct interpretation of
(rvyKeKpapcu, although Bergk and others regard it as a continu-
ation of the metaphor. But 7roAu$Jpos undoubtedly has reference
to the mixture of wine and water. Cp. Equitcs, 1188, us rjSits,

Translate : "So much in need of tempering is the fortune
in which I have become hopelessly involved."
859. at SI'KCU : "The informer must have redress, if there is law in
Athens." The mention of Si/cat gives the Just Man a clue to
the character of the new-comer, whom, in the language of the
mint, he declares to be " of a bad stamp," and Karion, chiming
in, gives him little comfort by assuring him that " it is very
obliging in him (i.e., serves him quite right) to be ruined."

good, the only class that Ploutos was to enrich.

8777/iaTos depends on (pdp^aKov which is implied in Sa/cruAios,
because the ring was a Sa/cruAtos ^ap^ua/aTTjs.
Raper explains it thus : ' ' There is not in the list of the
virtues of this ring the words ' <ru/c. 8777.' Vendors of amulets
possibly gave the purchaser a list of the healing powers of
the amulet as follows TOVTO rb Trepia/j./j.a tVxvet /car' oQews
8-hy/m.aTos, and so forth."
One Scholiast says that 5-fiy/j.aros is the genitive after Sa/cruAtos,
and Holden believes ov yap earl to have been his reading, i.e.,
11 the ring is not the ring of an informer's bite." Others think
the line should be written, aAA' OVK ei/ecm " ^vKo^dvrov S-fiy-
/taros."
Dobree's explanation is " It is impossible (OVK eveo-Ti) to buy
an amulet against the bite of an informer," in which sense OVK
eveo-Ti is often found.
Holden takes the line as it stands to mean " There is no
informer's bite in his words," making S-fiyparos a partitive
genitive, and suggests eiriaty or laais for ej/e<m.
It seems most satisfactory to understand (pdp/j.a.Koi' with the
Scholiast.

to him, as he would need a very strong partner to cope with
them successfully. It is far more forcible to regard (rvKivov as

Bergk thinks there is a reference to the proverb o-u/c 11/77

989. jiurrjTfas : there is a double -entendre in this word. It sometimes
means lust, which Liddell and Scott wrongly give as its meaning

the Ravenna MS., which is the best and oldest MS. of Aristo-
phanes. The Scholiast read virdpiov Kal fid-nov, which he says
were kinds of plants ; and adds that she wishes to say the young
man spoke of her as of choice flowers. But Pdriov would then
be a diminutive of /Bdros, a prickly bramble, and vndpiov is
not found elsewhere. Then, again, these two words were ex-
plained to be diminutives of proper names, Nitaros and Batos,
effeminate men. Others explain fidnov as a diminutive of ftdros,
a kind of fish, perhaps the ray. All this is very unlikely. But,
if pdnov is the correct reading, it may possibly be explained as
Paris, "a bird that frequents bushes" (Lat. rubicola), from
frdros, a bramble-bush. Cp. Plautus, Asin. 3, 3, 103,
" Die igitur me anaticulam, columbulam, catellum,

However, this passage from Plautus seems to me to confirm
the brilliant emendation of Bentley, v^rrdpiov ~av KOI fy&TTiov
virKopi^To, " she used to call me endearingly her little duck

better reading, and is given to the woman, who, as soon as she
hears aa-!rdo/j.ai, a rather intimate form of greeting, interrupts
the speaker by a request addressed to the others present to
note, as a proof of her story, the familiar terms which existed
between herself and the young man. But his next words show

proposal, Chremulos banteringly takes it up and says, " Nay,
I too will make a guess," and commits himself to her having

only a single grinder." Thereupon she objects to being made

he. " Courage, don't fear ; for she won't offer violence," says
Chremulos. Then both enter the house to see Ploutos, and
Chremulos, being left alone on the stage, says, " O sovereign
Zeus, how vigorously the old woman sticks to the youth, as
if she were a limpet."

knocked. He gives a humorous list of people and things that
are to be brought out and mixed in a dish and flung into the
pit, because Zeus is angry at men's neglect of the gods, who
have received no presents since men became rich through the
agency of Ploutos. He bemoans his own losses, but finds
Karion very unsympathetic, and finally makes terms for
himself, and begins with very menial employment.

a aedider'ative form of the verb K\aica, "to weep."
Verbsin -creiw, and several in -ao> and -taw, have a desidera-

indicate bodily weakness or illness, as o^flaA/utaw, / suffer in

this idea of illness is involved in the present passage. " The
door suffers from an attack of whining (/cAautrm), and makes a
noise without cause (Qdeyyd/jLcvov &AAo>s)." This is also
Green's view, and seems preferable to " wants to weep, or to
get itself beaten," i.e., "shall suffer for it," as Meineke,
Holden, and Liddell and Scott interpret. In this latter sense
KAauo-erai is the word that was commonly used.

