PREFACE 
 
 
 THIS edition of the Clouds follows the lines of my 
 edition of the Wasps (Pitt Press, 1894); but, in 
 accordance with the wish of the publishers, the notes are 
 shorter, and there are fewer passages cited in illustration. 
 In striving to be brief I hope I shall not be found obscure. 
 For the notes I am largely indebted to the labours of 
 Dr Blaydes, and the editions of Teuffel (Kaehler, 1887) 
 and Green are referred to throughout. I have also to 
 thank Mr Green for valuable suggestions which he has 
 lately sent me. Rutherford's Neiv Phryniclms I have 
 found of the greatest use ; it is essential to every student 
 of Aristophanes. The grammatical references are mainly 
 to the last edition of Goodwin's Greek Moods and Tenses.

INTRODUCTION 
 
 The Comedy of the Clouds was exhibited at the Great or 
 City Uionysia in the year 423. The year before Aristophanes 
 had brought out the Knights, assaihng Cleon, the popular 
 patriot and hero, at the height of his power and success, with 
 equal audacity, wit and virulence. The play was a splendid 
 triumph ; but it naturally brought some trouble and danger to 
 the poet. Cleon, it is plain, struck back and struck hard ; 
 probably by impeaching his antagonist as an alien, as we gather 
 from sundry hints in the Wasps. A compromise of some sort 
 seems to have been made; Aristophanes held his hand from 
 Cleon, and he produced his next plays in another name. It was 
 better too to hold aloof from public men and public matters, 
 and not to meddle too directly with the burning questions of 
 the day. 
 
 There was a safer subject to hand, tempting to any satirist, 
 and thoroughly congenial to Aristophanes. There was a dragon 
 with poisonous breath, calling for his sharpest spear. The new 
 learning, he felt, was corrupting and killing the moral and 
 social life of Athens. The latter part of the fifth century was 
 a time of scepticism and free thought. Old beliefs in matters 
 of religion, old principles of government, old canons of 
 morality and conduct, were no longer to be accepted without 
 question. They were arraigned at the bar of intellectual and 
 logical inquiry, and called on to answer for themselves. 
 
viii INTRODUCTION 
 
 All this Aristophanes hated. ' It is against this growing 
 tone,' says Dr Merry, 'that Aristophanes, as an uncompromising 
 conservative, fights with desperate energy. It seemed to him 
 at once impious and immoral ; and, above all, it represented a 
 deep disloyalty to that glorious Athenian past, in the fore- 
 ground of which he seemed to see the men who had fought at 
 Marathon as the only true type of national virtue.' 
 
 Consequently he regarded:! with deep dislike and suspicion 
 the professors, the Sophists or 'teachers of wisdom,' mostly 
 foreigners, who descended on Athens and reaped a harvest from 
 the instruction of wealthy or ambitious young men. They 
 undertook to fit their pupils for the duties of practical and 
 public life; to train their minds indeed with scientific theories 
 and enlarge their mental horizon ; but above all to impart the 
 faculty of convincing argument and persuasive speech. 
 
 This is not the place to enter on a discussion of the Sophists 
 and their teaching. Enough to say that to a prejudiced and 
 hostile eye they might easily seem to teach a system of juggling 
 with words, of using logic to confound right and wrong, and of 
 questioning every accepted truth in morals and religion. The 
 old citizen's conception of a Sophist was like the typical British 
 sailor's notion of a lawyer. Thus Aristophanes hated and 
 feared the new teachers, and attacked them with the full 
 conviction of righteous wrath. Strange indeed it seems to us 
 that he should have taken Socrates as their representative, and 
 grossly unfair; for Socrates as we know him was the very 
 opposite of the quibbling and equivocating pedant. He was a 
 diligent searcher after truth at any cost; a man of hardy out- 
 door life, at home in every company, grudging his teaching to 
 none, and utterly indifierent to gain. Still he was known as a 
 daring inquirer, a perpetual questioner and arguer, a friend of 
 Euripides and other dangerous men. There was too, as Mr 
 Green shows in his Introduction, an element of actual enmity 
 and dislike. Socrates was not merely taken as representing a 
 school; the attack on him was personal, and felt to be so. 
 Years afterwards, in his defence on his trial, Socrates declared 
 that his most dangerous enemies were not those who actually 
 
INTRODUCTION ix 
 
 accused him in court, but those who had learned from Aris- 
 tophanes to regard him as an idle speculator on things above 
 and beneath the earth, and a perverter of right and wrong. 
 
 The Clouds proved unsuccessful when placed on the stage, 
 Cratinus winning the first prize with the nuriV//, and Ameipsias 
 being second with the Kowof. The verdict of the judges was 
 plainly backed by the general voice, for the poet reproaches the 
 spectators with rejecting and misunderstanding him, both in the 
 revised Parabasis of the Clouds, and in the Wasps which came 
 out the following year. This failure was a surprise and a severe 
 disappointment. Aristophanes declares that this was the best 
 and the most carefully written of his plays ; it was indeed too 
 subtle and refined for the bulk of the audience; vulgar farce 
 and coarse personalities were what they hked, and they had no 
 taste for higher art. Making every allowance for the self- 
 laudation which is habitual with Aristophanes, it is clear that 
 he aimed high in the Clouds, and believed himself to have 
 achieved a work admirable in its purpose and conception, and 
 dignified and charming in its style. 
 
 The Greek argument pronounces the play to be rliiv iraw 
 Si7j/nTfa)s- 7r€TToi,r)ij.fv(ov, 'a most able writing'; and critics generally 
 have echoed the judgment. It has always been the favourite of 
 the student and the scholar. It is certainly unsurpassed for 
 delicate touches of wit and irony, and the earlier songs of the 
 chorus are of exquisite beauty. The opening scene is excellent, 
 apixobiiora Kai de^Korara avyKeifxevos, as the old commentator says. 
 
 There is not much likelihood in the tradition that the failure 
 of the Clouds was brought about by the friends of Socrates. It 
 is more probable that the bulk of the spectators did not care 
 about philosophy, however amusingly travestied. And on the 
 whole I suspect -that it was not a good acting play. For one 
 thing the subject was too 'thin.' Scraps of science and snippets 
 of grammar could not be invested with an interest which would 
 carry away an audience, and the lessons which Socrates gives 
 his pupil are dull and tedious. Again there is a deficiency in 
 the characters. The chief personage indeed, Strepsiades, the 
 coarse blundering burgess, has life and individualitv; but Socrates 
 
X INTR OD UCTION 
 
 is a lay-figure labelled, and the other characters are lifeless 
 dummies. In fact Aristophanes was dealing with people and 
 things that he only knew from report and prejudice, and with 
 which he had no sympathy. He was not at home in the school 
 of philosophy as he was in the assembly and the law courts. 
 So the play is too ideal for the stage, without the strong personal 
 feeling which was looked for in comic scenes, and without the 
 broad and sustained farce which gives 'go' to a comedy. 
 
 Convinced of the merit of his work, Aristophanes determined 
 to remodel it. Of this we have the traditional account in 
 Argument iv. The play as we have it is the second Clouds ; 
 to which alone belong lines 518 — 562 in the Parabasis, the con- 
 test between the two Causes, and the final destruction of the 
 c})povTi(rTTJpLov. It is noticeable that the additions greatly add 
 to the violence with which Socrates is assailed. The older 
 play burlesqued him as an idle pedant ; the later attacks him 
 as a teacher of injustice and impiety. Probably Aristophanes 
 did not reproduce the Clouds^ for the statement that it reappeared 
 in 422, and failed more utterly than before, is plainly wrong. Nor 
 was the remodelling complete, for we still have repetitions and 
 omissions, and passages disjointed and unconnected — all which 
 a final revision would have removed.

 NOTES ON THE ARGUMENTS 
 
 1 
 
 I. TO Spafxa K.T.X. — the play is an express attack on Socrates for 
 corrupting the youth of Athens by his teaching; no love being lost 
 between the comic writers and the professors. 
 
 4. ovx> "S Tives — sc. \^yov<n. It was not inspired by private 
 pique. We may note that Archelaus, the great patron of Euripides, 
 did not become king of Macedonia till 413. 
 
 6 x°P°S — for the composition and arrangement of the Chorus, of 
 which a description is here given, see Diet. Ant. chorits. 
 
 II 
 
 I. <j>a<ri K.T.X. — an idle tradition, that the men who accused 
 Socrates more than twenty years after got Aristophanes to put forth 
 this play as a feeler of the public inclination. 
 
 3. TjvXaPovvTo -yap — because Alcibiades and his friends were warm 
 partizans of Socrates ; and indeed brought about the failure of the 
 Clouds. 
 
 6. 6 8€ TrpoXo-yos — i.e. the opening scene, i — 125. 
 
 9. T] ■ydp...oiKCa — see note on line 14. 
 
 Ill 
 
 A complete syllabus of the play in the form in which we have it. 
 7. €k(kvkXi])0€£o-t]s 8i T-qs SiaTpipTJs— ' the school being thrown 
 open,' by the stage contrivance called the eccyclenia. 
 
72 THE CLOUDS 
 
 IV 
 
 A traditional account of the recasting of the Clouds. 
 I. ^r\fT'\. — see lines 522 sq. 
 
 8. cttI 'A|i€tviov apxovTos — in 422. The statement is most im- 
 probable, as Aristophanes exhibited the Wasps and probably the 
 Rehearsal in 422. Moreover the Maricas of Eupolis, which is mentioned 
 in ihe parabasis (553), did not appear till 421. 
 
 9. TovTo K.T.X. — the second edition is a reproduction of the former, 
 but re-modelled in part, as if the poet had meant to reproduce the play, 
 but had not done so for some reason. The re-writing is extensive, and 
 the arrangement of the scenes is altered. The parabasis is new ; so is 
 the contest between the two Arguments, and the final burning of the 
 philosophers' school. 
 
 I. "AvvTos K.T.X. — see Argument II, and VI 19 sq. 
 
73 
 
 NOTES 
 
 Prologue^ li7ies i — 275 
 
 The Prologue is all that part of the play which comes before the 
 entrance of the Chorus. 
 
 I — 125. The scene shows the interior of the house of Strepsiades. 
 Father, son and slaves are lying on their mats, Strepsiades trying in vain 
 to sleep. Time (as in the Wasps) a little before daybreak. 
 
 1. Si Z€v Pao-iXeti — cf. Ran. 1278, w Zeu ^aaiXeO, t6 xPVI^^ t^^' 
 Kbirwv oaov. For to )(pifip.a cf. Ach. 150, oaov to xp^/xa Trapvdiroju : 
 also with sing. £g. 12 19. Such phrases, emphasizing size or strange- 
 ness, are especially common in Herodotus. 
 
 T«v wKT«v — the plural here suggests other uneasy nights which 
 Strepsiades had spent. Blaydes however says ' 7ioctis, ex usu Atti- 
 coruni.' No doubt [xiaai vvKres is a regular term for midnight, while 
 in such phrases as Plat. Protag. 310 C, \i(x,v irbppia ^do^e tQv vvktQv 
 elvai, the plural means the hours or watches of the night. 
 
 It is best to take 00-ov as exclamatory, with a stop at the end of the 
 line. This agrees with the quotation from the Frogs ; and the short 
 jerky sentences suit a man trying to sleep. 
 
 Otherwise, if 6<xov be taken with direpavTOv, the phrase must be 
 explained either (i) as equivalent to air^pavTov 6aou, like inrepcpurjs 
 6V0S, jnirum quantum^ and the like ; or (2) as a relative construction, 
 {Toaovrov) oaou awepavTov. The view that oaov is used like ws, 'how 
 endless,' is not supported by Attic usage. 
 
 5. 01 8* o'lKcrai pe'-yKovo-t — the house-slaves had an easy time of it 
 during the war. If harshly treated they might desert, nor could they 
 be sent to work in the country as in time of peace; cf. Eq. 26: also

 KoXdop* ?|€o-Ti — Blaydes cites numerous instances of this elision, as in 
 line 42, and adds, ' eliditur semper diphthongus ai ante vocalem in 
 thesi ; contra in arsi servatur aut crasis fit' ; as in Ack. 62, dxdofxaL 'yd. 
 Green points out that iindLdSvai (ewLdovvai) '/xavrdv is read by Mein. in 
 Thestn. 217, which seems inconsistent with this rule. 
 
 8. xP'n*'"''°5 — 'worthy,' ironical, as often in Demosthenes. ov- 
 TOcrC — the son is sleeping near the father, who points to him ; cf. 14 : 
 Vesp. 67, tariv yap i]fuu deaTrorr]^ eKeivOai, * over yonder.' 
 
 9. TTjs vvKTos — genitive of time ' within which' ; see note on Fesp.

 scholiast explains, b^are fir}8e dvdpujTrdv axVf^'^ 87]\ovv. Kop86\ij is a 
 lump or swelling on the head from a blow, and also some sort of head- 
 gear (rpbs K€(f>a\rj TrpoaelXtj/ixa, which suggests a turban), 
 
 11. aXX' d 8oKei — 'well, if you like.' He turns ovei-, wrapping 
 himself up, and tries to sleep, but presently starts up again. 
 
 12. 8aKvdn€vos — 'tormented'; the literal meaning too is of course 
 suggested, as in 37 and 710. Note the alliteration in this line and the 
 next. 
 
 13. TTJS — 'all this,' i.e. the expense I incur.

 young Pheidippides, as Dr Merry says, 'was intended to remind the 
 
1.24] NOTES 75 
 
 audience of Alcibiades, who sought dav/xd^eadat dirb t^s 'nriroTpocpias 
 (Thuc. vi. 12, 2). Pheidippides belonged on his mother's side (46) to 
 the family of the Alcmaeonidae, and Alcmaeon himself Tedpnnro- 
 Tpo(p7](7a$ 'OXv/xvLada dvaipeerai, Hdt. vi. 125.' 
 
 k6|xtiv ?x"v — the fashion of conceited youth : Ves/>. 1069, ttoWQv

 UP tV /JLopc/irjv KbfJL-qv ^Tp€(pev iirl iroXi) ttjs rjXiKias, Athen. xii. 534 C

 15. iinra^cTai k.t.X. — riding and driving are meant; pvu fxh iirl 
 KiXfjTOS, vvv 8k iirl ^vpojpidos dp/xaros dxovfxepos dpo) /cat /cdrco /3a/cxfi5fi 
 (schol.). 'nrTrd^ofxai, as Mr Green points out, is used in Homer of 
 driving ; as 'nnre^s and liriroTrjs denote the charioteer or the hero 
 driven. 
 
 16. ov€tpoiro\€i — so line 27 : £(/. 809, with TepL Blaydes gives 
 several instances with the direct accusative from Lucian, Plutarch etc. 
 In Dem. F/itl. i. 54 § 49, we have the cognate construction iroWd 
 TOiavTU 6p€ip6ir6\eiv. 
 
 17. elKciSas — the twentieth, twenty-first etc. The 'twenties,' as 
 we speak of the 'teens' (Green). The interest would be due at the end 
 of the month, and this would be drawing unpleasantly near; cf 1131. 
 For the counting et/cds, irpdjTT] eirl eUddt k.t.X. see Diet. Ant. i. 338, 
 calendarinm : also note on 11 31. 
 
 18. \o>pov(riv — 'are coming on' or 'going on': Vesp. 1483, tovtI 
 Kal dri xwpei rb KaKop. dirT€ — Strepsiades now gives up the idea of 
 sleep. He calls for a light, and begins to examine his accounts. 
 
 21. Ilao-ia — see 121354. Pasias sounds like a banker's name. 
 iThus Pasion the banker, who appears in Demosthenes' speech for 
 \ Phormioiiy had a son named Pasicles. 
 
 22. ToC — for the genitive of price and the like, cf. 31, 864 etc. 
 
 tL €\pT]o-a|jLT]v — 'what was that loan?' i.e. what was it for? 
 ri is generally explained as equivalent to ets ri ; but the construction is 
 i more strictly cognate : cf. 202, tI eVrt xRWi-f^op ; 
 
 23. KOTnraT^av— so 438 : Koppa was the first letter of KSpipdos in 
 old inscriptions, and the koppa stamp (9) was said to mark a Corinthian 
 breed of horses, of fabled descent from Pegasus. cafKpdpas (122) was 
 another brand. In the Anagyrus of Aristophanes (Fr. 235) ^ovk^- 
 (pdXoi and Ko-mraTias are coupled together, whence it is supposed that 
 §ovK^(paXos too denoted a brand, and was not a name derived from the 
 shape of the horse's head. 
 
 1^. llcKOTTTiv — most editors read i^eKdirr], for if the horse's eye had 
 
76 THE CLOUDS [1. 25- 
 
 been knocked out Pheidippides would not have made his father buy 
 him. But i^eKOTn]^ is found in all the manuscripts, and as the third 
 person is the more obvious, why should it have been altered to the first? 
 The meaning is, I would sooner have lost an eye, than lost all this 
 money in horse-dealing (Rogers) ; and, as Mr Green says, ' We may 
 suppose the expression colloquial and common, and chosen here 
 chiefly for the sake of the alliterative pun.' The jingle on kott, ' I 
 wish I'd had my eye copped out,' suggests a pun on the horse's brand 
 /and eye to Walsh, and a better, 'hack ' and 'hacked out,' to Rogers. 
 
