[74] Maximus Tyrius, _Dissert._, xxvi., says that Smerdies was a Thracian, given, for his great beauty, by his Greek captors to Polycrates.

[80] See the fragments of the _Myrmidones_ in the _Poetæ Scenici Græci_, My interpretation of them is, of course, conjectural. [81] Lucian, _Amores_; Plutarch, _Eroticus_; Athenæus, xiii. 602 E. [82] Possibly Æschylus drew his fable from a non-Homeric source, but if so, it is curious that Plato should only refer to Homer. [83] _Symph._, 180 A. Xenophon, _Symph._, 8, 31, points out that in Homer Achilles avenged the death of Patroclus, not as his lover, but as his comrade in arms. [84] Cf. Eurid., _Hippol._, l. 525; Plato, _Phœdr._, p. 255; Max. Tyr., _Dissert._, xxv. 2. [85] See _Poetæ Scenici_, _Fragments of Sophocles_. [86] _Eroticus_; p. 790 E. [87] Ath., p. 602 E. [88] _Tusc._, iv. 33. [89] See Athenæus, xiii. pp. 604, 605, for two very outspoken stories about Sophocles at Chios and apparently at Athens. In 582, e, he mentions one of the boys beloved by Sophocles, a certain Demophon. [90] Plato, _Parm._, 127 A. [91] Pausanias, v. 11, and see Meier, p. 159, note 93. [92] This, by the way, is a strong argument against the theory that the _Iliad_ was a post-Herodotean poem. A poem in the age of Pisistratus or Pericles would not have omitted paiderastia from his view of life, and could not have told the myth of Ganymede as Homer tells it. It is doubtful whether he could have preserved the pure outlines of the story of Patroclus. [93] Page 182, Jowett's trans. Mr. Jowett censures this speech as sophistic and confused in view. It is precisely on this account that it is valuable. The confusion indicates the obscure conscience of the Athenians. The sophistry is the result of a half-acknowledged false position. [94] Page 181, Jowett's trans. [95] See the curious passages in Plato, _Symp._, p. 192; Plutarch, _Erot._, p. 751; and Lucian, _Amores_, c. 38. [96] Quoted by Athen, xiii. 573 B. [97] As Lycon chaperoned Autolycus at the feast of Callias.--_Xen. Symp._ Boys incurred immediate suspicion if they went out alone to parties.