libations used to be poured over the tongues. Karion recog-
nises whom he is speaking to, and virtually says, ' ' Oh ! you are
the person to whom the tongues of victims are given ; you are
Hermes." For yiyistrcu, a common reading is reyui/erat, which
is ambiguous. It may either mean " The tongue of victims
is cut (and set apart) for the bearer of this news," or "The
tongue of one who bears such news as this is generally cut
out," i.e., the news is bad and you deserve to lose your tongue
for it.

their feet should become swollen by their continual running

/CATJ, a contr. of wcoAea, is the ham of a swine ; and <x<r/fc;Aiaeti/
is to dance on a wine-skin, as they did at the 'AtrKcoAm. The
'Ao-KcoAm took place on the second day of the Eural or Lesser
Dionusia (A/ofwna /car' aypovs, or /jUKpa), when the Athenians
used to dance with one foot on greased goat -skins full of
wine. Goats were sacrificed to Dionusos because of their
destructiveness to the vine. Their skins were used to hold
wine, and whoever could dance longest on the greased wine-
skin got the skin and its contents as his prize.
This dance was a source of great merriment, and is connected
with the rise of comedy at Athens. Cp. Verg. , Gfeor., II., 1. 380 :
" Atque inter pocula laeti
Mollibus in pratis unctos salnere per utres."
The joke in the text is next to impossible to render into
English. "Ah me, for the ham of the swine that I used to
devour." KAR. " You may dance on this wine here, out
under the open sky."
1131. o-n-XaYXv' : this refers to the entrails of Hermes himself as well
as to those of the victims, whereas in the previous line it
refers to those of the victims alone.
1132. "Ah me, for the cup mixed half and half! " This mixture is
stronger than was customary among the Greeks. The usual
proportion of the mixture was three measures of water to two
of wine.
104 ARISTOPHANES' PLUTUS.
1133. " Drink this up, and run away as fast as you can." Karion
treats Hermes throughout with good humour, and here offers
him a cup of wine.
1137. Kpe'as VCCIVIKOV : "a fine large piece of meat." Cp. Eurip.,
Hipp., 1204, (poftos vtavitcos, a great fear.
1138. K<J>opd : this is a fern. noun. "But there is no carrying out
(allowed)." The form encpopa which is read here by some
editors is neut. pi. of eKtyopos. The Scholiast says that this
formula was used in some sacrifices, and quotes Theopompus,
eurw Spaiu.ui' alriiaov a\\' OVK e'/c0opa. In the present passage
the word has no reference to burial, as in line 1008, though
even there the word may refer to the carrying away of
goods.
1140. " Whenever you purloined anything, I always caused you to
escape detection." " Oh yes, on condition that you yourself
should get a share of the spoil ; for a cake well baked would
fall to you." "Yes, and you would eat it." "Well, why
shouldn't I '? You got none of the blows, if I were caught
stealing."
1145. ^vX-qv : " Don't rake up old scores, even if you have captured
Phule." As the firftff oditirm of this play came out in 408 B.C.,
and Phule was not taken till 403 B.C.. this line clearly^ belongs
to the second Ploutos of 388 B.C.
Thrasuboulos was among the exiles who had to quit Athens
under the regime of the Thirty Tyrants. He fled to Thebes.
and with the aid of thp Thfiha/na spiflprl Phnl*, wVnVTi wa s a
fortress on the confines of Ajttica and Boiotia. Thence he
marched to Aligns, overthrew the Ten whoTTad succeejied to
the Thirty, and re-established the democracy in _4J13 B.C.
Thereupon an amnesty was proclaimed, of which XenophSn
(Hellen., II., 4, 43) says, o/xocrcu'Tes SpKOvs if IJLTJV /J.TJ iw^aiKa.-
K-fifffiv, ert Kal vvv 6/j.ou re TroArreiWrat, Kal TO?S 'dpKois e/iyueVet
6 Srj/nos. Converting the metaphor into a simile, we get " As
the Democrats did not take revenge when they conquered the
Tyrants, so you should not now wreak your vengeance on me
for my former ill-treatment of you, because you are now rich
and can punish me."
1151. This line is probably taken from some tragedy, perhaps one
dealing with Teukros' departure for Salamis(in Cyprus), when
banished by his father. Sophokles and Ion wrote dramas called
Teukros. The sentiment is common, and suits the practical
views of Hermes. Cp. Eurip., Phaeth. Fr. 774, us iravraxov