 25. ^i\wv, dSiKeis — Pheidippides is dreaming of a race. ddLKeiv 
 is used of unfair conduct in any sport, ^\avv€...8p6p.ov — 'keep 
 your own course ' : cf. t'/c dpo/mov, ^^oj dpd/xov. 
 
 26. TOVT 'ifTTi tovtC — cf. 1052 : Far. 64, tout ^ari tovtI to KaKhv. 
 
 27. iiririK-qv — ' sine articulo, ut saepe alibi' (Blaydes): so fiovaiKr], 
 yvfjLvaaTiK'/i etc. 
 
 28. iroo-ovs 8p6jjiovs k.t.X. — 'how many courses (rounds) are the 
 chariots to drive?' This is the simplest view of the line. Kock 
 however would make ^i\(av the subject of €\«j : and Blaydes approves

 29. €(Ji^ |i€V— ' me in truth': a common usage with pronouns; cf. 
 1038, 1050. 
 
 30. Ti yj^io% ^Pa — a choric fragment, as the Doric dialect shows. 
 The scholiast cites r'l xp^os ^/3a dw/ma ; from Euripides. tI xP^^s in the 
 tragedy Avould mean 'what harsh necessity ?' as in I/erc. Fur. 530, W 
 Kuivbu ^Xde ddcfxaaiv xp^os; Strepsiades however means 'what debt?' 
 Xjoews is the Attic form. The scholiast explains ^^a by KareXa^e. For the

 fxiKpoiis elfai Kai Kovcpovs rots dyiavt^oixivoLS. Tpo^^oiv — 'a pair of 
 
 wheels.' The old man seems to mean a racing chariot, made up of ' a 
 couple of wheels and a bit of board.' *A}xvv£a — a friend and fellow 
 
 enthusiast seems meant, not a money-lender; though he did oblige 
 Pheidippides with a loan, 1270 sq. Amynias is therefore probably 
 
'.

 taking him out of his harness ' i.e. stripping him of girths, saddle etc., 
 which agrees better with the compound e^aXtcrat 'to roll out of.' 
 
 33. £|t]XiKas — *you have rolled me out of,' or 'stripped me bare 
 enough of my substance,' as Mr Green renders it. 
 
 34. 0T6 Ktti — see line 7. tokov — 'for interest,' as we say to 
 distrain for rent ; see line 22 : so the genitive is used with viroTid-qixi, 'to

 35. €V€xvpa(r€(r0at — sc. Ta xpTj/^ara. The middle, as in EccL 567, 
 implies taking security for one's own debt. The active is used in a law 
 cited Dem. Aleid. 518, § 4: so Androt. 762 § 197, Tavrriv ivexvpd^eiv, 
 ' to take her (a slave) in pledge,' for money due to the state. For the 
 passive, see infr. line 241. 
 
 As regards the reading, there is some slight manuscript authority for 
 the future (see critical note), and it is certainly right. The aorist 
 infinitive is indeed used, in reference to future time, with verbs of 
 promising, hoping^ and the like; but such instances with verbs of 
 saying or thinking, though found in the text of various authors, are 
 anomalous, or according to some critics totally inadmissible; see 
 Goodwin §§ 127 and 136.

 the sense of 'however,' or like cetertim after a parenthesis or digression.

 the same form is derived from Kofdvwixi.. cIktj k«£}wvos— 'lying at

 country are left ' lying about anyhow,' or tliat the life of the farmer

 Strepsiades w ould take his coat (threadbare, unmended and buttonless 
 orobably) as the te.xt {vpocpaaip) of his preaching and ironically 
 :omn\end his wife's housewifery.' But this gives too mean an idea of

 Drosperons country gentleman.

 father reproaches the son for wasting oil. 
 
 57. Ti...'q'jrTes — 'why must you light?' We might expect tb 
 aorist; hut the imperfect, like IveriOeis below, gives a 'side-view' o 
 the action taking place, instead of an 'end-view' regarding it a:

 caesuram pravam anapaesti.' Otherwise one would adopt it, as 
 nearest to the readings of R and V. IXoiSopovfjieOa— ' we began to

 'was for giving,' 'wished to give,' while the aorists in line 67 give the 
 final decision. 
 
 63. 11 |J.^v "ydp Xirirov — 'she wished to put a horse in the name.' 
 Many illustrious Greek names were thus compounded, Hippias,

 father and the son of Pericles were so called. Xaipiirirov — see critical

 65. TO Tov irdirirov— sc. 6vofxa. Either this or d7r6 rod TrdiriTov 
 must be read, according to Mcineke, and Blaydes says 'vulgata certe 
 defendi nequit.' Mr Green indeed urges that the genitive is used with 
 KoKeiv of the person after whom another is named ; and suggests that 
 eTid^fjLTju is substituted for eKaXovv, ' I, after his grandfather, was for 
 making him Phidonides.' But surely ouo/xa must be implied, as it is two 
 lines below, while Tldeadai ovofxa is perpetually occurring. Besides, the 
 instances cited in Liddell and Scott, which are all passive, do not shew

 depend on arpairbv, 'a path to go by.' Both rhythm and sense are in 
 favour of the former view, if only the use of ^poPTi^cov can be supported. 
 ^povri^it} is generally used in a negative sense of *not thinking much of 
 somebody or something (125), or else absolutely in the sense of 
 'pondering.' Blaydes indeed cites Xen. Me^n. iv. 8, 5, (ppovrla-ai, ttjs

 authorities. He adds 'sed scripserat, ni fallor, comicus (ppovTi^ojv /xbXis

 Apollo dyvie^is, whose statue stood by their doors, and the son naturally 
 appeals to his own tutelary god, whose image he had placed near at 
 hand. Dindorf indeed urges that ovtos and ovroai do not necessarily 
 imply actual presence, but are often used emphatically where we say 
 'that,' e.g. Plat. Gor^. 470 D, opds 'Apx^Xaov tovtov rbv IlepdlKKov;

 99. Xt'-yovra viKciv — cf. 115, 12 10 etc. The accusative depends on 
 either word, or rather on the compound idea of both. For the use of 
 VLKav cf. Vesp. 594, yuufXTju evLKyjaeu. 
 
 roi. jJi€pijJLVO<J>povTi(rTai — i.e. iJ.epi./j.u7]Tai and (ppofTLarai. Both 
 words are applied to students and philosophers: cf. 951, and 1404. 
 Eur., Affd. 1228, derides fiepi/xvrjTas \6yu}i> and tous <TO(povs doKovvras 
 ehai.. KoXok t€ Kd'yaOoi — 'right worthy gentlemen'; a favourite 
 
 phrase, says Blaydes, with the Socratic school. 
 
 102. aipoi — an expression of disgust, e.g. at a bad smell; here at i 
 the distasteful recollection of the men whom Pheidippides already knew 
 by sight. TTOVTipot y, oI8a— 'a scrubby lot, I know': or perhaps 
 with a pause, 'I know them.' tovs dXatovas — 'those humbugs': 
 *proprium et constans sophistarum epithetum' (Blaydes). 
 
 103. TOVS wxptwvTtts — 'the pale student' has always been a stock 
 figure in comedy, and the Smike-like Chaerephon was an unusually 
 obnoxious specimen: cf. 504: Fesp. 1412. dvv7ro8iiTous — a 
 peculiarity of philosophers and others who affected hardiness and 
 simplicity of life, and a characteristic habit of Socrates. Thus Phaedrus 
 says when Socrates proposes to walk along the Ilissus, ' It is lucky I 
 came without my shoes ; you never wear them' (Plat. Phaedr. 229 a). 
 
 104. «v — sc. eiVi: cf. 107. Xaipe<f>wv — a friend of Socrates 
 from his youth; cf. Plat. Apol. 21 A, where the scholiast says he was 
 lean and pale, a sycophant and parasite, dishonest and dirty. He was 
 called the bat from his dark looks and thin voice. 
 
 105. TJ TJ — Ran. I'ji, rj '^avdia's. The sound corresponds to our c/i !

 or 'cutting': so Plat. Com. ii. 628, /cat rets 60puj (rxd(ra(r^e /cat ras 
 6fA(paKas, i.e. have done with your ill-temper. These are metaphorical 
 and apparently slang uses of the word; derived, according to the 
 scholiast, from rowing: Pind. Py//i. x. 51, Kibvav axdaov. The pri- 
 mary meaning of (rxa^w, as is shown in Mr Green's note, is to cut or 
 slit open : ' then what has been tightly done up is, by slitting, loosed 
 or opened, and the cover or bands drop slack ' : cf. 740. tt^v 
 
 iiririKijv — Blaydes suspects the reading, as 'tTTTri/cT? sine articulo legitur 
 ubique apud nostrum, 27 etc' Plere however the article has an 
 appropriate force = ' your taste for horses.' 
 
 108. ovK av — cf. 5, 154: Ac/i. 966, ovK &v...ei doitj yi fioi: Phtt. 
 928, oi)5' h.v el doLT]^ yi fMoi. 
 
 109. <j)a(riavovs — authorities ancient and modern alike are at issue 
 whether horses or birds are meant. Dindorf with others pronounces 
 for horses, his main argument being that (pa<naviK6s is applied to a bird, 
 not (paffLavos. But Blaydes' note shows sufficient authority for <pa<Tiav6s 
 opvis, while a Phasian breed of horses appears to be unknown : pheasants 
 are therefore most likely meant. 
 
 A rich and luxurious man would keep them like peacocks, for 
 .show and for the table. Blaydes cites Aelian JV. A. xiii. 18, eV 5e rots 
 irapadeiaoLS rpecpovTai p-h /cat raiio'i ^/xepoi /cat x^'poTj^ets (paffiavol. The 
 son no doubt had other fashionable tastes as well as that for horses. 
 AewYopas — a rich gourmand {Vesp. 1268), father of Andocides the 
 orator. 
 
 112. civat Trap* avrois — i.e. they possess this secret and can 
 impart it (7ra/ja5t56i'at) to others: cf. Plat. Gorg. 452 c, d/i0t(r/37/ret 
 Topylas ttju Trap avT($ Texvfjv fxet^ovos dyadou airiav elvai i] t7]v a-qv. 
 Shortly before this passage irapa Vopylq. has the same meaning, not ' in 
 the estimation of Gorgias' as Cope renders it. 
 
 'To make the worse appear the better cause was the claim, not of 
 Socrates and his followers, but of other rhetorical teachers and specially 
 of Protagoras, who introduced the custom of teaching his disciples to 
 argue for and against a given thesis with equal plausibility and 
 ingenuity' (Rogers). Socrates however got the credit of such sophistry, 
 as we learn from Plato, Apol. 18 B. 
 
 113. oo-Tis k<rrL — 'whatever that may be.' The sense applies to 
 both \byoi., of which Strepsiades had but little knowledge. 
 
 115. viKav XiyovTO. — for the construction cf. 99. Here the eVepos 
 X670S is as it were personified and is the subject of vikcLu. 
 
 119. I8€iv— i.e. to face them. As idelv is rather 'to see' than 'to

 diaKeKvaicr/xevoi: but it was the faces of the tliinkers that particularly 
 disgusted Pheidippides {103), and diaKeKvaia-fi^uos is 'disfigured' gene- 
 rally.

 KaTeSofiai, AcJi. iri2 etc. 
 
 122. 6 (ra(Ji<j>opas — a horse marked with cdv, the Doric equivalent 
 to a^yixa : cf. 45. The (ra/xcpdpas may have been a showy expensive 
 horse, as Mr Green suggests, put on the outside (aeipa^opos), as he 
 seems distinguished from the ^vyios: see 1298.

 KOpaKas eK tQv ttoKitCov. 
 
 125. aviirtrov ovt' — so Blaydes, following Cobet's conjecture; 
 'nunquam enim post verbum irepLopdv omittitur participium.' The son 
 now goes away, leaving Strepsiades to make the best of the state of 
 things. 
 
 126 — 221. Strepsiades, undismayed by his son's refusal, applies 
 himself for admission to the school. A disciple, who answers his call, 
 tells him some wondrous stories of the master's wisdom, and at length 
 lets him in. He sees the students, and strange appliances for study, and 
 finally Socrates himself suspended in a basket. The part of the disciple 
 is taken by the actor who has represented Pheidippides. 
 
 126. ov8' €"yco— 'I won't give in either,' i.e. anymore than you; 
 oy5e='also not,' as it generally means. 
 
 |ji€VTOi— 'nevertheless,' 'after all'; or perhaps simply a strong affir- 
 mation, ireo-wv yi K€i(ro|Jiai— like a thrown wrestler ; Ere/. 962, 
 KaTairea-iov Kdaop-ai. The old man is determined not to be floored by 
 his son's refusal. 
 
1. Hi] NOTES 87 
 
 127. €v|dfjL£vos — prayer was right and natural before a great 
 undertaking. Thus Philocleon is called on to pray before trying to 
 escape, Vesp. 388 : and the rival tragedians with Dionysus pray before 
 the poetic contest, Ran. 871, 885. 8i8d|o[xai — 'I will get myself 
 
 taught.' Here 5i5d^Ojuat has the strict force of the middle; but it is a 
 true passive, Soph. Ant. 7 ■26, ol TrjXLKoide Kal dida^o/xeada drf, 
 
 130. (TxivSaXdjiovs — 'the nice hair-splittings of subtle logic' 
 (Rogers); so Ran. 819, (rx^SaXd/xw;/ vapa^oPLa: lit. shavings or 
 splinters. 
 
 131. Iti]t€Ov — after a moment's hesitation he nerves himself to the 
 trial. ri ravr 'iyjiav a-rpayyivoiiai; — 'why do I keep loitering?'; 
 so 509, tI KVTTTd^eLS ^X^^ ) ^^' 54i» ^VP^^^ 'ix'^v- ravra is connected 
 with the two words as a cognate accusative, ' thus, in this fashion.' 
 
 132. dXX' 0VX.1 — we say 'and do not knock'; the Greek idiom is 
 with dWd, cf. 227 etc. irai, iraiSiov — knocking, and calling for 
 an attendant; so Dionysus knocks at Heracles' door {Ran. 37), and 
 calls Traidiov, ttol, -fjimi, Trot. The two passages are much alike: so 1145. 
 
 133. pdW €s KopaKas — not addressed to the knocker, but applying 
 to the circumstance. So we might say, ' Confound it, who is this 
 knocking?': cf. Vesp. 835, 
 
 /3d,XX' is KopaKas, tolovtovI rpicpeiv Kvva, 
 
 134. 4>€i8wvos — but, according to 65, the grandfather's name was 
 Pheidonides. KiKuvvoOtv — from Cicynna, a deme of the tribe 
 Acamantis. 
 
 136. direpiiiepCjxvws — d<r /cottws, d,aa^u)s (schol.); * without consider- 
 ation'; cf. note on loi. XeXdKTiKas implies a violent assault on 
 the door, like KevravpiKCos ii^ifiXaTo, Ran. 38. 
 
 137. e|i]|xp\a)Kas — 'have spoiled, ruined': strictly of an untimely 
 birth ' made abortive.' Socrates was the son of a midwife, and used to 
 say that he followed his mother's trade, by helping others to develop 
 their mental conceptions. €|T]\)pT|[jt€'vT|v — the tenses of evpiaKco are 
 perpetually found without the augment, and the old grammarians were 
 at issue as to which forms were right, while some admitted both. It is 
 certainly reasonable to follow the analogy of other verbs in ev, and to 
 write Tjvpov, rjvprjKa. 
 
 138. TT]Xov Twv d-ypcSv — 'far away in the country'; a partitive 
 genitive: cf. e/cds x^oj'os, irou yrjs; hue viciniae, and the like. 
 
 140. dXX* ov 9€nis K.T.X. — an unworthy sneer, as if Socrates 
 grudged his teaching to the world at large; so 143. 
 
 141. e*y» "ydp otixoori — ecLvrbv dekwai (schol.), putting himself

 the Eleusinian mysteries: cf. Te\ov/j.€i'ovSy 258. 
 
 145. \j/u\\av 6ir6<rovs aWoiro — the same construction as in 95. 
 Dr Merry points out that this is a gilie at the dictum of Protagoras, 
 TrdvTiov fierpou av6pu}iTOS. * This saying represented every one as a law^ 
 to himself, and denied any fixed principle of truth. Here the flea 
 supplies its own scale for measurement.' tovs avTT)S ir68as — 
 Blaydes says ' vulgata plane soloeca est,' and suggests tCjv avrijs ttoSuju. 
 But the predicative construction of oTroaovs is quite right : one might 
 say, avriper' oiroaoi vapeiev ol Audpes, lit. ' in what number the men were 
 there': cf. Soph. Anf. 360, diropos iw ovdev epx^rai to /.leXXov, where 
 ov8h specifies the extent to which to fx^Wov applies. 
 
 146. rY\v o(j>pvv— the flea selects the prominent features of the 
 sages, Chaerephon's bushy eyebrows and Socrates' bald head. 
 
 148. For the reading see the critical note. Blaydes, who reads 
 Trws dijTa dLe/x^Tprjae; 'measured the distance across,' cites Lucian, 
 Prom. 6, -^vKkCiv Trri8r}ixa.Ta Sia/xeTpovuras, * ubi ad hunc locum procul 
 dubio respicitur.' 
 
 150. Tw TToSc — its two hind feet, as if the flea were a biped. 
 
 151. \}/ux€iort — this is Blaydes' correction, sc. tois ttocL. Most 
 manuscripts have xpvydarj, sc. tt/ ^vWrj. Dindorf with one manuscript 
 reads \pvx'^^(^V^ ^.s the right Attic form. Herwerden has xpvylvTos {tov 
 KTjpoO), Meineke and Kock, \}/vx'^vtos. '7r€pie(|>v(rav — ' formed round 
 them.' 'ir€p(riKat are women's shoes; Eccl. 319: Thesm. 734, 
 irepaiKas ^X'^^' of ^ ma.n dressed like a woman. 
 
 152. viroXvo-as — the proper word for taking off shoes: cf. Vt's/. 
 1 157, where vwoXvov rds KarapaTovs i/x^dSas (Cob.) seems the right 
 reading, not ciTroSi^oi; or inrodvou. dv£}Ji£Tpei — *he proceeded to 
 measure the distance back.' 
 
 153. (0 Zev pao-iXtv — his favourite exclamation, see line 2. ttjs 
 Xc-irTOTT^Tos — 'what a subtle intelligence !' The genitive of exclamation 
 is very common, e.g. Ves/). i6i, "AttoWov d-rroTpdiraie, tou fxapreu/xaTos. 
 It gives the cause of astonishment and is analogous to such phrases as 
 OavjuLa^u} ae ttJs TdXfxrjs.

 157. 67r6T€pa — 'which was his opinion': biroTepa for ovorepou, as 
 in Hdt. V. 119. 
 
 158. Kara — * at ' or 'by.' The scholiast notes that gnats and such 
 insects Trdura 8ia rod ar-qdovs rriv (pojvrjv irpo'teTai. The sound is of 
 course really produced by the vibration of the wings. 
 
 161. 8id XeiTTov 8' ovTos avrov — we should say 'through this 
 narrow passage.' Blaydes illustrates the Greek construction by Thuc. 
 vii. 84, 4, iu kol\(^ ovTi tu Trorajxi^ rapaaaofiivovs. 
 
 162. Pia PaSi^civ — 'passes violently': cf. Plat. Phaedr. 254 A, 
 jSi'a (p^perai, ' rushes violently.' 6v0u — with genitive * straight for ' ; 
 Av. 1421, cvdv HeW'qfTjs. 
 
 163. KoiXov irpos trnvto — these adjectives are in agreement re- 
 spectively with the substantives in the next line. The idea is that the 
 ivTepov of the gnat is a narrow tube ending in a wide mouth, thus 
 forming a trumpet. irpo(rK€{|X€Vov is ' fitted on,' like the mouth of 
 a trumpet. 
 
 i66. w Tpio-naKcCpios k.t.X. — with the nominative w (or w, vid. 
 Stallbaum on Plat. Phacdr. 227 d) is an exclamation about a person; so 
 Vesp. 900. For the following genitive cf. Vesp. 1292, iw xeXuJ;/at 
 IxaKOLpiai Tov Sep/xaTos. 8i€vT€p€V(iaTOS — ' insight into the inside ' is 
 
 Blaydes' rendering, in accordance with the scholiast. It is a word 
 coined for the occasion, from hrepov, with a supposed allusion to 
 diepevvav, a word of philosophical investigation. rpiafMaKaptos thus 
 refers to Socrates. But as some inferior manuscripts have rpLanaKapioL, 
 Bentley suggested Tpi<r[xaKap(.ai referring to the efiirides. dievripev/xa 
 would then, as Mr Green says, be the ' intestinal passage ' through the 
 gnat's body, at whose wondrous internal structure Strepsiades is so 
 surprised. Besides, why should not TptafxaKapios agree with vpiOKTos? 
 
 167. 4>€V7wv dv aTro<})v"YO^ — Viesp. 479, (pevyccu, ovk d7ro(p€vyei : see 
 Blaydes for other instances. vSuch combinations were not unpleasing 
 to the Greek ear. Strepsiades is thinking still of his own reasons for 
 coming to Socrates. 
 
 168. 8ioi8€ — ' sees through ' i.e. knows thoroughly. 
 
 170. dorKaXaP«Tou — the same as yaXeuTTj^, 174, a spotted lizard, 
 stellio. 
 
 i-ji. rds 680VS — so 584. 
 
 174. tJotOtjv — 'I like the idea'; so 1240: £(/. 696, rjadrjv d7ret\a?s. 
 The Greek idiom is more exact than the English. We say ' what do 
 you say?' but the Greek is ttcDs elTras; rt tovt ^Xe|as; i.e. at the 
 moment when you spoke: so ri edav/xaaas; 185. There was a story of 
 
90 THE CLOUDS [1. 176— 
 
 Thales tumbling into a well while contemplating the heavens. The 
 idea is here transferred to Socrates with a difference. 
 
 176. irpos TaX<J)iT — to get his supper; cf. 648. ctraXajiTJo-aTO — 
 'contrived.' 
 
 177. Kara ttis Tpaire^Tjs k.t.X. — the account is not very clear, nor 
 meant to be ; it is probably merely intended to astonish Strepsiades. I 
 think the explanation given by Mr S. R. Winans is the most probable 
 [American Journal of Philology, xvi. i). He considers that Socrates is 
 supposed to be skilled in magic arts. He performed in the (PpovrLar-qpiov 
 some mystic geomantic process, by which he transferred a piece of meat 
 {Ovixdriov) from the TroKaia-Tpa to the table of his hungry disciples. 
 
 TTjs Tpaire'^iis is usually taken to be a table by the altar on which 
 the sacred vessels were placed and the victims cut up. But it is much 
 better to understand it, with Winans, of the table in the (ppofTLaTTipiov 
 used for calculations and diagrams. Nothing is said about Socrates 
 leaving his headquarters. 
 
 XciTTTiv T€(}>pav — for drawing figures; sand or dust being the 
 customary and proverbial surface for the geometrician's work: cf. Pers. 
 Sal. i. 131, secto in pulvere metas: Cic. de Nat. Deor. ii. 18, 48, pulvis 
 eruditus, i.e. the study of geometry : id. Tiisc. v. ^s, 64 (Archimedem) a 
 pulvere et radio excitabo : Sen. Ep. 88, itane in geometriae pulvere 
 haerebo ? 
 
 Kara tt]S will thus be 'down over.' Teuffel however takes it as 
 'down from,' supposing that Socrates takes wood ashes from the table 
 of sacrifice and spreads them on the ground. 
 
 178. Ka|x\}/a$ 6peXi<rKov — according to the scholiast, Socrates bent 
 the straight spit or skewer, on which there was nothing to cook, into a 
 hook with which to filch away the coat (reading dol/xdriov). 8ia- 
 p7]TT]v Xa|3c6v — one view is that Socrates bent the spit, and then used 
 it as a pair of compasses. But surely, even if ws can be implied, the 
 words cannot be equivalent to cI'S bia^-qTrj xP^f^^^^^' ^^'^ ^ proper 
 pair of compasses must have been at hand in the (ppovrLar-qpiov. 
 
 179. €K Ti]S iraXaicTTpas k.t.X. — i.e. by his skill in magic, as 
 Winans holds. The other view is that Socrates, standing by the table 
 of sacrifice, distracts the attention of the attendants by drawing his 
 diagrams, and meanwhile appropriates the meat. OvjiaTiov is 
 Hermann's correction of 6oip.dTLov and is now generally accepted. It 
 makes rather better sense, especially with Winans' view of the passage. 
 dolp.driov has however this to be said for it, that clothes-stealing from 
 the iraXalxTTpa was a common offence, and as such guarded against by 
 
 itl( 
 
1. 198] NOTMS 9t 
 
 special penalties. Still this very fact may have led a copyist into error 
 in such an obscure passage. Besides, the article with IfiaTiou, ' that 
 cloak,' is out of place. 
 
 i8o. Tov ©aXriv — ' the allusion to Thales now gets a better point. 
 He is apostrophized not as the wise man, but as the geometer who 
 calculated eclipses and in the popular belief taught the Egyptians how 
 to take the height of their pyramids' (Winans). 
 
 i8i. dvvo-as — 'at once'; Fesp. ^gS: with ri, 506 etc. 
 
 182. SwKpotTT] — the reading of nearly all the manuscripts is 
 I,ioKpdTr]v. The grammarians assign liioKparrj to Plato, "ZwKpaT-rjv to 
 Xenophon: 'minime tamen sibi constant libri Mss.' (Blaydes). Similar 
 names e.g. Arj/xoadivrj^, 'Ep/noKpdTrjs, KaWiKpoLTrjs, generally have the 
 accusative in tjv according to manuscript authority. 
 
 183. [i.aQir]Ti<a — Blaydes gives a long list of verbs in lav, denoting 
 mental or bodily inclination : we have another instance in line 44. 
 
 184. The door is thrown open, and the disciples are discovered at 
 their studies. Their squalid and miserable appearance appals Strep- 
 siades. 
 
 w'HpaKXcis — Heracles is invoked as the averter of ill (dXe^tVa/cos) : 
 Av. 93, c5 'Hpa/cXets, rovri ri ttot' icrrl drjpiov ', 
 
 186. Tois €K IIvXov — see Thuc. iv. '27 — 41. The Spartans from 
 Sphacteria had been kept on short rations in the island, and were 
 afterwards imprisoned at Athens. AaKwviKois — adjective used as 
 
 substantive, so 'kxo-pviKol, Ach. 324. 
 
 188. Tct Kard -yiiis — the charge of investigating ra virb yrjs and rd 
 i-jrovpavia is repeatedly mentioned in Plato's Apology, e.g. 18 B. 
 PoXpovs — rd Xeyo/xefa iidva (schol.) : v5ua according to Liddell and

 suggestion of o\)Ti,3 would be an improvement. 
 
 200. Strepsiades now enters the school and is amazed at the sight 
 of astronomical and geometrical instruments. Trpos t«v 0€wv as 
 usual asks a question or makes an appeal, tt/jos with the genitive is 
 never used of swearing by a god in affirmation. 
 
 202. tC; — 'in what?' 
 
 203. dva|i€Tp€ia-0ai — i.e. to measure; but Strepsiades understands 
 it of portioning out land to the citizens, and asks if he means Tiiv 
 KXrjpovx^iKijv, the land of conquered countries to which K\i]povxoi were 
 assigned. For such allotments see Diet. Ant. colonia, i. 7. 
 
 204. d<rT€tov Xc'ycis — 'a charming idea'; Strepsiades thinks that 
 all the world is to be divided up. Rogers suggests as a Latin 
 translation, 'urbane dicis: urbi enim utile est callidum hoc com- 
 mentum.' In illustration of the passage he cites Plat. Phaedr. 227 D,

 205. <r6<|)i(r(ia — ' device, scheme ' : Hdt. iii. 152, iravTa aocpiafxaTa 
 Kai Trdaas ixr)xc-va^ eTreiroi-^Kee : often used in a bad sense of tricks, and 
 so of verbal or logical tricks, quibbles, sophisms. 8t]hotik6v — 
 'popular'; the word, like populaiis and civilis^ is used both of persons 
 and things.

 208. Iir€l 8iKao-Tds— the special local feature. ' How the oracles 
 are coming to pass,' says Bdelycleon in the IVasps, 'for I once heard 
 that every Athenian should have a law-court of his own ' ( Vesp. 799 — 
 804). 
 
 209. »s — usually explained as meaning 'be assured that,' as in 
 Ach. 335, ws aTTOKTevCj. There is a nearly similar usage in Vesp. 416. 
 Kock however suggests tovO' u>s dXrjdujs, 'in very truth,' and Cobet 
 would omit the line. Blaydes approves of Dobree's conjecture of 
 
 'A-TTlK-q for 'kTTLKbv.

 212. TrapaTtTarai — 'is stretched out': Eur. Hel. 1673, '^"P' 
 'Akttjv TeTaixhrjV vrjoov. 
 
 213. TrapexaGti — 'was stretched on the rack,' distressed and 
 tortured : Liddell and Scott give several instances of metaphorical 
 usage in this sense. The allusion is to the subjugation of the revolted 
 Euboea in 446: see Thuc. i. 114, 2, YlepiKkiovs crTpaTrjyoOvTOS Karearpi-

 215. TovTo irdvu <|)povTi^€Tc — i.e. this is a matter well worthy of 
 your (ppovrls ; cf. 189. Bentley's suggestion of fieTacppovTi^ere is very 
 ingenious and tempting, especially as there is a var. lect. fxeya for wduv. 
 Strepsiades, he supposes, seeing Sparta close to Athens on the map, 
 imagines that the philosophers have brought it so near and begs them 
 to remove it further. Bentley's conjecture is supported by the 
 scholiast's explaining (ppovTi^ere by pLera^ovKeieade. 
 
 217. vr\ A£* — in accordance with Cobet's correction, connected 
 wdth what follows, instead of with ovx olbv re, which would naturally 
 have /xa Ala. ol|xw|€(r9' cipa — i.e. you will suffer from the Spartan 
 invasions, as the scholiast says; or it maybe simply a threat on the 
 speaker's part, * the worse for you.' 
 
 218. 4)€'p€ Tis -yap— so 342 and 370. Strepsiades now first catches 
 sight of Socrates, who is shown suspended in a basket ; in ridicule, it is 
 suggested, of the mechanism by which stage deities appeared. The 
 whole scene reminds one of Dicaeopolis calling on Euripides, Ac//. 
 403 sq. 
 
 219. avTos— so pupils and servants styled * the master.'

 221. |Ji€v ovv — * no, you call him ' ; p-ev ovu, ' nay, rather,' modifies 
 what has gone before, strengthening an affirmative or suggesting a 
 negative. 
 
94 THE CLOUDS [I. 222—

 225. dtpoparw— this particular gibe is recalled in Plat. Apol. 19 c. 
 By '7r€pi<j)povw Socrates means ' contemplate,' ' speculate on ' ; but 
 Strepsiades understands him to mean 'despise.' For this latter sense 
 see Thuc. i. 25, 4. The word takes either the accusative or genitive. 
 
 227. ci'irep — so. rovTO iroieis : if you do look down on the gods, you

 By 'suspending the intelligence' the philosopher raises it above 
 mere things of earth, and sets it free to range a boundless universe. 
 
 230. XciTTTJv — note the force of the predicate, ' in subtle admixture ' ;

 248. v6|xi<r|i' — ' current coin,' i.e. gods do not pass current with us. 
 Socrates means an accepted institution, as in Soph. Aiit. 296 ; but 
 Strepsiades understands actual coinage, and asks tw -ydp ojjlvut ; ' why, 
 what's your current medium for — swearing?' If the text be right, 
 o/jivvT is substituted for dyopd^ere or vo/xi^ere by a comic Trap virbvoLav, 
 and T(^ may be regarded as an instrumental dative, ofxuvuai rivd is the 
 construction for swearing by anyone. Besides this awkwardness of 
 construction, there is a confusion of ideas when the next line comes in : 
 people do not swear by coins. Blaydes therefore reads t<^ vofii^er ; and 
 suggests as possible r^ ydp XPV<^^^ j A"^'' — 5 For dative with vop.i^o}

 Athamas, the faithless husband of Nephele, was brought on the stage 
 by Sophocles, crowned with a chaplet, to be sacrificed to Zeus. 
 Strepsiades, as Rogers puts it, fears lest his connexion with the Clouds 
 (^yy7ej'^cr^ai raTs Ne0^\ats) is to end in the same way, and with no Hera- 
 cles to set him free again, as in the case of Athamas. oirws ^■x\ — ' do

 258. oUk — 'not so,' this is not our purpose; cf. VesJ>. 9, 77, 250

 no need to alter the text into Tuvras ravra. The sense is ' all this

 rogue ; TranrdXrjiJ.' oKov, Av. 430. So Ajax calls the wily Odysseus 
 dXrjfxa, Soph. Aj. 381, 390 : cf. AnL 320. 
 
 According to the scholiast, Socrates accompanies each word with 
 pantomimic action, rubbing some stones together, rattling them over the 
 victim's head, and pouring the dust over him like flour over a sacrifice. 
 
 261. '4\ drpejieC — cf. 743: Av. 1200, ?x drp^fias. Strepsiades is 
 beginning to kick under his initiation. There are three forms of the 
 adverb, drp^fxa, drpefxas and aTpe/j-ei. Here most manuscripts have 
 drpifjLas and R drpefxl, while most editors read drpefxei. ov \|/€V(r€i

 'Solennis librorum confusio inter iiraKo^eiv et viraKoveiv ' (Blaydes). 
 Dindorf however considers that iiraKOJjeiv is used rather of the gods 
 hearkening to prayers than of men merely listening. 
 
 264. to Seo-iroT* dva| — so Bdelycleon addresses Apollo ( VesJI>. 875); 
 and the servant of Trygaeus appeals to Zeus {Pac. 90). But Air and 
 Ether are the Zeus of Socrates, and he prays to them, as Euripides, his 
 brother infidel, invokes the Ether as one of his own divinities {Kan. 
 793). The editors cite the lines of Euripides (Fr. 836),

 Strepsiades was scarcely as yet a member of the band.

 which will not scan. Blaydes however prefers y-y] Kvvirjv, and shows 
 that the resolved form is admissible in anapaests; e.g. /SeXewi', Ves/>. 
 615. The KvvTj was mainly for country wear; of. Vesp. 445. Thus 
 Laertes wore a goat-skin Kvprj when working on the farm, Hom. Od. 
 xxiv. 231. In the city the Athenians went with heads uncovered. 
 
 269. iro\vTt|XT]TOi — a regular epithet of gods; cf. 293. Hence the 
 joke in Ac/i. 759, Trap' a/xe iroXvTifxaTos q.Tr€p toI deot. T(58' els 
 €iri8ei|iv — ' to show yourselves to this man.' Blaydes gives numerous 
 instances of similar construction with dyeiv, eXdeiu etc. from Herodotus; 
 and adds Eur. £/. 1236, is (j)avepav 6\piv ^alvovai ^poroiaiv. 
 
 270. clV K.T.X. — Socrates turns to each quarter of the heavens, 
 invoking the clouds, like deities, to appear from wherever they may be. 
 cir* *OXv(nrov...xi'OvopXTJTOKri — the summit of the Thessalian Olympus, 
 the abode of the epic gods, is covered with perpetual snow. It is 
 roughly speaking north of Athens. 
 
 271. *I2K€avov...KTjirots — the gardens of the Hesperides may be 
 meant, Ocean ' the father of waters,' and of clouds, being especially the 
 main sea in the far west beyond Atlas; or KijiroL may be used for 
 'realm.' Wrare — the regular word with xopoi;s; Dem. Afn'd. 530 
 § 15 etc. vufi<}>aus — for their delight, or in their honour. The 
 suggested reading vv/ncpai, whether vocative or nominative, is very 
 prosaic. 
 
 272. Ne^Xov irpox^oais — Aesch. SuppL 1025, "SelXov irpoxoas ae^cvfiev 
 vfxvois. NetXoi; follows vdanov, or irpoxoo-h vdaruu together, the two 
 words forming one idea. The poetic dative of place seems undoubtedly 
 admissiljle in anapaests; XeiTrft 5' iwL as the scholiast says, Meineke 
 however inserts ^v. For irpoxoais Dindorf reads irpoxoas dependent on 
 dpvT€(Tde, on the authority of Suidas (on dpiireadai). But it seems very 
 clumsy to talk of 'drawing the outflow of a river in golden pitchers.' 
 Xpvore'ais is here an anapaest, according to Dindorf and Blaydes, but it 
 may be a dissyllable ; see Lid. and Scott for the license of u. dpv- 
 T€o-9€ — the Attic form. The word is, I think, used absolutely here, 'you 
 are drawing (water),' but Lid. and Scott, like Blaydes and Merry, take it 
 with vbaTwv as a partitive genitive; while Teuffel renders 'aus dem 
 Wasser.' The rhythm of the line is against this view. irpoxoitriv 
 — this form seems undoubtedly right, as the best manuscripts have 
 Trpox^oKTiv, and irpSxovs is declined like vovs. The 3rd declension dative 
 TTpoxovaiv, which is read by some here and Eur. /o/i 435, may be due to 
 the false analogy o( x°^'^^^ (from x^^^^ X<'<^s)- 
 
 273. MaiwTiv X^nvtiv — the sea of Azov, due north-east of Athens.

 montory in Ionia, east from Athens. 
 
 274. viraKova-an — 'hearken to my call,' appear, in answer to my 
 prayer. Here vir- has the better manuscript authority. Dindorf, 
 Meineke and others however prefer iiraKovcraTe, which is simply 
 'hearken.' The question is whether vwaKoijaaTe is an appropriate word 
 to address to goddesses; see note on 263. viraKovo) is certainly used in 
 entreaties to superiors, e.g. Ach. 405, where Dicaeopolls is supplicating 
 Euripides ; see also line 360. rots icpoto-t xapciorai — ' pleased with

 such invocations; e.g. Thcsm, 978, koI lla.i'a...&i'TOfxai...iTiy€\dcrai raTs 
 
 Parodos of the Chorus.

 seen in the background, but the chorus does not fully come on till 328. 
 
 275. aevaoi — the epithet of waves and streams, and so of clouds 
 which are drawn from them. 
 
 276. ap6(ii)p.€v — cf. dpdrjTe, 266. <|>vio-iv — 'form,' as in 503: so 
 Fesp. 107 1 ; and often in tragedy. The accusative 'of i-espect' follows 
 (pavepal. cvcLytitov — apparently 'bright,' a word not found else- 
 where; see I.id. and Scott for evdyi^s and evciyrjs. Here the a must be 
 long, as the ending of the line corresponds to evauSpov yciu, 300. Merry 
 considers it the Doric form of evrjyrjTou [ijyeiadai) ' easily drawn.' 
 Blaydes reads evdxv'oi', 'loud-sounding.' 
 
 280. iva — for oirov, according to the scholiast, ' where resting, we 
 look,' etc.; but 'that,' according to Blaydes, who says we should 
 otherwise have odev. The following verb d(popJ)fj.e9a proves nothing, as 
 it may be either indicative or subjunctive.

 285. ofifia ■ydp — the sun is shining brightly, and the mists leave the

 tops. For 6'(JL)Jia alOe'pos, 'the eye of heaven,' cf. Soph. AnL 104: 
 Eur. /J>A. T. 194, icpas oixy^ ai)7as aXtos. So the noun is it/ctos oixixa 
 [ib. 110), 60^aX|u6s, ^\e<papov. dKaiiarov — an epithet of the un- 
 varying, and so unwearying powers of nature: Horn. //. xviii. 484, ij^Xiov 
 T oLKOLfxavTa : thus Addison, 
 
 * The unwearied sun, from day to day, 
 Does his Creator's power display.' 
 289. dBavdras iSt'as — the genitive depends on airoaeLaafxevai, 'from 
 our immortal form.' If the dative be retained, it must be taken as 
 instrumental with iiriddbfxeda, 'in our immortal forms.' But the sense

 For ISi'as 'form,' cf. Av. 1000: the Clouds are now about to appear in 
 human shape.

 292. ppovTijs — thunder, the scholiast says, was imitated by pouring 
 pebbles from an ajxcpopevs into a bronze caldron. The machine was 
 called ^pourehv or ijxf'^ou. 
 
 296. ov \Lr\ <rK«\j/€i. K.T.X. — for this construction, expressing a 
 strong prohibition, cf. Goodwin § 297 sq. and App. II. It is common in 
 Aristophanes, cf. 367, 505 : Fes/>. 397 : Pau. 202. It is to be noted that 
 the manuscripts mostly have the subjunctive, as in the present passage. 
 
 Tpv"Yo8aifJLOV€S — a sort of compound of rpv^ {Tpi>yi{}Soi) and KaKoSai- 
 /jioves, ' those wretched comedians,' who try to raise a laugh by low and 
 unseemly jokes. 
 
 297. doiSais — 'with' or 'for' songs. Either construction with 
 Kipeirai is strange, ' mira locutio' as Blaydes says. He accordingly reads 
 delSfip, and suggests as possible do(56i', or doioau, in agreement with dewp. 
 
I. 312] NOTES loi 
 
 Meineke and others adopt (Tfj.rji'o^ doidijs, with dewv dependent = ' raised 
 by goddesses.' But 'a swarm of song' is an almost impossible phrase, 
 even if it could mean a singing swarm, while 'a swarm of goddesses' is 
 natural and simple. 
 
 300. Xiirapav — Xiwapai, 'bright,' was the cherished epithet of 
 Athens, since Pindar first bestowed the title: Ac/i. 640, Tjvpero ttolv hv 
 5ia Tas \Lirapds, a<pvu3v Tifirjv Trcpidxpas, 'a compliment for anchovies,' 
 as being smooth and shiny. The accusatives are governed by o-^pb- 
 fievai. 
 
 302. ov K.T.X. — the pride and glory of Athens was her devotion to 
 the gods, who were honoured there above all other cities with mysteries 
 and offerings, and temples and feasts. crePas dppiJTwv Upwv — 
 ' where is reverence of mystic rites,' not to be divulged to common ears.

 The great Dionysia, 'the delight of Bromius' or Bacchus, were held in

 314 — 509. The Clouds having come al the Master's call amaze and 
 terrify Strepsiades. He is taught the meaning of their changing forms, 
 and learns that they alone are deities. In the end he surrenders himself 
 to their teaching.

 of the Clouds has raised Strepsiades into an airy realm, /xerewpa <f>poveZ 
 Tjdr/, as the scholiast says. For ravra 'therefore,' cf. 335, 353 etc. 
 
 320. XcTTToXo'yeiv — ' refine.' Blaydes points out that we should 
 expect the middle form, on the analogy of (rejxvoKoyeiadaiy iiiKpoKoydcdai 
 etc., cf. 1496. The active form XewToXoyeiv is however found in Lucian, 
 and Aristophanes has KaraXeirToXoyrjaei, Rait. 828. Kairvov— of

 light-headed, empty spendthrifts are called Kairvol.

 a little idea or maxim, sententiola. pv^aa' suggests either testing 
 (pricking a bubble) or provoking. The editors cite Cic. c/e or. ii. 38,

 325. irpos T-qv ndpvt]0' — 'the theatre being open to the sky, 
 Socrates was able to direct the gaze of Strepsiades towards Mount 
 Parnes, on the Boeotian frontier, and to pretend that the Clouds were 
 to be seen ' coming softly down ' the hill side, ' trailing aslant through 
 the hollows or the thickets,' on their way to the theatre. It may be 
 doubted whether Parnes was actually visible to the spectators. Probably 
 the Acropolis hid the view' (Merry). 'f\hy\ -ydp opoS — * fingit haec 
 Aristophanes,' is Hermann's comment, i.e. the Clouds are not really 
 seen till they come on by the usual entrance for the chorus. 
 
 324. avxat— predicative, 'there they come in troops, through the 
 valleys and the woodlands, sideways there.' Photius has preserved a 
 fragment from an edition of this play in which the Clouds are represented 
 as irritated by their discourteous reception : 
 
 es TTiv Hdpurfd^ opyKrdetaai cf)povbai Kara t7]v AvKa^-qTTOv, 
 i.e. they sail over Lycabettus, which was close on the north-east of 
 Athens, on their way back to Parnes.

 'know that I can't see them' (cf. 209). irapct x-qv €l'cro8ov — by

 adopted, but the reading is not quite satisfactory. Blaydes has vvu

 modifies fxoXis, like fxdxp ovtcos, aTrXws ovtojs etc. 'just, merely.' 
 
 327. 61 (1.11 MK-<is KoXoKvvrats — 'unless your eyes are bleared with 
 pumpkins': P/uL 581, KpopiKois XTj/iats XTj/xQivTes. Hence Lucian has 
 X^'Tpais \r]fx.wvT€S, and such expressions became proverbial; see quota- 
 tions in Blaydes. 
 
 328. KaT€'xov<ri — 'fill,' 'cover'; cf. 572. 
 
 331. p6<rKov<ri — 'keep'; often, but not necessarily, used in a 
 contemptuous sense. <ro<|>i<rTds — what they were we are told, 
 seers, doctors, dithyrambic poets. We may render the word 'professors' 
 for the nonce. 
 
 332. 0ovpiO(xdvT€is— one Lampo is especially meant. He was a 
 seer, and was sent by Pericles in 444 in charge of a colony to the site of 
 the ancient Sybaris, which received the name of Thurii. The scholiast 
 on Av. 521 adds, Irux^ 5^ Kal ttjs iv irpvTavdtp (TiT-qaews. larpo-

 haired fellows with onyx rings,' or 'with rings to their very nails,' or 
 'with rings and well-trimmed nails.' It would seem that the prophets 
 and physicians posed as exquisites in dress and appointments. 
 
 333. kvkXiwv t6 k.t.X. — the 'tune-twisters of cyclic choruses' are 
 dithyrambic poets. They too competed at the festivals, and their 
 choruses were furnished by the choregi. KafxirTav and Ka/xwri are often 
 used of 'turns and twists' in speech or verse; cf. 970. The dithyrambic 
 bards were ' fed by the Clouds,' for their themes were air and sky and 
 storms, as Strepsiades goes on to show: cf. too Av. 1387: Fac. 830, 
 where the souls of dithyrambic poets are said to ' flutter in the 
 air.' 
 
 avSpas [i€T£«po<|>£vaKas — in apposition with the accusative before. 
 The 'air-humbugs' are here the poets, as the following context plainly

 obscuring the sun's beams. 
 
 336. ir\oKdp.ous 6' — 'locks of hundred-headed Typho' ; clouds torn 
 by whirlwinds. irptip-aivovo-as — connected with irpiqdw, Trp-qaTrjp, 
 and formed like rerpeyuatVot (294). 
 
 337. acpias Siepas — these adjectives agree with P€<f>e\as implied : 
 'then they called them {iiroiovv) airy, liquid.' Reisig reads depias dupds 
 *of the moist atmosphere,' making depia a substantive: Meineke and 
 others have depiovs diepovs, in agreement with olojuous. Yajivj/ovs — 
 ' hooked fowls which swim in air,' i.e. they write of such, or actually 
 called the clouds such names. 
 
 338. dvT* avTwv — ' in return for these ' the Clouds rewarded them 
 with .sumptuous fare. Karcirivov — 'swallowed' generally. The 
 poets were entertained by men of wealth, and in particular by the 
 choregHS while the chorus w-as training. 
 
 339. K€o-Tpav — the Kecrrpa was a costly fish, and the banquet is a 
 refined and dainty one. The Athenians generally were not great meat- 
 caters but preferred fish and game. T€(Jtaxos is properly used of 
 fish, not meat: £(/. 283, aprou Kai Kpeas Kai r^fiaxos. Ki\r]\a,v —

 Prodicus was a native of Ceos and one of the most respected of the 
 Sophists. To him is due the well-known allegory of the Choice of 
 Hercules (Xen. iMcni. ii. i, 21). He wrote trfpl opdorrfros ouofiaTuv, 
 distinguishing between apparent synonyms. This subtlety lent itself

 T<3 |i4v...o-ol St — commentators follow the scholiast in calling the

 P£KK€(r€'XTiv€ — ' pre- Adamite booby,' if we may so say. The first

no THE CLOUDS [1- 399— 
 
 the Egyptian king learned, by experimenting with two infants, to be the 
 oldest word for bread (Hdt. ii. 2); it may however be simply chosen for 
 its contemptuous sound. The second half suggests irpoaiXrjvoi, which 
 the Arcadians claimed to be.

 403. drap K.T.X. — the line stands in the text as it is generally

 'what is the lightning?' and eS ab Xiyeiv (paivei should be printed as a 
 parenthesis. If it were td yap (which would not scan) there would be 
 no doubt. For €u <ru Teuffel and Blaydes read ci5 ye.

 passage, with sundry variations, which may be due to quoting from 
 memory or, as Teuffel suggests, to his having the former edition of the 
 Clouds before him. 
 
 TO TaXaiirwpov — indifference to bodily needs was especially practised 
 I and enjoined on his disciples by Socrates, whose own hardiness was 
 proverbial. 
 
 417. Kal ■YV[jLva<rtwv — this must mean the abuse of yvfxudffia, if the 
 reading be right. Diogenes however has Kadrjcpaylai 'gluttony.' 
 Naber suggests Kal ^aXaveicov, which agrees with 991 and 1054. Other 
 suggestions are Kayvfiuaalas and Kal av/nTrocricjov, which last is adopted 
 by Blaydes. 
 
 dvoiiTwv — 'follies' i.e. sensual excess. 
 
 419. irpdTTwv — in public matters and political life. 
 
 420. ovvcKa -ye — ^'for' i.e. so far as concerns: Ar/i. 958, evdat/uLo- 
 vrj<T€LS avKO(pai'TU)v 7' ovveKa. Bergler and other editors quote a list of 
 qualities like these as claimed by a would-be pupil in Aristophon's 
 Pythagorist, Athen. vi. 238 c (34). 
 
 421. Tpv<rLJ3iov—' wearing out life,' i.e. hardy- 
 OviiPpeiriSeiirvov — 'sage-dining'; Xctxara iiova Tpooyovarfs evreXij

 Xa^wu X^Kidou 'lu' eTndenrvrjs. 
 
 422. d|X€\€i — practically an adverb going with what follows, ' with 
 absolute confidence I would ' etc. ; cf. 488. Most editors however put 
 a comma after d/xAet (or OappCjv), making dfj.^Xei a real imperative, 
 ' have no concern, I would ' etc. 
 
 cirixaXKCveiv irape'xoip.* dv — ' I would let myself be hammered on,' 
 like iron on an anvil, i.e. I could stand any amount of moulding and 
 fashioning. The construction with irap^x^ without ifiavrdu is not 
 uncommon; e.g. Soph. Aj. 1146, iraretv -rrapdxe t(^ diXouri: Plat. 
 Charm. 176B, i)v eTradeiv irapixv^ 'LwKpdreL. 
 
112 THE CLOUDS [1- 423— 
 
 423. d'Wo Ti — you ^^ill then acknowledge no gods but what we 
 do? The construction is understood in two ways: (i) aXko n is taken 
 u.?, = nonne? sc. aXXo ri 5^ra (7roi?j<rc£S if) ov uo/xieTs etc.: so Teuffel, and 
 most editors: (2) the order is ov vofiiels dWo ti ovdev deov (or ovd^v oOv 
 vofxiels). This is the view taken by Dindorf, who urges that the 
 Platonic interrogative dWo n {tj) is ' alienissimum quum omnino ab 
 Aristophane turn praesertim ab hoc loco.' Blaydes indeed suggests 
 that the phrase is a mannerism intentionally abscribed to Socrates here, 
 but this seems fanciful; it is rather a mannerism of Plato's. But for 
 the balance of authority in favour of (i) I should accept Dindorfs view. 
 It involves however a harsh order of words, unlike the beautiful 
 clearness of Aristophanes. 
 
 ovSiv is better in any case than ovSeva because of the following 
 direp, and is necessary with (2).

 the subject of deipeiv. Dr Merry thus represents the clause, ' I hand

 'an awkward customer' (Merry).

 other editors. It is not free from objections, as [xaTrvT], ' cibi genus,' 
 (Mart. xiii. 92, 2, inter (juadrupedes niattya prima lepus), was a 
 Macedonian word, not yet introduced in Athens. Besides, daintiness 
 is not a quality which Strepsiades would claim, but rather indifference 
 to dainties. The word may however merely mean 'a trencher-scraper,' 
 one who can look out for himself. 
 
 The manuscript reading is fxaTioXoixos, which is explained by the 
 scholiast as /xiKpoXoyos or /.idraia ftovXevo/xevos Kai \ox^f, and by the old

 wisdom, for philosophers haunted the doors of the rich, but the rich 
 did not frequent the doors of the wise. 
 
 470. dvaKoivovo-0ai — 'to communicate,' with or without accusative 
 expressed, and with dative of the person: so the active, 197. cs

 472. TTpd-yp-aTa — 'causes': the accusative follows dyaKoii>ov<T6aL,

 however takes irpdyfiara etc. as dei^endenl on avp-fiovKivcroixivovs. 
 dvTi7pa<J>ds — strictly the defendant's ' plea ' or rejoinder, but often used

 The word is also used of throwing things to a dog, ' when I drop you a

 to do?' while 'pro indicativo perverse accipit senex rusticus.' liut 
 more probably Socrates is simply asking if whipping does his pupil 
 good, or perhaps if it is likely to get the teacher into trouble.

 497. t6t vvv — Socrates is satisfied of his pupil's fitness, 6r else 
 thinks further questions useless. He bids him take off his cloak, to 
 prepare for philosophic training, or as one about to be initiated (schol.). 
 Strepsiades however fears a beating. This cloak is somehow missing 
 afterwards, see 856 and 1498, and Strepsiades loses his shoes as well,

 520 — 562. The chorus facing the spectators, the leader addresses 
 the audience in the poet's name. This part of the Parabasis belongs to 
 the second edition of the Clouds. The play had not deserved to fail, 
 says the poet, for it was the best and most careful of his works. He 
 hopes now for a better verdict, even as his earlier plays have met with 
 welcome and encouragement. 
 
 This is free from vulgarity and coarseness ; it is full of fresh ideas. 
 Old adversaries are not attacked again ; while it is the poet's rivals who 
 imitate his former comedies, and now assail Hyperbolus as he en- 
 countered Cleon. 
 
 The Parabasis of the Ifasps, exhibited in 422, has a still further 
 vindication of the merits of the Clouds, with complaints of unappreciative 
 critics, and many of the verses in the Wasps are repeated in the Pface, 
 which appeared in 421.

 540. Tous ({>aXaKpovs — Aristophanes was bald, and his rivals 
 apparently made a jest of it. Eupolis at any rate, according to the 
 scholiast on 554, claimed to have 'helped the bald man to write his 
 Knights ' ; and we find in the Peace a good-humoured vindication of the 
 credit which Aristophanes had won for the bald-headed tribe {Pac.

 Aristophanes vindicates the dignity and refinement of his own plays in 
 contrast to the buftoonery of others in a somewhat similar passage in 
 the Wasps, 55—66. 
 
 Mr Green notes that ' in his later plays, Aristophanes certainly did 
 much of what he here blames in the other comic writers. He seems to 
 have started with an idea of reforming the public taste, which he found 
 a task impossil)Ie, and so had to give in.' 
 
 541. 6 Xc'ywv TOLirt] — i.e. in the dialogue, as opposed to the choral

 a pohtical downfall. 
 
 We find the poet again in the Wasps (62) disclaiming a further 
 attack on Cleon ; but he scarcely kept his word, though he did not

 Hyperbolus and his mother. Aristophanes complains that it was an

 421, two years after the Clouds, which shows that we have here a 
 passage belonging to the second Clouds. Trap€£XKvo-€v — ets rh dea-

 first C/ouds, as Cleon is spoken of as alive in line 591; he fell at 
 Amphipolis in 422. We have no record of portents happening at the 
 time of Cleon's appointment ; some storm may be meant, which hid the

 An eclipse certainly seems meant by e^eXtiirc, which is the regular 
 word ; as in Thuc. ii. 28, 6 ijXios e'|At7re. 6 8' tjXios k.t.X. may 
 however only mean that the sun was obscured by storms. Of course 
 the two eclipses could not occur close together.

 588. irpoo-tivat — 'belongs to,' is a constant quality. The legend

 agrees with other odes beginning in this way. Thus the scholiast 
 quotes from Terpander d/xcpi fioi dvuKra eKurrjfioXov as the beginning of 
 an ode ; and we have the beginnings of the Homeric hymns, d/i0t fxoi

 the moon to the Athenians. She does them good service both in 
 private and in public, but they disregard her, and bring on her 
 complaints from the other gods from the confusion of the calendar. 
 
 608. <|>pa(rai — with the following xa^P^i-v, 'to bid you hail'; Pint. 
 322, xatpf'^' '^■,"<^s 7r/30(ra7opei'ei»'. 
 
 609. irpftJra jie'v — followed by eira without 5e, a common form, 
 with a slight anacoluthon in the construction. In 612 it is followed by 
 dXXa T*, with a similar anacoluthon. tois |v[i|idxois — who would 
 be present at the great Dionysia {Ach. 502).

 8pax|ATiv — cognate accusative, sc. uxpeXovaa. 
 
 614. <r€Xi]vaias — cr€\i]i>air]s is read in most manuscripts, but creX-q- 
 vaia, like 'Adrjvaia, is the old Attic form. Some manuscripts have 
 (T€\i]va7ov, but the substantive is much more in place. 
 
 615. vjids 8* OVK d-ytiv— nine or ten years before Meton the as- 
 tronomer had endeavoured to improve the system by which the solar 
 and lunar year were harmonised, all religious festivals being regulate*.! 
 by the lunar year. The details are clearly summarised in Dr Merr)'s 
 edition of the Clouds ; and further particulars may be found in Diet. 
 Ant. cahndariiim. It does not appear that Meton's changes were 
 formally adopted by the state, but some modifications of the calendar 
 were plainly introduced about this time. There is a somewhat similar 
 complaint implied, Pac. 414. 
 
 616. Kv8oi8oirdv — avvrapo-TTeiv, ciTro roP \-i'5ot/.to? (schol.) : Pac.

 618. \|/€V(r0«<ri Sti-rrvov — Soph. Aj. 178, iydpwv •^evcrdelcra. 
 
 619. Kara Xo-yov — 'there was an error in excess at the end of the 
 cycle of li days — a verj- appreciable quantity. The gods might well 
 grumble, as this would be sufficient to disarrange the whole calendar. 
 We might illustrate it by supposing Shrove Tuesday pushed forward to 
 Ash Wednesday or vice versa ' (Merry). 
 
 620. <rTp€pXovT€ — i.e. examining slaves by torture, and conducting 
 judicial business when the courts ought to be closed.

 632. TJ t6v...t| — most manuscripts have a second toi^ before Zapirt]- 
 Soua. The metre requires its omission ; and the irregularity thus 
 caused is justified by such lines as 104, 1418, 1465. Meineke reads 
 iJTot Me/xvov', but iJToi...i], according to Blaydes, is not found in

 one returning from a sacred mission (/'////. 20) ; or as a mark of office, 
 see Dem. A/eic/. 524 § 32. How he lost it we do not know. It has 
 been suggested that he had his chaplet blown off by a gust of wind, 
 which the Clouds here claim to have caused. Or the meaning may be 
 that he was not rewarded with a crown of honour on his return from 
 Delphi. 
 
 627. The chorus files off, and Socrates comes out of the Contem- 
 platory, complaining of the hopeless dulness of his pupil: Strepsiades 
 is still inside. Socrates swears jxa ti^v avairvoTJv /c.r.X., appealing to 
 his gods, the powers of nature ; see 264 and 424. For the run of 
 the verse cf. Av. 194, /xa yfju, fxa irayiSas, (xa vecpeXas, /xa diKTva. 
 
 629. airopov — helpless, shiftless, without a iropos. Like most 
 Greek adjectives it is usually active in force when used of a person; 
 passive however Eur. Bacch. 800, airbpi^ ye rifSe <Tvfnr€Tr\€y/j.€da ^eVy

126 THE CLOUDS [1. 630— 
 
 630. (TKaXaOvpiiaTt — 'scraps, trifling quibbles,' formed from <JKa-

 from aKa\{eLKd-ev/xa) and ddvp/xa-aTiou, 'a toy, trifle.'

 633. ^let — = €^i.di. Blaydes takes it as indicative and prints a 
 question, 'will you come out?' tov do-KdvTi]v — i.e. the aKifj-irovs 
 of 254 and 709. 
 
 635. dvvcras ti — cf. 506. l8ov — 'there,' taking the place of 
 
 a pupil. 
 
 638. eiroiv — not verses but words, their right use and form, which 
 Protagoras and Prodicus insisted on. Their opOoeweia is illustrated 
 658 sq. 
 
 639. ^vttYxos — £ccL 823 : this word is always attached to past 
 tenses. It never occurs in tragedy, vewari being used {JVe7a Phryni- 
 chiis, p. 70). 
 
 640. •irap€K0ir7]v — 'I was defrauded': E(j. 807, oiW ayaddv 
 irapeKdiTTOv : id. 859. StxoiviKW must be explained as instrumental, 
 ' by means of, in the matter of, a two-pint measure.' Blaydes adopts 
 dixoifiKov, a regular construction ; but the dative can be justified by 
 such passages as Thuc. iv. 73, 4, t^ §e\TlaTi^ rod ottXitikov p\a<pdrjuaL. 
 
 644. ovSev Xe'-yeis — 'nonsense'; 781: F^j/. 75 etc. irfpiSou... 
 tl ptij — Strepsiades proposes to bet that the half-gallon is ' a four- 
 measure.' In English we bet that a thing is so and so ; in Greek antl 
 Latin the layer of the wager engages to forfeit the stake unless he prove 
 right: of. Ac/i. 772, irepidov fji.ot. irepl Ovfiariddv aXQv, ai ixi} k.t.X. irepi 
 is used of the stake, as in Eq. 791. In Latin we have the analogous 
 use of we with sponsionem facere, pignus dare, e.g. Cic. Off. iii. 19, 77, 
 cum is sponsionem fecisset ni vir bonus esset : see Lewis and Short, iii, 
 III B. For irepCSov cf. Horn. //. xxiii. 485, rpiiroSos Treptdw/xedou -qk 
 Xe^rjTos, where the stake is expressed by the genitive of price. 
 
 645. TCTpd|i€Tpov. . .i](twKT€ov — the half-eK'rei^s was a ' four-measure,' 
 as it contained 4 xoiVt^es. Strepsiades as usual takes the most common 
 and material view of what is proposed to him. 
 
 646. €S KopaKtts, ws — 'confound it, how clownish you are': only a 
 comma should follow is KopaKas : cf. 133. 
 
 647. Tttxv "y' dv— ironical, 'you look like a promising student of 
 rhythms,' a more refined subject than metres : so Dem. Meic/. 581

 is adopted by many editors.

 648. irpos TaX<|>iTa — cf. 176, 'to get my living.' Sliepsiades may 
 also refer to his dealings with the d\0ira/iot/36s (640). 
 
 649. irpwTov |Ji€V — there is no answering 5e' or eira, as Socrates is 
 interrupted. clvat is loosely constructed, ' tamquam praecessisset 
 StSdloyo-t' (Klaydes). kojxxJ/ov—' refined, neat.' The word is 
 sometimes used in a good sense, sometimes in contempt. Here the 
 meaning is that Strepsiades would learn to speak in company with 
 grace and proper modulation. In Plato's Republic (400 b) there is a 
 discussion on the rhythms which should be chosen as tending to 
 propriety of life and speech. 
 
 651. KttT* evoirXiov — sc. pvdixbv, what is the rhythm of the war

 653. Tis dXXos — Strepsiades as usual misunderstands, and points 
 first one finger then another at Socrates in a vulgar derisive way. 
 dvTi — 'instead of,' i.e. but, except; implying comparison and pre- 
 ference: cf. note on ViesJ>. 210. 
 
 654. irpo Tov — cf. 5. There seems something wrong about this 
 line ; jj.iv has nothing to answer it, and the sentence does not run 
 clearly. 'Versus fortasse interpolatus ' (Blaydes). 
 
 655' wt^pe— the penultimate is short, as in Vesp. 1504, 1514.

 Meineke suggests tov ddiKWTepov.

 Protagoras' classification of nouns the earliest attempt at Greek grammar. 
 
 661. dXcKxpvwv — after the mention of this singular 'quadruped' 
 Bentley suspects that two lines are lost, containing a fresh (jueslion 
 from Socrates and a list of female creatures in answer, also ending with 
 dXeKTpvwv. This form served for either gender, as we see from 
 Fragments 80 and 237 : Blaydes also cites Phrynichus p. 228, X^e 5^ 
 d\€KTpv^v Kal eiri 6r]\eos Kai iwl dppevos, ws ol TraXaioi. 
 
 662. irdo-xeis — nearly =:7roie£S, ' what folly you let yourself utter.'

 to avoid the concurrence of five short syllables. Blaydes read /cat TavTo 
 for Kara ravro. 
 
 666. dXcKTpvaivav — on the analogy of Xewv Xiaiva, depdwiov depd- 
 iraivay and various proper names. This form never came into use ; 
 dXeKTopis is quoted from Aristotle. 
 
 669. 8iaX<j>iTw(r(i> K.T.X. — as we might say, ' I'll fill your sack with 
 flour,' a suitable offer from a farmer ; cf. 1 146. 
 
128 THE CLOUDS [1. 670— 
 
 670. I80V |id\' av0is— so Pac. 5 etc. rqv KapSoirov appcva 
 
 K.T.X. — the point is tliat KapSovos being a feminine word has no business 
 with a masculine ending in os. 
 
 674. TavTov Suvarai — 'is equivalent'; qua masculine termination 
 they stand on the same footing. <roi — for you, = ' you make it 
 equivalent,' so vfuu, 688. 
 
 675. ov8* -qv — Strepsiades apparently understands that Cleonymus 
 'is identical with a kneading-trough'; and replies that on the contrary 
 he never even had one. 
 
 676. d\\* €v Qviia — Cleonymus, says the scholiast, is here satirised 
 as a needy parasite ; so a mortar was big enough for any kneading he 
 wanted at home. 
 
 677. TO XoiTTOv — 'henceforth'; conversely tw dWov xpbvov is 
 nearly always 'hitherto.' 
 
 6S0. €K€ivo 8' TJv av — 'then we should have had.' Blaydes, 
 considering that the sense of the passage ought to be ' we should, or 
 shall have,' suggests €Kiivo Tap' riv 'then it seems it is,' or oi'tw 7' av 
 UT]. KXewvvjiT] — suggesting the man's cowardice and effeminacy. 
 
 So Horace calls a person in contempt Pediatia {Sat. i. 8, 39); and 
 Cicero calls young Qwx'xo Jiliola Curionis {Ep. Ait. i. 14, 5). 
 
 681. ^Ti Sc -yc — various alterations are given for the unmetrical ert 
 76 of the manuscripts : of these ev rt gives excellent sense, if not too 
 much of a change, eu tl is 'one definite thing,' eV ye tl 'any one

 no men propria in. 
 
 684. KXtira-yopa — a Thessalian poetess, according to the scholiast 
 on Vesp. 1246, but the scholiast on Lys. 1225 calls her a Laconian. 
 
 686. Philoxenus is spoken of with contempt, Vesp. 84 ; and 
 Amynias is satirised repeatedly in the same play as an effeminate 
 sycophant. Melesias is perhaps the father of Thucydides, the opponent 
 of Pericles. 
 
 688. vjiiv — 'with you'; 674. 
 
 690. 'AjAvvia — thus the vocative termination is feminine. There 
 is of course a gibe at the man's womanish character. 
 
 692. TjTis ov — ' inasmuch as she does not.' cxstl^ ixt] is the usual 
 construction when the meaning is ' whoever ' ; but here, though a 
 general notion may be implied, a definite statement is made about a 
 definite person.

 a question, as shown by quotations in Blaydes. Here it seems no

 iravTis t(T/x€v, you are not learning what everybody knows, but some- 
 thing rare. Mr Gieen takes it with ri fiavddvu); 'to what end am I 
 learning?' 'To no end indeed.' Possibly it may refer to ixavdauo) 
 only, 'Learning? you're learning nothing.' tL 8pc3 ; — conjunctive, 
 
 ' what am I to do.' 
 
