Economics -- Greece -- History; Thesis (Ph. D.)
Footnote 957:
400A-E, 394D, arguing that economic demand might make a man’s wisdom
more valuable than another’s house.
Footnote 958:
399E.
Footnote 959:
Cf. 399E, where Eristratos defines πλοῦτος as τὰ χρήματα πολλὰ
κεκτῆσθαι.
Footnote 960:
393A, 393D-394A; cf. above, pp. 24 ff. and notes for Plato and others.
Footnote 961:
394D-E, 402E.
Footnote 962:
393E, 396E-397E, 403E, the insistence upon ability to use, so common
in Plato, Xenophon, and Ruskin.
Footnote 963:
394D-E, which reads like a passage from the New Testament.
Footnote 964:
397E.
Footnote 965:
396C: ἂν μέν τι ἕχῃς, ἄξιός του, ἐὰν δὲ μή, οὐδενός. Cf. _The Simple
Life_: “He who has nothing is nothing.” Cf. Eurip. fr. 328, Danae
(Nauck): κακὸς δ᾽ ὁ μὴ ἔχων, οἱ δ᾽ ἔχοντες ὄλβιοι.
Footnote 966:
396E-397E; cf. _infra_, the Stoic doctrine of “indifferents”; but they
included health and wealth in the same class, while the _Eryxias_ does
not. Cf. Diog. L. vii. 103; cf. a similar passage in the _Euthydemus_;
cf. Schrohl, _op. cit._, p. 34.
Footnote 967:
396E-397E, as above; 393A.
Footnote 968:
405D.
Footnote 969:
405E.
Footnote 970:
406B.
Footnote 971:
_Ibid._, but cf. 134, n. 8, where Socrates approaches this asceticism.
Footnote 972:
403E, distinguishing the materials of a house, the tools by which they
are provided, and the tools for building. Cf. Plato and Aristotle, _in
loc._, for a like distinction.
Footnote 973:
399E.
Footnote 974:
400A-E.
Footnote 975:
400A-B. Heidel (_op. cit._, p. 61) points to his “ostentatious display
of learning” here.
Footnote 976:
402B-C, 404A-B.
Footnote 977:
400E.
Footnote 978:
400C-E, especially ὅσα μέν ἄρα τυγχάνει χρήσιμα ὄντα ἡμῖν ταῦτα
χρήματα, though at this point the term has been made to include all
wealth; cf. also 402C: ἀλλὰ ταῦτ᾽ ἂν εἴν (χρήματα) οἷς τὰ χρήσιμα οἶοί
τ᾽ ἐσμὲν ἐκπορίζεσθαι.
Footnote 979:
Cf. _Teletis Reliquiae_, ed. Hense, Freiburg, 1889. The ancient source
is Stobaeus. Teles, a Cynic of Megara, wrote about 240 B.C. Cf. Hense,
_op. cit._, XXI-XXXV; Gomperz, _op. cit._, II, 129 ff. Fr. iv. A, pp.
24 ff., and iv. B, p. 34, are of special economic interest.
Footnote 980:
Fr. IV, A, pp. 24 ff.
Footnote 981:
Fr. IV, A, p. 24: δι᾽ ἀνελευθερίαν καὶ ῥυπαρίαν.
Footnote 982:
_Ibid._ 27; cf. the example of the Φορκίδες, who have an eye, but do
not use it; cf. also the quotation from the “ancients” on the
distinction between χρήματα, “used wealth,” and κτήματα, “wealth
merely possessed” (ll. 13 f.).
Footnote 983:
P. 32, the unsated life will not be satisfied even with immortality,
since it cannot become Zeus. L. 13 ff., kings are always in want,
σπανίζουσιν. Cf. Xen. _Symp._ iv. 36.
Footnote 984:
P. 26, ll. 4 f., 6-12; p. 31.
Footnote 985:
P. 28, ll. 13-29.
Footnote 986:
P. 29, ll. 6 ff.
Footnote 987:
P. 29; cf. pp. 30 f.; p. 26, ll. 11 f.
Footnote 988:
P. 26.
Footnote 989:
