[19\1: As Aristarchos noticed: see _Rh. Mus._ 36, 544 f. Rather different are the (certainly ancient) games and contests for the hand of a bride (cf. stories of Pelops, Danaos, Ikarios, etc.).] [20\1: Cf. ~Ps~ 274, ~ei me\n nu=n _epi\_ a/llô| aethleu/oimen Achaioi/~, i.e. in _honour_ of Patroklos; cf. 646: ~so\n hetai=ron ae/thloisi _ktere/ïze_~. ~ktereï/zein~ means to give the dead man his ~kte/rea~, i.e. his former possessions (by burning them). The games are therefore on exactly the same footing as the burning of the personal effects of the dead in which the soul of the dead man was supposed still to take pleasure.] [21\1: Aug., _CD._ viii, 26: Varro dicit omnes mortuos existimari manes deos, et probat per ea sacra quae omnibus fere mortuis exhibentur, ubi et ludos commemorat funebres, tamquam hoc sit maximum divinitatis indicium, quod non solent ludi nisi numinibus celebrari.] [22\1: Quae pietas ei debetur a quo nihil acceperis? aut quid omnino, cuius nullum meritum sit, ei deberi potest? . . . (dei) quamobrem colendi sint non intellego nullo nec accepto ab eis nec sperato bono, Cic., _ND._ i, 116; cf. Pl., _Euthphr._ pass. Homer speaks in the same way of the ~_amoibê\_ agakleitê=s hekato/mbês~, ~g~ 58-9 (cf. ~amoiba\s tô=n thusiô=n~ from the side of the gods, Pl. _Smp._, 202 E).] [23\1: ~tou=to/ nu kai\ ge/ras hoi=on oïzuroi=si brotoi=sin, kei/rasthai/ te ko/mên bale/ein t' apo\ da/kru pareiô=n~, ~d~ 197 f.; cf. ~ô~ 188 f., 294 f.] [24\1: ~ou ga\r e/t' au=tis ni/somai ex' Aï/dao epê/n me puro\s lela/chête~, ~Ps~ 75 f.]