 696. €v6a8* — on the (TKifxiroviy which seems to have been essential ; 
 see 254 : Strepsiades has sufficient reason already to regard it with 
 apprehension (634). 
 
 698. ovK 2<rTt irapd ravr' dXXa — seemingly a catchword of the

 700 — 705. The chorus encourage Strepsiades ' to think out things

 701. irvKV«<ras — 'condensing yourself,' i.e. concentrating your

 cloak (497), on entering. At any rate bare feet were philosophical ; 
 cf. 103. 
 
 721. <)>povpas qiSwv— the sound of (ppovdos suggests this phrase. 
 The sentry proverbially 'sings on his watch' to keep himself awake, 
 like the watcher in Aesch. A^. 16. Strepsiades 'means that instead 
 of sleeping he cries out as he is bitten by the Kdpeis ' (Merry). The 
 genitive <ppovpas is generally explained on the analogy of pvkt6<!, 
 ecrir^pas, like aidpias (371).

 723. ovTOS rC iroicis; — Socrates comes back, to see about his 
 pupil's progress. In 732 he does just the same; and, as Teuffel 
 points out, this scene is full of such inconsistencies and repetitions. 
 Teuffel therefore assigns verses 700 — 706 and 731 — 739 to the fust 
 edition of the Cloxids-, 691—699, 707 — 730 and 740— 745 to the second.

 moving' is the primary sense of aioXos. ciripdXoi k.t.X. — 'invest 
 me with — an aptitude for fleecing.'

 of irvKvucra^ (/oO* 'the old man is to loosen and spread out his 
 thoughts over various matters : not to keep them too close and concen- 
 trated' (Green). 
 
 The predicate Xe-irTTJv shows that the thought is to spread like a 
 thin and subtle film. 'Cutting your thought fine' is another rendering; 
 while Merry prefers 'checking the play of your subtle thought,' like 
 irvKvwa-as, and lilaydos takes a similar view. 
 
 741. Kara (iiKpo'v — 'little by little': the disciple is to consider 
 details and particulars. For Tr€pi<}>p6v€i cf. 225.

 repetition of the itU-a in 702. 
 
 744. Ti]V •yv(up,T]v...avT6 — a disputed sentence, the cpiestion being 
 about the accusatives. Reiske cuts the knot by reading ttJ yvdb/xr}, and 
 many editors approve. Still on the whole I think Dindorf's view the 
 best, that avrd kuI i^vyudpiaou is put for Kal ^vyibOpiaov avrd. There are 
 instances of such an order, e.g. Pac. 417: and this view avoids 
 altering tt]^ yvu/xrjv k'lvt](tov, which seems certainly right. 'Stir up 
 your mind' is natural, but 'stir it up,' start it, 'in your mind' (i.e. 
 t5 vb-qixa, your idea), is not so pro])able. For suggested alterations 
 see the critical note. 
 
 ^vY<o0pio-ov — from ^vyoidpov, in the sense of a bar, according to 
 Pollux, —K\el<sov 'bar it in,' secure it. Another traditional explanation 
 is that ^vyudpov is the beam of a l)alance, like ^vyou, giving the meaning 
 'weigh it.' 
 
 746. ScDKpar^Siov — cf. 80 and 222. 
 
 748. totC; — 'what is it?': ^o Pac. 826, Wi. vvv Karenri ixoi. TP. 
 t6 tI ; So the article is used with iroios when something said before 
 requires exjilanatitjn. 
 
 749. ©eTTaXtjv — Thessaly was the country of witches.

 The crest-case, as Mr Green shows, was most likely round (and flat).

132 THE CLOUDS [1. 754— 
 
 754. o-cXiiVT] — no article; so 626. The moon regulated the calendar,

 here reads ro] ri b-q ; with some manuscript authority. 
 
 757. TrpoPaXw — see 489 ; owx pj-oblem. 
 
 ■ 75^* 'Ypa,4>oi.TO — ' if a suit were entered against you.' This is a 
 true and reasonable passive; but 7pd0o/iai is usually middle, 'to indict.' 
 Hence Blaydes' note, 'corrigendum existimabam TrevTeTdXauTOP ris 8lKt}i>, 
 sed obstat dalivus aoi, dicebant enim ypdcpeadai rtva (non tivl) bU-qv.' 
 We may add that, though a ypa(f)ri could be called a diKr) in a general 
 sense, ypd(po/xai blKrjv is not a customary phrase, and could not be used 
 of bringing a civil action (Xa7xa»'«»' biK-qp), which is meant here. 
 759. oirws av — cf. 776. 
 
 761. ^r\ vvv — a repetition of the advice in 740, as Mr Green rightly 
 notes. What Socrates fears is narrowness and self-centred thought, and 
 he enjoins a freer and wider range. 
 
 762. diroxaXti — compare what Socrates says, 227 sq. 
 
 763. Xiv68€Tov...Tou TToSos — 'tied to a thread by the foot': Hom.

 770. oiroTfi ■YP<i4*°*''^° — after the plaintiff had made the deposits in 
 a civil action, it was the duty of the magistrate before whom the case 
 came to placard the declaration on a tablet for the inspection of the 
 public (Diet. Ant. dike). I do not understand the middle ypdcpoiTO in 
 this passage. Surely the ypajxixarevs was the person who actually made 
 the entry on the tablet, 6 ypd<pu>p ra Xeyd/xeva ev tois btKais as the 
 scholiast says, and the verb would be ypa<pu} (or iyy pd(f>u), not ypdcpofxai. 
 ypdcpofxai is to get written, or to write for one's own use. The technical 
 ypdipofxai Tiva, ' I indict a man,' is literally ' I get his name entered ' for 
 trial, and is properly used of the prosecutor. Thus Dem. Dionys. 1284,

 805 — 12. * While Strepsiades is gone after his son, the Chorus 
 congratulate Socrates on the advantages he will get out ot" his dupe, 
 advising him to make hay while the sun shines' (Green). The ode 
 may have been consistent with the first Clouds \ see note on 723. It is 
 scarcely in agreement with what goes before as we now have it, for 
 Strepsiades was not bidden by Socrates to fetch his son, but simply to 
 take himself off, nor was he an eager scholar, but a rejected dunce. 
 
 810. dvSpds — the genitive is probably governed by airokaxpeLS, but it 
 might be absolute. CKircirXTj-yiievov — 'excited,' rather than 'amazed' 
 or ' bewildered ' : so in Thuc. v. 66, r, ^eT\ayr](Tav ' were excited ' : id. vii.

 811. -yvovs — 'seeing (this),' i.e. seizing the occasion. diroXa-

 you can. The proper Attic future is \d\}/ofiai, as shown Pac. 885, 
 €K\d\l/eTai, but the active form might stand in a chorus. The scholiast 
 however gives diroXexf/eis, ' you will skin': while a few manuscripts have 
 dTro\av(rei^, which suggests Hermann's diroXavcrais, as the future is drro- 
 Xaijao/xai : see Al'eru Phrynichus p. 393 and 409.

 swears by Mist, in imitation of the master, cf. 627. 
 
 815. dXX' ^o-0i*...Kiovas — the traditional explanation is that Megacles 
 had wasted his fortune on his horses, only the pillars of his hall attesting 
 his former magnihcence. But is there any evidence of this? In lines 
 70 and 124 Megacles is the splendid noble; and the meaning may be 
 'get what you can from your uncle's pillars,' i.e. in his palace or his 
 stable-yard.

 835. viro rr\s <j)€i8wXCas — this gibe comes in well, as Strepsiades is 
 preaching economy. The dirty ways of the philosophers who affected 
 hardiness are often jeered at. Socrates in particular was noted for 
 avoiding the baths: Av. 1282, €k6/j.oi}v, iirebuiv, ippvirojv, eauKpariov : 
 ib. 1554, fiXoi'Tos 2a;/cpa,T77S. 
 
 838. wo-Trep T€0v€WTos — like washing a corpse. KaraXoci — 
 
 *you bathe away,' spend on your bathing. Blaydes suspects that the 
 active KaraXoets 'wash away, waste,' should be read, as baths were not 
 yet an extravagant luxury. Besides the accusative following the middle 
 looks suspicious. For the forms of Xoi/w see New P/uynic/ius, p. 275. 
 All the manuscripts here have KaraXoiei, and possibly that form should 
 be retained, as it is quite possible to consider the diphthong short like 
 the 01 in ttoiw and rotoOros. As a rule those persons in which the ending 
 is preceded by a short connecting vowel e or are supplied as if from 
 Xow, and contract the of the stem with the connecting vowel. Thus

 troops from Attica, and charged the sum to 'needful expenditure': see 
 Plutarch, Per. ch. 22 and 23: cf. Thuc. ii. 21, i. One scholiast refers 
 the story to a charge of peculation in connivance with Phidias. 
 ci-TTcSXco-a — for Pericles' dvrjXuiffa. 
 
 861. iri9o)i€vos — after you have complied with my wishes, by going

 cf. x^^P^^i Ataxa'pt's etc. 
 
 866. €v y — applauding and encouraging his son who is now ready 
 to enter the school : cf. euge tuum et belle, Pers. i. 49. 
 
 869. Kpc|J.a6p(5v — instead of /xadrjfxdTujv, referring to 218 and 229, 
 and giving occasion for the pun which follows. The long a in Kpefiadpwv 
 troubles the commentators; who to avoid it suggest Kai tQv ye, or 
 KpefMaarpCou, or outtw Tpi^wv. 
 
 TpL^iav — 'versed in'; Vesp. 1429, rpi^oov iTnnKrjs. In the next line 
 Pheidippides means an old cloak, which Socrates would look like if he 
 were hung up. The suggestion of hanging Socrates calls forth the 
 rebuke in line 871. 
 
 872. I80V — cf. 818. Socrates is shocked at the boy's broad and 
 boorish pronunciation of the diphthong. 
 
 873. 8i6ppvT|K6oriv — -diaKexv OCT I scho\.; wide and gaping. 
 
 875. k\t]o-iv — 'summoning,' implying the act of plaintiff and

 making the adversary's arguments seem x<^^''ot and dcrdevels, or perhaps 
 imposing on the jurors with such arguments.

 888. hiKaC — merely 'pleas,' arguments, according to Blaydes, but 
 just arguments may be meant: so 1339- 
 
 Socrates and Strepsiades now leave the stage, and Pheidippides 
 remains with the chorus. A choral ode would naturally follow ; but 
 the poet left this part incomplete when remodelling the play. The 
 omission is thus noted by the scholiast, /iAos 5e tov xopoO ov Kelrai,

 XOPOT is added as the remains of a stage direction. 
 
 889 — 1 104. The just and unjust Arguments now appear on the stage, 
 represented by the actors who had lately personified Socrates and 
 Strepsiades. They are dressed, according to the scholiast, like fighting 
 cocks, and are brought on in wicker cages. However this may have 
 been, the diKatos or KpeirTi^v X670S bears the part of straightforward 
 justice, and old-fashioned ways; while the ddiKos or rJTTwu \6yo$ per- 
 sonifies modern immorality, with all its tricks of sophistry and rhetoric. 
 
 This part of the play belongs to the second Clcuds.

 The Ki6api<TT7]s took up the education of Athenian boys at the age 
 of thirteen, and taught them music and poetry. Before that they were 
 under a ypa/ifxariaTris. No mention is here made of this; possibly, 
 as Teuffel suggests, because there was no great difference between old 
 and modern ways. 
 
 965. Tovs Kwp.TJTas — the boys of the same Kuifxij, ward or quarter,

 Dr Merry's note, evreiveadai cpcovriv is 'to raise the voice.'

 K€4>dXaiov — i.e. the bulb, root: Vesp. 679, aKopoSov KecpaXrjv. Dr 
 Blaydes reads kuI (pvWeiof instead of KecpdXaiou rijs, in order to get rid 
 of the article. But surely the stalk of a radish is not much of a delicacy. 
 
 982. T(ov irpeo-pvTtpwv dp"ird^€iv — 'to snatch away from'; 'seniori-

 The AiiroXia (AuTrdXta or At7r6Xeia) was an annual festival to Zeus the

 995. oTt TTjs alSovs K.T.X. — 'because you are to represent (form

 reading and rendering are adopted by most editors. A few manuscripts 
 instead of dpaTrXdrTeiv have dfaTrXTjaeLV, which might mean 'to com- 
 plete.' Some editors, however, reading o ri fiiWei, give it the sense 
 'to defile' lit. 'infect'; but with this meaning the verb requires a 
 genitive e.g. KUKias. A tempting reading is Ti...pL^\\€i...d<pai'i^eii', 
 which gives a good sense, but is mere conjecture. 
 
 996. 'laircTov — i.e. apxaiov, /xoipov : cf. 929. lapetus was the 
 brother of Cronos. 
 
 997. |xvTi<riKaKTi<rai T-qv ijXiKCav — 'quid haec significent nescio' is 
 Dr Blaydes' comment: and certainly 'to reproach (your father) with the 
 age from which you were reared as a chick' seems a little unintelligible. 
 Is it to reproach him with his old age now, as some editors take it, or 
 rather to remind him reproachfully of his earlier manhood, as e^ rjs 
 seems to suggest, /j-vrjaiKaKija-ai also pointing to some past grudge? 
 
 Further, the construction is questionable. fivrjaiKaKeiv, when it does 
 not stand alone, as it often does, takes dative of the person and genitive 
 of the thing, and may have a cognate (neuter) accusative, e.g. Dem. 
 de Cor. 258 § 96, 7r6XX' hv exovrwv /xvTjaiKaKTjaai Orj^alots tCjv irpax- 
 6ivTU}v. But this does not justify taking ijXLKiap as cognate or deter- 
 minant accusative. Blaydes therefore proposes ttjs ^Xi/vi'aj. Of course 
 M'e might take ijXiKiav after KaXecravra, 'calling his age (that of) 
 lapetus,' but such an order of words would be scarcely tolerable. I 
 suspect that ppTjcrtKaKijaai is wrong and that sometiiing like pLuijaTiv 
 (idaai) ttjs i]\iKlas 'to forget the early days' should be restored.

 Uemophon and Pericles were jeered at as Owoeis rivk'i ko.1 diraidfVToi. 
 Hence the joke on vieaiv resembling ucriV. For the Attic forms of vl6s 
 see N'e7u Phrynichus p. 142. 
 
 tt^tts — as if from cka: cf. 341. KaXoii<rt is future, as it is 
 
 probably in 452. p\iTO|id|x[iav — 'a silly baby': from pXirou a

 a bright clear skin. 
 
 1003. <rTft)|xvXXa)v — Pan. 13 10, in a choral song. The middle 
 is generally used. TpiPoXeKTpdireX' — from rpi^oXoi, a burr (Lys. 
 576) or a caltrop, and e/crpdTreXos, 'out of the way,' strange. aKXrjpa 
 Kat diralSevTa is the scholiast's explanation of the first part of the word. 
 Mr Green gives the meaning of the whole as 'far-fetched jokes, out-of- 
 the-way subtleties and witticisms,' such as the specimen talk in Ec/. 
 77-80. 
 
 1004. €Xk6|j.€vos — probably into court, irpa-yixaT^ov meaning 'some 
 paltry lawsuit'; but it may be simply 'worried, hustled,' as in Fesp. 
 793, Kg.d' cIXkov avTbv, where the idea of 'sc. in ius' is absurd: 
 cf. 12 18. Y^''°"XP- — fiom y\i(Txp6s greedy, or obstinate, duriXoy- 
 and (e^) iwiTpiTTo^ 'rascally'; a quarrel with some greedy rogue, 
 
 1005. 'AKaStjiitiav — the celebrated yv/xvaaiov on the banks of the 
 Cephissus, where Plato afterwards taught. It was adorned by Cimon 
 with trees and walks and fountains. |iopiais — the olive trees 
 sacred to Athene. diro6pe'|€i — running for exercise or practice is 
 meant, not running away ; so the compound with dia is probably 
 better (Blaydes).

 but such a construction is unknown elsewhere; though irpds tivl top vovv 
 ^X^iu is found, e.g. Plat. Protag. 324 A. It has been suggested to take 
 irpos adverbially 'besides'; while Blaydes prefers /cat tovtoktiv. 
 
 1013. Xajxirpdv — 'bright and clear,' rightly I think preferred by 
 Blaydes to XevKriv (albam), which in Aristophanes would suggest 
 effeminate or unhealthy paleness, e.g. Ran. 1092. 
 
 1019. \|;TJ<j>i(rjJia [laKpov — this is what you will get from your

 some editors: cf. Ac/i. 847, Si/fcDc (ere) avaTr\r]<rei. It may however be

 1036. The adiKos \670s responds in iambic tetrameters, the metre 
 appropriated in Aristophanes to the more ignoble character. Thus, in 
 the Ff'ogs Euripides maintains his case in iambics (906—967), Avhile 
 Aeschylus rejoins in anapaests (1006 — 1070), the metre of the dUaios 
 X670S. €7rvi"Ydp.T]v — Blaydes suggests TrdXai ye Trpiyo/nai...KdTn0v/j.(i, 
 as being the usual construction when the thing is still going on ; 
 e.g. l^esp. 317, TrjKOfjLai irdXai: line 4 is of course different. rd 
 <rir\dyxva — 'heart,' as we say; /\an. 1006, rot (nrXdyxv' dyavaKret 
 
 1038. fi€V— ' displicet hoc ixh,' says Dr Blaydes. It has nothing

 that good speaking was recognized on every hand as essential in 
 Athenian public life. It was the cruel and overbearing Cleon who 
 inveighed against it (Thuc. iii 38, 4), because, as Bacon says, 'he 
 
1. iios] NOTES 147

148 THE CLOUDS [1. 1105-^ 
 
 1 105. Socrates and Strepsiades reappear in a scene which no doubt 
 belonged to the first Clouds. It might come in after line 881, but goes 
 most awkwardly with all that now intervenes. 
 
 1 106. 8i8do-K(o— interrogative subjunctive. 
 
 I 107. |1€}J.VT]0-* OTTWS — Cf. 887. 
 
 1 108. <rTO|icS(r€is — 'sharpen, put an edge to,' also implying sharp 
 speaking : Soph. Oed. Col. 795, to cov (TToixa iroWrju '^x^^ ffTofxuaiv : 
 Eur. Stippl. 1206, o^mToixov /xdxatpcti'. Mr Green notes that the same 
 metaphor was used in Hebrew, ' the edge of the sword ' being literally 
 ' the mouth of the sword.' He prefers Gesenius' explanation ' that the 
 figure is taken from the teeth, and the idea of biting' to Liddell and 
 Scott's view, that crrbfia is the foremost part, front, and so of weapons 
 the point or edge. 
 
 €iri [i€v 0a.T€pa — ' on the one side ' i.e. one jaw. 
 
 1109. olov — * fit for.' otos with the dative alone is unusual. In 
 Thuc. vi. 12, 2, olov ffwrepu} ^ovXevcraadai, an infinitive follows, and 
 there Classen adopts the emendation v^wripovs: in Plat. Eutkyd. 272 A, 
 we have Xeyeti' . . . \67oi;s diovs els to. dLKaarrjpia, but there it is easy to 
 understand XeyovcL or the like : so Soph. P/u'l. 273, ola (pujri Sva-fMopcp 
 paKt] irpodevres. If the text be sound it is, I suppose, equivalent to ottws 
 (TTOfJubaeis avTov {toiovtov) olov {a roj^i-diae is) 5iKi5iois. SiKiSiois — 
 petty suits, 'suitlets'; £</. 347: Fa/>. 511. 
 
 avTov stands as it does because of the additional erepav : so 
 yvibcreade tt]v dWrjv avTov Trovrjpiav, Isocr. i8, 52: cf. note on 905. 
 
 1 1x0. TO, \iiil<a irpa-yfJiaTa — affairs of stale, as well as important 
 trials. 
 
 1 113. cSxpov |JL€V oSv, ol|xai yt — so most editors, giving the line as 
 an ' aside ' to Pheidippides, who certainly had shown distaste enough 
 for the philosophical complexion (103, 120). Dindorf however follows 
 R and V in reading ^ywye for oliial ye, when of course Strepsiades is 
 the speaker. He too knew the disfiguring effects of learning (718, 
 (ppovdj) -xpoid), but preferred sacrificing his son's appearance to paying 
 his debts; see 1171. 
 
 1 1 14. x^P*^''"*' v^v — ^o Socrates and Pheidippides, who now leave 
 the stage. The chorus then turn to Strepsiades, warning him that his 
 
1. ii3o] NOTES 149 
 
 experiment may turn out badly. Here at any rate they have no 
 sympathy with the aSi/cos X670S. 
 
 1 1 15 — 1 130. Part of a parabasis consisting of a second epin-lwina 
 (575). ii^ which the Clouds warn the judges to secure their favour by 
 deciding for them. 
 
 1 115. Tovs Kpirds — the subject of the subordinate verb is made 
 the object of the main verb; as in 145 and 1148. The construction is 
 common enough, but this is a peculiarly ugly instance of it, and Blaydes 
 not unnaturally says 'annon tois kpltoTs? cf. Av. iioi, 
 
 TOis KpiraXs elireTp tl ^ov\6/x€ada ttjs vlktjs iripi., 
 Q(T dyad', Tjv Kpivoiffiv -rjinds, Trdaip avroXs ddjcro/xev, 
 
 cf. £ccl. 1 154.' The judges in comedy were five in nunil^er, in tragedy 
 
 ten. 
 
 1 1 16. €K Ttov 8iKa£«v — 'from (in accordance with) the rights of the 
 case,' or quasi-adverbial, as Av. 1435, e/c rod dLKaiov { = diKal(jos), which 
 Cobet would read here. 
 
 1 1 17. V€av — cf. Hes. o/>. 462, Bepeoi 8^ veoi/xei'r] ov a' aTrari^aei. 
 €v wp^ — in due season, i.e. in spring. 
 
 1 1 19. Kapirov— especially corn; 282: Eccl. 14, crods re Kapirou 
 ^UKxiov re m/xaros Tr\r]p€LS. 
 
 1 1 20. dyav eirop.ppiav — taken together by Blaydes and Kriiger 
 {Grammar § 50. 8, 19) : Thuc. i. 122, 4, ovk dWo tl (pepovaav ij 
 dvTiKpvs dovXeiau, 'downright slavery': Dem. Fa/s. leg. 385 § 141, 
 y€yopei>...dp5r]v oXedpos. No similar instance is however given of dyap 
 without the article ; and it may go with irie^eip. 
 
 1 125. <r<j)6v8dvais — with hail like sling-stones, as the scholiast 
 explains. Trai.7]o-0|i€V — so Lys. 459 : TvirTrjau}, infr. 1444. 
 
 1 1 26. ir\iv0€uovT* — sc. the ris in 1121. 
 
 1 127. Ke'pajJLOv — 'the tiling': 'i'huc. iv. 48, 2, i^aXXop rw Kepap-u: 
 d/jLireXos is used in the same collective way i/k 100, 2. 
 
 1 128. ^vyycvwv tis—tls t] (piXojp is read by Blaydes (with Cobet) 
 for 17 TLOP (piXojp, which without tls would be a most exceptional 
 partitive genitive, not to be justified by e.g. 104. 
 
 1 129. Tqv vvKTa irdo-av — as the bride was brought liome in 
 procession at night, this would spoil the whole alTair. 
 
 1 130. €V Al-yuTrTW — where there was no rain, Hdt. iii. 10: or, 
 according to another view, even in Egypt, though it was a distant 
 country and overrun with thieves. 
 
I50 THE CLOUDS [1. 1131 
 
 1 131. Strepsiades reappears on the stage, with a bag of meal, 
 which he intends for Socrates in accordance with his promise (669). 
 He is counting up the days which remain till his interest must be paid. 
 
 TTcixTTTT] — sc. (pdluovTos, i.e. the 25th or 26th, according as the month 
 contained 29 or 30 days. This is counting backwards from the last of 
 the month, as was commonly done in its third decade : see Diet. Ant. 
 i. 338, Calendarium : Lid. and Scott, /xt^p. 
 
 1 1 34. (ivi] Kttl ve'a — 'the old and new': so the last day of the 
 lunar month was called by Solon, because at the beginning of the day 
 the moon was waning, but before the close had begun to wax again. 
 See Lid. and Scott, ^vos. 
 
 1 135. 'irds...ots— the plural may be joined with such words as ttSs, 
 eVacros, oaris, which have a collective force. 
 
 1 136. GtCs |xoi, Trp\)Tav€ta — lit. depositing court-fees, i.e. instituting 
 proceedings, against me; cf. ri8o, and see Diet. Ant. i. 629, <///Cv. 
 
 1 1 37. Kdp.ov |A€Tpi* ttTTtt — somc such correction as this is required 
 to connect the sentence : e/.wO re /xirpia (Green) is good and near the 
 
 MSS. 
 
 1 1 38. |Ji^v XaPe — (^tiot XojSe Naber), a correction which commends 
 itself. The old man offers to pay a part down, if the rest may stand 
 over and something be remitted. How could fxr] Xd^rjs he called ' a 
 just and reasonable offer ' ? 
 
 1 141. 8iKd<r€<r0ai — most manuscripts have -aaadai, as in 35 (see 
 note). 
 
 1 145. irai, r\\i.i — A'a//. 37, iraidiov, irai, rj/mi, irail Av. 57, etc. 
 Except in this phrase ijixl is mostly found in the imperfect, 17, Kal 
 (Hom.), riv 5' e7c6, 17 5' 6'j, in Attic dialogue. Instead of a servant 
 Socrates himself appears with his pupil. Teuffel has what seems to me 
 a strange notion, that aaird^oixai was a new-fashioned greeting, x^^P^ 
 being the older style. This is founded on Plut. 322, 
 
 Xaipeiu fJLev vfxd^ earii', dpopes brjixbraL, 
 
 dpxo-'iov TJdri irpoaayopeveLV koX aairphv 
 
 daird^ofxai 5', k.t.X. 
 There however the speaker is greeting friends who were ground down 
 
1. ii63] NOTES

 with poverty; and the meaning surely is that to bid them xa'P"" was 
 a silly old form and destitute of meaning in their case : of. Ach. 83-3, 
 
 AT. Kol xar/)e ttqWo,. ME. aXK afx.lv ovk iinxd>pi.ov. 
 
 D. I wish you joy. M. It's not our country's fashion. 
 
 1 146. TovTOVi — the sack of meal {6v\aKos). Socrates, it is said, 
 though he refused fees, would accept presents of wine or eatables from 
 his disciples. 
 
 1 147. liriGavjid^tiv— 5wpo(s Tiixav (schol.), 'to compliment,' i.e. 
 reward ; so dav/xd^'u}. 
 
 1148. TOV vt0V...€\;<|)* — of. 115. 
 
 1 149. ov — some editors refer this to vi6u, others to the unjust \670s 
 which Socrates had lately 'brought on the stage' (886) or 'taken into ' 
 the Contemplatory. The run of the words is certainly in favour of 
 cKelvov being antecedent to ov, and this gives rather more point to the 
 rest of the line. 
 
 1 1 50. |i€nd9T]K€v — a comic exaggeration, says Teuffel, of the 
 Sophists' promises to teach all wisdom in a few lessons. diraio- 
 Xt] — cf. 728 ; and for the personification see note on 4-24. 
 
 1 153. Kciv irapoxri — -'even if you find a thousand appearing': some 
 manuscripts having Khv irapijaav, Blaydes reads k€l irapijaav. 
 
 1 154. pod<ro|xa£ rd'pa — from the /'(?A?//j- of Euripides. 'Strepsiades 
 in his wild delight breaks into tragic metre and dialect ' (Merry). 
 vir^pTOvov {yrjpvfjia) occurs Aesch. Etun. 569. 
 
 1 155. oPoXocTTaTai — usurers, lit. ' penny- weighers,' from /(rrdrai. 
 
 1 156. Tapxa-tct — 'the principal.' tokoi tokwv — 'compound 
 interest ' : Theophr. Char. 10, of the /xiKpoXoyos, deipos de /cat vireprjixe- 
 piav irpd^ai kol tokov tokov. dvaroKiafibs, says Teuffel, was not 
 forbidden at Athens, but regarded as mean. The line also suggests, 
 'may you perish, yourselves, your ancestors and your children's 
 children.' 
 
 1 1 58. otos = oTt T0I0S : cf. 699: and note on Vesp. 187, w ficapuj- 
 TUTOs iV virodidvKep, ' abominable wretch for having crept in there. 
 
 1 160. d,|i(f>-i]K£i — 'gleaming with two-edged tongue'; his tongue 
 cut both ways, for he had learned, we suppose, both arguments and 
 could maintain right or wrong. 
 
 1 161. irpoPoXos — TrpoardrTji, t€7xos, dacpdXeia (schol.) : in Xenophon 
 'a fortress.' Mr Green inclines to 'a spear, a lance in rest,' which is 
 the meaning in Herodotus. 
 
 1 163. Xtxravtas — Xvojf ras rod irarpos aula'; (scliol.): Soph. Fr. 765, 
 vdarof &yoi top vLKOixdxoLP kuI -rravaaplap : so \vaiiroPos, Find. 
 
152 THE CLOUDS [1. 1165- 
 
 1165. cJ Wkvov, w -irai — a parody of Euripides, Hec. 172, w TiKvov, 
 u 'iraL..J^€Xd' OLKUJV, die /xarepos avddv. This being a mother's cry, 
 possibly the words should be assigned to Strepsiades rather than to 
 Socrates. All this part is a cento or parody of tragedy. 
 
 1 168. w <{>iXos — Soph. Oc'(f. Col. 1698, c5 TTCLTep, (Jo (piXos. Socrates 
 now hands the son over to his father and retires from the stage. 
 
 1 1 70. lov loO— a shout of joy : * Strepsiades dances round his son, 
 shouting with delight to see the true philosophic pallor on his face' 
 (Merry). 
 
 1171. xpo"'«iv— 103, 1113. 
 
 1172. vvv \i.(v y' — 'now, at any rate.' irpwrov — with vOf, 
 nunc demum (Teuffel) : or 'to begin with,' as in 1044 (Blaydes). 
 ISeiv eX K.T.X. — *you have a repudiative and contradictious look' 
 (Merry). 
 
 1 173. TovTo TouTTixwpi-ov — 'that true Attic expression is in full 
 bloom upon you (which asks), What's that you say?': a look ready 
 to question and contradict ; cf. 207. 
 
 1 1 74. eiravBei — cf. 1024, to2s \6yois ^ireaTiu dvdos. Kal Sokeiv — 
 * to look injured when you're in the wrong.' For 0I8' on Blaydes 
 follows Bentley in reading e5 iroutv (sc. boKuv), ' to seem to be serving 
 a man when you are cheating him': Green suggests /cat KaKovpye7adai 
 5' tri. 
 
 1 176. 'Attikov pXeiros — iravovpyov or 5pip.v, says the scholiast: 
 sharp and keen, at any rate. 
 
 1 177. KairwXtoras — we should say 'since you destroyed me, do 
 you also save me ' (Green). So in comparisons, as Jowett says, in 
 Greek the word kul commonly adheres to the standard of comparison 
 {uiawep /cat), in English the corresponding word adheres to the person 
 or thing compared, e.g. Thuc. iv. 62, 3, Tifxwpia ovk (vrvx^^ on kuI 
 eOeXiri. 
 
 1 1 80. tls TJv "yc— 'yes, the day for which' etc. 'The ye in the 
 answer proves tis preferable to t/s in the line before ' (Green). For 
 Oijo-civ K.T.X. cf. 1 1 36. 
 
 1 181. The argument is that the summons would be void, not being 
 laid for one definite day. 
 
 1 183. €l HTJ...-y€VoiT* av — 'unless (it were the case that) the same 
 woman cou/d become ' etc. : ylvoiT dv being equivalent to yeveadai 
 8{>vaiTo. 
 
 1 185. Kal ni^v vevd^iLO-TaC "y'— 'anyhow it's the established custom.' 
 
 n86. o Tt voii — ' what it means,' 
 
1. I202] NOTES 
 
 153 
 
 XI 87. 6 26\a)v — sucli praises of Solon as an ideal legislator were a 
 stock thing in speeches : e.g. Deni. de Cor. 227 § 6, oOs (voywo^s) 6 rivets 
 ^1 d/)X7?s 26Xwj', ei/Voi/s wj' yyuTj' /cai 57)fiOTiK6s. 
 
 1 189. TT^v kXtJo-iv — the calling into court (780) i.e. the procedure 
 generally. Is Sv* iincpas k.t.X. —assuming that ' the old and new ' 
 are two days, the son lays down that ' the old ' {^ur)) nuist be the 30th 
 and therefore the pea the ist of the next month or vov^irivia. 
 
 1 190. 'i% yi Ti]v ^vT]v T€ KoX vcav — Cobct would read eh re ttjj' ^vrjv 
 Kol T7)p viav, to show that two distinct days are meant. 
 
 1 191. at 0€ar€is — at Kara^oXal tQu TrpVTavelwv (schol,), and the 
 actual beginning of the suit. 
 
 1 192. I'va 8tJ tL — sc. 7^j'0tT0 : Pac. 409, 'iva. 8t} ti tovto dparov ; 
 Ti]v ^VTjv irpoo-cGiiKev — why add in that 'back-day' (Merry): why not 
 have it all on the povfxrjvia (or v^a) ? Xv', u iJttXc — that the parties 
 sued might have a clear day in which to arrange a compromise. 
 
 1 193. tip-cp?- \^^^ irpoTcpov — ' one day sooner.' 
 
 1 194. diraWdTTOivTO — sc. tou 5iKdi;eadai, 'settle the matter, get rid 
 of it,' as in J^n: 293, irpayfj-drup re Kal fiaxCip : so Buttman explains 
 a.TraWayiji'ai Dem. Aleid. 563, and (XTnfjWay/nai, ib. 578. Teutifel cites 
 Plat. legg. 915 C, dTraWdrTW/rai Trpos dW^Xofs tQ}v eyKXrjfxdTiop : id. 
 936 E, diraWaTTiado} ttjs 5iK't]s. Meineke and others read diaWdrTOLVTo 
 ' might get reconciled.' 
 
