[138] Soph. Fragm. 712. [139] On Lais, see Pausanias, ii. 2. Her Thessalian lover is there called Hippostratus. Her favours were so costly that the famous proverb is said to owe its origin to her, "Non cuivis homini contingit adire Corinthum." [140] The AEgean and Ionian. Cf. Horace, "Odes," i. 7, 2. [141] On Acro-Corinthus, see Pausanias, ii. 4. The words in inverted commas are from Euripides, Fragm. 921. [142] On Lais generally, and her end, see Athenaeus, xiii. 54, 55. [143] See Sec. I. The Festival of Love was being kept at this very time. [144] This story is also told by Plutarch, "De Mulierum Virtutibus," Sec. xx. [145] Sophocles, Fragm. 741. Quoted again in "On Abundance of Friends," Sec. iii. [146] A Delphic word for love. Can it be connected with [Greek: arma]? [147] Very frequent in Homer, _e.g._, "Iliad," ii. 232; vi, 165; xiii. 636: xiv. 353, etc. [148] See Lucretius, iv. 1105-1114. I tone down the original here a little. [149] Homer, "Odyssey," vi. 183, 184. Cf. Eurip. "Medea," 14, 15. [150] This means when the moustache and beard and whiskers begin to grow. [151] The whole story about Harmodius and Aristogiton and how they killed Hipparchus is told by Thucydides, vi. 54-59. Bion therefore practically called these sprouting beards _tyrant-killers_, _tyrannicides_. [152] "Scriptus igitur hic libellus est post caedem Domitiani."--_Reiske._ [153] Vespasian certainly was not cruel generally. "Non temere quis punitus insons reperietur, nisi absente eo et ignaro aut certe invito atque decepto..... Sola est, in qua merito culpetur, pecuniae cupiditas."--Suetonius, "Divus Vespasianus," 15, 16. CONJUGAL PRECEPTS. PLUTARCH SENDS GREETING TO POLLIANUS AND EURYDICE.