solum forti patria est." Publius Syrus, 623 Z, " Patria erit
vestra ubicumque vixeritis bene." Cic., Tusc. Quaest., V.,
37, " Teucri vox . . . Patria est ubicunque est bene."
1153. <rrpo(f>atov : " as god of turning," of the hinge (<rrp6(piyl;). On
the principle of "set a thief to catch a thief," statues of
Hermes were set up at the doors of houses eVl airoTpoTry r&v
&\\(av /cAeTTToi*/, as the Scholiast says. Karion pretends to
misunderstand him, and replies that they don't now want any
of his "tricky turns (crrpo$&v)."
1155. Hermes next desires employment as the god of Traffic, but they
are rich and don't need him to preside over petty traffic. Then
he applies as the god of Guile, but they are honest folk ; as
the god of Guidance, but Ploutos can now see ; and finally as
the god of Games, in which capacity he takes service in the
family of Chremulos. The Scholiast says, " Ae^erot Se 6 'Ep,u7js
(TTpufyaios, e'jUToAcuos, /cepSoJos, S^Aios, rjy/j,6^ios, fvayfavios, 5ta-
KOVOS. Of these ^ye/j.6vios is general, and he was called fi>68ios,
as guide of the living, and either iro^iralos or %0({j/ios, as guide
of the dead.
1167. yp<x| JL K l ' a<riv : see note on line 277, supra. There was, as is
evident from this passage, some fraudulent way by which a
juror could enter his name on more jury- panels than one,
though how this could be done is quite uncertain. There were
in all ten panels, and therefore only ten letters, at the outside.
The object of course would be that, if one panel had no case
to try, the fraudulent juror, having several other strings to
his bow, might be sure of getting his three obols in another
panel. In the same way Hermes, having many strings to his
bow, is always sure of employment in some capacity.
1168. errl TOVTOIS : " on these conditions." But no conditions have
been specified ; hence it is probable that some lines have
dropped out before this line, and that they referred to his
rejection as *vay<avios, and his employment as SiaxoviK6s.
According to the present text he is employed as fvaydvios, but
is first set to qualify for it by performing menial service.
1170. Exeunt Hermes and Karion. Enter the Priest and Chremulos.
The Priest of Zeus the Saver is starving. Nobody thinks of
sacrifice now. Zeus is nowhere honoured since men have
grown rich, and his priest's gains are gone. So the Priest
bids good-bye to Zeus the Saver, and enters the service of
Ploutos ; and all prepare a procession to Athene's temple to
enthrone Ploutos as the true Zeus.
A choral ode is missing at the end of line 1170.
1172. KCIKCOS : understand e^co. "What is the matter, my excellent
friend?" "How can I be otherwise than in a wretched

plight ? " But this answer is hardly satisfactory, and Holden
puts a comma after KO.KU>S, which he thus connects with
drroAwA', changing the intervening line to d^' ovirep OVTOS 6
Gfbs tfptaro jSAeVeii/, and regarding it as parenthetical.
1177. ov8ls diol : Nohody thinks it worth his while to sacrifice
when he is rich, because there are no dangers from which
Zeus could save him.
1181. SIKTJV diro<f>vywv : " having been acquitted in a law suit." SLK^V
8t<aKeii> is "to be the prosecutor in a trial" ; S/KTjf (pevyetv, to
try to escape, i.e., "to be the defendant in a trial"; SiKrjv
SiSovai = (1) dare poenas, to suffer punishment ; (2) and more
usually, sumere pocnas, to inflict punishment.
KaXXiepiTO : " And another in sacrificing would obtain favour-
able omens, and, as I was the priest, he would bid me to the
feast."
1186. jjiol SOKW : note the personal construction.
ecuras : "having bidden good-bye to," having re-
nounced.
1189. Zevs : Floutos is meant. He is the real Saver.
1191. l8pu<r6|jL0' : " we will straightway enthrone Ploutos, only wait
a little."
1193. 6mcr6d8o|i.ov : "The back-chamber" was the name given to
the Athenian Treasury, because it was situated at the back of
the temple of Athene, on the citadel.
The allusion is to the fact that by lengthened war, and
rjolitical change^ ^it Athens, the Treasury.. had become quite
exhausted. Hut on the banishment of the Thirty and the
restoration of the demui.-rai-y, Athens again began to grow
strong, and Aristopnanes here predicts that wealth will soon
return to the_Treasur^, ovxep irporfpoi/ ~f\v ISpSfjievosT
TT)S Oeov : Pallas Athene.
1194. Lighted torches are brought out, and the priest leads the way
for the god. The old woman bears a hand in the ceremony.
1199. TroiKiXa : understand i^arm. The Scholiast tells us that they
dressed in purple and in various gay colours for the pro-
cession. The old woman had come already decked out in
this way. ' ' And you came of your own accord dressed in
gay attire."
1204. Chremulos concludes with a pun which we cannot translate
literally into English, ypavs inline 1206 means the curds,
scum, &c., as of boiled milk, and was a rustic luxury, and in
NOTES. 107
the next line has its usual meaning, "an old woman."
Similarly in English we have " goody," which means " good-
wife," "good-woman," also used for " the bonbons given to
children." Some idea of the pun is given if we translate,
" Why, look you, these pipkins are doing quite the reverse of
all others. For in the case of the other pipkins the goodies
are on the very top, but these pipkins are on the very top of
the goody."