 1 196. Then why do the magistrates expect the fees to be paid on 
 the 30th instead of waiting for the ist? 
 
 1 197. oLpxcif — as we say 'the authorities,' using abstract for 
 concrete. Strictly 17 dpxv — ol ev ttj cipxVf <i' dpxo.i = oi iv rah dpxo-is. 
 
 1195. irpoTc'vGai — lit. ' fore- eaters ' ; either rich men who secure 
 beforehand dainties in the market, or, according to Brunck, certain 
 officials who tasted the meat beforehand for sacrificial banquets. Tivdri% 
 occurs /'a<:. 1009, 1120: revdeia, Av. 1691 : derived from reVScj (lies. 
 (9/. 524). 
 
 1 199. v<j)€\oiaTO — a for v metri gratia: so ipyaaaiaTO, Av. 1 147 
 and Lys. 42 : Ecj. 662, yevoiad' etc. and trag. 
 
 1200. trpovTivQeva-av — 'they forestalled them by one day': con- 
 struction as in 1 193, and such phrases as Thuc. vii. 80, 4, irpoC>\a^e 
 TToXAw, 'got far ahead.' 
 
 1 201. £v 7€ — ' capital ! ' says Strepsiades in ecstasy; and then 
 turns to the audience in tones of exultation; cf. Lys. 12 17, vjxeU t'l 
 Kadijade; d^eXrepoi. — /\an. 989, d^eXrepiOTaToi KexTlf^res KadrjVTO.

 1 22 1. KaXovfiai — perhaps future, as in Vesp. 14 16, quoted above, 
 where too the word is used for summoning, like irpoaKaXovixai. Pasias 
 speaks in a loud voice, which Strepsiades hears and comes out. 
 
 1223. Tou xptjjjiaTOs; — so Fesp. 1417, Trpocr/caXoO/xat vjBpeios; cf. 22, 
 where the loan is mentioned. 
 
 1225. xj/apov — roan or iron-grey, from ;/'ctp, a starling. 
 
 1226. ov — 'when you all know me' etc.; the sense supplies the 
 antecedent. A noteworthy instance of such elliptic construction is 
 found Thuc. iv. 26, 3, advixiav irXelaTrjv 6 xp^fos Trapeix^v, oOs i^ovto 
 K.T.\.\ SO ii. 44, 2. 
 
 1228. |id Tov AC ov -ydp — to be taken together, as [xa in negation 
 must be connected with a negative expressed or implied. The sense is, 
 '(very likely) for' etc. 
 
 1232. ctirofjioo-at tovs 0£Ous — the power appealed to is in the 
 accusative; as in 246 and 1227 : Eq. 424, tovs deovs diru/xj^vu . 
 
 1233. ■n'ofous 0€ovs; — this is often a contemptuous question, 
 expecting no reply, as in 367 : still it does not lose its interrogative 
 form, and Pasias gives a literal answer: cf. 1377. 
 
 1234. TOV Aia — it was the Athenian custom to swear by three 
 gods, of whom Zeus was always one. Thus Socrates too has his three 
 deities to whom he appeals, 627. 
 
 1235. Kav TTpoo-KaTaBcCTiv y — 'yes, and I would give three obols

 as we learn from a fragment of Antiphanes. Another view is that

 Another reading makes the witness say ' I think he will pay you'; but 
 the witness is most likely a Kio(p6p irpbawKov. The compound with 
 airb means to pay what is due; so reddo, and our 'render.'

 whether he has literally been thrown from his chariot or is using tragic 
 metaphors.

 uncle Licymnius (Hom. //. ii. 661), which seems to have been the 
 subject of the play of Xenocles. We do not know how far the tragic 
 lines are parody, or if a chariot accident came in.

 then (as I thought) the only hoopoe,' 6,pa with the imperfect, usually -qv, 
 implying present recognition of an existing fact: see Goodwin § 39, 
 and my note on Vesp. 3. I am not sure that this is a case of the 
 idiom noted. The sense may be simply 'you were unlucky then' 
 (inference), as in 1476. 
 
 1272. kif.'ni<rov — lit. 'I was thrown out': so Vesp. 1427: Horn. //. 
 xxiii. 467 etc. The scholiast considers that xRVI^'^t^^'' is understood = 
 ' I was ruined.' ' I came to grief represents either meaning, as well as 
 the sense of 'failing, being rejected,' = explodi. 
 
 1273. dir* ovov Kaxaireo-wv — said to be a proverbial phrase for 
 stupid awkwardness, with a pun on dwo vov. 
 
 1276. Tov c'yK€'<|>a\ov — 'you seem to have a sort of concussion 
 of the brain'; due, Strepsiades seems to think, to his accident. 
 
 1277. TTpoa-KtKXTJo-eo-Gai — but for the following clause in the future, 
 one would incline to irpoaKeKXija-dai, the reading of R and V, which as 
 it is is adopted by Hermann, Green and Teufifel. It corresponds 
 closely to the line before; 'you look like a man with a crack on the 
 head,' 'you look like a man with a summons into court.'

 Dr Merry wittily renders : 
 
 'Pay me the interest that the money bears.' 
 'What sort of creature is it that it bears?'

 (Madv. § 42), sometimes with the article, sometimes without. 
 
 Amynias now goes oft, and Strepsiades returns indoors to his 
 interrupted banquet. 
 
 1303 — 20. The chonis, now openly siding with the Cause of right, 
 predict that Strepsiades will soon be sorry for the lessons of knavery 
 which his son has learned. 
 
 1303. irpa7|xdTwv Ipav <|)Xavp«v — cf. 1459. t^apOtis, besides 
 
 avoiding tautology, corresponds in scansion to the antistrophic i^rjru

 of a question asked by Trotos, no doubt with indignation and astonish- 
 ment, to which yet an answer is given : see note on 1233. 
 
 1338. €8i8a|d}iT]v — in its proper middle sense, ' I had you taught.' 
 jiCVTOi — 'indeed, in truth,' with an ironical intonation. In 1342 =

 1347. 'ir€iro£9€iv — most of the manuscripts have triiroLdfv, R has

 -ei{v) is the termination of the third person pluperfect, -77 that of the first 
 person : see New Phryuichus, p. 229.

 The middle with this meaning takes the dative; the active 'to rebuke' 
 the accusative. 
 
 1356. Tov Kpiov u>s eirexO-r] — ' the shearing of the ram ' : the accusa-

 leader held a spray of myrtle, and passed it to another guest to continue 
 in his turn : cf. Vesp. 1220 sq. 
 
 1366. e-yci ^dp — according to the text this is an indignant question 
 on the part of the son, who in the next line gives his reasons for not 
 thinking Aeschylus chief of poets. This arrangement is adopted by 
 most editors, but it is not quite satisfactory ; see critical note. Green 
 suggests that -rrpOxrov ev iroirjTois may.be 'above all other poets for 
 empty sound' etc.: so Merry. iyCj ydp k.t.X. seems genuine praise in 
 the father's mouth, so perhaps Hermann's transposition should be

 1368. opcxOeiv — Kiv-qdqvaL Kai rapaTTecrdai (schol.). In Homer the 
 word occurs once, //. xxiii. 30, where Leaf discusses the traditional 
 explanations, and inclines to connect it with opeyoiiai, meaning 'stretch- 
 ed themselves out ' in death. Theocritus, /d. xi. 43, uses it of the sea, 
 apparently connecting it with poxOeiv ' roar.' Here it may denote the 
 heart's beating or throbbing.

 was made: Dem. de C01'. 227 § 6, 6 Tidds e^ dpxv^ HoXcjv etc. 
 
 1423. TO Xoiirov — 'henceforward': cf. 676. 
 
 1426. d^U^iv — ' we remit, and grant them (the fathers) a free gift 
 of the beatings we have had'; i.e. we will start fair without retrospective 
 retaliation. I'his is plainly the sense; but it involves a harsh omission 
 of -rj/jids (iiTT* avTibv) before crvyKeKocpdai. Blaydes suggests that avrovs, 
 ijfxds or ai'Tol should be read for avTols : R has avrovs. 
 
 1429. xj/'r]<|>i<r}iaT* — cf. 1018: Av. 1038, \l/r](pi.a fxaroT u}\t]S, 'a bill- 
 hawker,' who comes round with his w^ares in the new republic. 
 
1 64 THE CLOUDS [I. 1433— 
 
 1433' """pos TttVTa — 990. cravTov ttot* — you will some day 
 
 have yourself to thank that your son won't let you beat him. 
 
 1436. €|iol KCKXavcrcrai — ' I shall have had my sufferings in vain.' 
 (tO 8* t-yxavwy — not 'you will die of laughing at me' (Merry), but ' you 
 will have had the laugh of me when you are dead'; the participle as 
 usual being the important word. For ^Yxaj^eti', 'to scoff at,' cf. Eq. 
 1313, e7Xa''e'7'ai TTj TToXet : Vesp. 'J2i, eyxacKeiu croi. T€0vtJ|€is — the 
 
 active form is right, as is shown by Aesch. J^. 1279, Tedvq^oixev : cf. 
 VesJ>. 654 : TedfTj^ofiai is late Greek. 
 
 1438. TOVTOKTi — •' these younger men,' the son and his fellows. 
 
 1440. diro -yap oXoii|xai — sc. if I don't listen (schol.): but is it not 
 rather deprecatory, 'no more, pray, for 'twill be the death of me' 
 (Green)? For the ttnesis cf. 792. 
 
 1441. Kal (Jtiiv K.T.X. — i.e. apparently, you will find some comfort 
 for your recent beating when you hear what I mean to do. Bergler 
 however takes iraGwv d k.t.X. to mean 'if you yield again to my argu- 
 ments, as you have already.' 
 
 1443. TviTTijo-o) — the regular Attic future of tvitto), meaning ' to 
 strike' : ' I will wound' is irara^u) or iraiau). For uxxirep Kal see note on 
 1177. 
 
 1444. (xci^ov KttKov — the father's common sense and human feeling 
 are at length revolted by this further step in philosophical teaching, and 
 he turns upon his son in righteous wrath. We have here a caricature of 
 Euripides, who made Orestes excuse himself for matricide on the 
 ground that he was less closely related to his mother than to his father 
 (Or. 552). Mr Green points out that the same plea is urged by Apollo 
 in Aesch. Eu?n. 658 — 666. t£ 8* is answered by tI 5' 6.\\o below. 
 
 1449. Is TO pdpaOpov — E(j. 1362, es to ^dpadpov ^/jL^aXQ: Ran. 
 514 etc. 
 
 1452. TttVTi 8t' vjjids — after his burst of rage Strepsiades turns to 
 the Clouds, and appeals to them in expostulation for leading him astray. 
 
 1453. dva0€£s — AiK 546, a.vaOd'i aoi ifxavrbv: Thuc. viii. 82, i, to. 
 irpdy/xaTa iravTa dperideaav. 
 
 1454. [itv ovv — cf. 71. 
 
 1455. crTp^\|/as — a pun on his name Strepsiades: cf. 434, arpeij/o- 
 diKijaai. 
 
 1 45 7. cirT]p€T£ — 42 : imperf. ' kept egging on' (Merry). 
 
 1466. |Ji€T* 6(iov 'X9wv — Hermann suggests /xereXOup : as /Jt.eTipxofj.ai, 
 from the idea of pursuing, means prosecuting or visiting w ith vengeance. 
 
 1467. dXX* ouK dv — cf 871. 
 
1. i48i] NOTES 165 
 
 1468. iraTpwov Aia — a tragic line, as is shown by the long a in 
 ■rraTpipov, and the title of the god. Apollo, not Zeus, was the special 
 Athenian Trarpc^os, but Zei)s irarpi^os is often appealed to by the 
 characters in tragedies. 
 
 1469. I80W -yc — cf. 818 : and for dpxaios 984, 1357. 
 1471. 8tvos — see 828. 
 
 1473. 8id TOUTovl Tov 81VOV — 'because of that confounded dinus' 
 (Blaydes) : he means the whirl or vortex about which Socrates has taught 
 him. TovTovl does not necessarily imply actual presence; see 1427, and 
 note on 83. But the word divos suggests another meaning, and in the 
 next line Strepsiades suddenly sees its personification in an earthen pot, 
 and vents his scorn upon it, literally turning his deity to clay. 
 
 1474. x^"*"?^"^" — cf. Ves/>. 6 1 S, TOV (TOV divov, a wine-]ar. Dindorf, 
 Kock and Meineke reject this line, which they consider an interpolation 
 due to taking tovtov'l of something actually there. It seems however 
 intended for the sake of the pun, and also as showing the old man's 
 muddle-headedness, which is one of his strong points, e.g. 2^6 and 645. 
 
 1475. <|)\Tivd<j)a — 'twaddle, babble'; Eq. 664, i<p\rivd(pa. Phei- 
 dippides turns from his father and leaves the scene. 
 
 1476 — 1510. Strepsiades, repenting of his folly and enraged against 
 philosophy and philosophers, attacks and burns the school. This scene 
 was added in the second edition of the play. 
 
 1476. oi|ioi irapavoCas — for gen. cf. 925. ws...dpa — here cer- 
 tainly of past time, see 1271. 
 
 1477. c^ePaXXov — i.e. ' was for casting out.' 
 
 1478. (5 <|>tX' 'EpjXT] — he turns to a bust of Hermes standing near 
 the house, and asks for counsel and advice. 
 
 1480. €Hov K.T.X. — gen. absol. d8o\€<rxf<J — 'idle prating': 
 Plat. Farm. 135 D, dta ttjs 5o/foiy(777s...d5o\e(rxt«s: CraL 401 B, fiereiopo- 
 Xoyoi Kal ddoXeo-xai- rivis, the stock word of contempt for philosophers. 
 
 1481. clV .avTovs — 'whether I am to prosecute them by indictment' ; 
 the accusative depending on both verb and participle, as with vikoLv 
 X^yojf : Vesp. 907, ttjs ypacpijs rjv eypa'^dp.r]u tovtovL. 
 
i66 THE CLOUDS [1. 1482 
 
 1482. SitoKcCBw— interrogative aorist, in form like dfxvuadeif, 1323. 
 
 1483. op6ws irapatvcis— after putting his ear to the statue's lips, to 
 hear the god's decision. 8iKoppa({>6iv — A v. 1435 : so pairTW in the 
 sense of devising or concocting. 
 
 1489. €|ipdXT)s — Ach. 510, KavTols WoaeiOwv e/xfidXoi rds oiKias. 
 
 1492. ctXa^ovcs — for all their proud theories and impious boasts; 
 cf. 102. low — a disciple rushes out of the house as the flames catch it. 
 
 1496. SiaXcirToXo'YoOp.at — 'I am discoursing subtly (chopping 
 logic) with the beam.s of your house' (Blaydes): cf. 320. Strepsiades 
 is now introducing the house-beams to a subtle element (Green). 
 
 1498. OoljiciTiov — see 497 and 856. 
 
 1502. ovTOS — Socrates himself is at length alarmed and comes out. 
 
 1503. aepoParw — the master's own words, 225. 
 
 1506. t£ -ydp jxa06vT€s — this is the best supported reading. Some 
 manuscripts have /xaddvr e's, as in P/ui. 899, v^pi^eiu els ^fi'. The dual 
 would refer to Socrates and Chaerephon only ; but the plural is better, 
 as all the disciples are meant. They are a godless lot, and deserve to 
 be included in the common ruin. Some editors read iraddures or 
 iradbvT e's: see 340 and 402. 
 
 1507. Ti^v 28pav — eTTi tLvos ox^^Tat Kal ttcDs Kal did tL /xeveL (schol.) : 
 cf. Hdt. vii. 37, 6 t]\los iKXiiruu ttju iK rod ovpavov eSprjv dcpavrjs rjv : 
 Eur. Iph. T. 193, dXXd|as 5' l^ '^dpas upov [xeT^^oKev 6fxjna"A\ios. We 
 have rds odovs of the moon in 171 and 584. 
 
 1508. 8((i)K£ — assigned by Meineke and others to the chorus. 
 R and V prefix 'Epfx(rjs), from 1478, as if the god himself led the attack. 
 The words are spoken to the slave, but meant for everyone. 
 
 •Mr Grote {History of Greece, part ii. chap. 37, ad fin.) is probably 
 right in suggesting that Aristophanes took this idea from the actual 
 circumstances attending the subversion of the Pythagorean order in 
 Croton, where their school was set on fire, and very many perished 
 in the flames, among whom, according to one tradition, was the tuvThs, 
 the great master himself (Rogers). 
 
 1509. A line most damaging to Socrates, as Hermann points out, 
 coming thus at the end of the play when the poet spoke his real 
 convictions, and leaving its sting in the minds of the spectators. 
 
 1 5 10. TO Y€ TTJ}Jicpov— ' for the day.' Meineke adopts (from 
 Moeris) eXvai for T)yXv. No doubt rb ye rrj/xepov etvai is a good prose 
 phrase; e.g. Plat. Crat. 273 c, to fih T-qfiepov ehai: ib. 396 D, rh 
 uvu etvai etc. But there is not sufficient reason to alter the text ; and 
 besides, the pronoun is needed; cf. Thesm. 1227, ir^TraiaraL ixeTpluisrjfxiv.
