[413] Our author has used this illustration again in "Phocion," p. 742 B. [414] Namely in Sec. xxvii. where [Greek: parrhesia] is discussed. [415] Contrary to the severe training he ought to undergo, well expressed by Horace, "De Arte Poetica," 412-414. [416] Reading with Hercher [Greek: apotympanizontos kai streblountos]. This was Ptolemy Physcon. [417] "Unus ex Alexandri adulatoribus: memoratus Curtio viii. 5, 6."--_Wyttenbach._ [418] A common proverb among the ancients. See "Conjugal Precepts," Sec. xl.; Erasmus, "Adagia," pp. 1222, 1838. [419] A line out of AEschylus' "Myrmidons." Quoted again by our author, "Of Love," Sec. V. [420] Cleopatra. [421] Homer, "Odyssey," x. 329. They are the words of Circe to Odysseus. But the line was suspected even by old grammarians, and is put in brackets in modern editions of the "Odyssey." [422] See Lucretius, iv. 1079-1085. [423] So Pliny, "Hist. Nat." xxv. 95: "Remedio est (cicutae), priusquam perveniat ad vitalia, vini natura excalfactoria: sed in vino pota irremediabilis existimatur." [424] Assigned to Pittacus by our author, "Septem Sapientum Convivium," Sec. ii. [425] So Wyttenbach, who reads [Greek: enstaseis], and translates, "et libertate loquendi in nobis reprehendendis utitur, quando nos cupiditatibus morbisque animi nostri non indulgere, sed resistere, volumus." [426] "Phoenissae," 469-472. [427] Like Juvenal's "Graeculus esuriens in caelum, jusseris, ibit."--Juvenal, iii, 78. [428] These are two successive lines found three times in Homer, "Iliad," xiv. 195, 196; xviii. 426, 427; "Odyssey," v. 89, 90. The two lines are in each case spoken by one person. [429] Probably lines from "The Flatterer" of Menander. [430] From the "Ino" of Euripides. [431] From the "Erechtheus" of Euripides. [432] We know from Athenaeus, p. 420 D, that Apelles and Arcesilaus were friends. [433] An allusion to Hesiod, "Works and Days," 235. Cf. Horace, "Odes," iv. 5. 23. [434] See the beautiful story of Baucis and Philemon, Ovid, "Metamorphoses," viii. 626-724: "Cura pii dis sunt, et qui coluere coluntur." [435] Compare Terence, "Andria," 43, 44. So too Seneca, "De Beneficiis," ii. 10: "Haec enim beneficii inter duos lex est: alter statim oblivisci debet dati, alter accepti nunquam. Lacerat animum et premit frequens meritorum commemoratio." [436] A similar story about the Samians and Lacedaemonians is told by Aristotle, "Oeconom." ii. 9. [437] A line from Euripides, "Iphigenia in Aulis," 407. [438] Also in "Conjugal Precepts," Sec. xxix. [439] See Persius, iii. 21, 22, with Jahn's Note. [440] See "On Love," Sec. xxi.
