[4\2: The wish to die quickly is expressly _contrasted_ with the wish to be carried off by the Harpies, 63 ~ê\ e/peita~--"or if not," i.e. if quick death is denied to me. (v. _Rh. Mus._ 50, 2, 2.) Again 79-80: ~hôs e/m' _aïstô/seian_ Olu/mpia dô/mat' e/chontes êe/ m' eüplo/kamos ba/loi A/rtemis~. Thus the Harpies (= ~thu/ella~ 63) in this case do not bring death but carry away men alive (~anarpa/xasa oi/choito~ 63 f., ~ha/rpuiai anêrei/psanto~ 77 = ~ane/lonto thu/ellai~ 66, and they carry them off ~kat' êero/enta ke/leutha~ 64 to the ~prochoai\ apsorro/ou Ôkeanoi=o~ 65 ~e/dosan stugerê=|sin Erinu/sin amphipoleu/ein~ 78). At the "mouths of Okeanos" (where it goes into the sea is the entrance to the world of the dead; ~k~ 508 ff., ~l~ 13 ff. To be carried off by the storm-spirits used proverbially as a wish: ~Z~ 345 ff. ~hô=s m' o/phel' ê/mati tô=| ho/te me prô=ton te/ke mê/têr oi/chesthai prophe/rousa kakê\ ane/moio _thu/ella_ eis o/ros ê\ eis ku=ma poluphloi/sboio thala/ssês~ (i.e. to some solitary place, Orph., _H._ 19, 19; 36, 16; 71, 11). Such transportation through the air is elsewhere contrasted with death and dwelling in Hades, as in Penelope's prayer. (Roscher, _Kynanthropie_ [Abh. d. sächs. Ges. d. Wiss. xvii], p. 67, gives a strange but hardly the correct explanation of this.) Cf. Soph., _Tr._, 953 ff.; _Ai._, 1193 ff.; (_Phil._, 1092 ff.?); cf. also Eur., _Hipp._, 1279 ff.; _Ion_, 805 f.; _Supp._, 833-6. A deeply rooted popular mode of thought, and one of primeval antiquity, lies at the root of all {81} these instances.--~hupo\ pneuma/tôn sunarpage/nta a/phanton gene/sthai~ is a reason for ~timai\ atha/natoi~, in the only half-rationalized story of Hesperos in D.S. 3, 60, 3.] [5\2: One would like to know more of this strange story, but what we learn elsewhere of Pandareos and his daughters (Sch. ~u~ 66-7; ~t~ 518; Ant. Lib. 36) contributes nothing to the understanding of the Homeric narrative and probably belongs in part to another connexion. Pandareos, father of Aëdon (~t~ 518 ff.), seems to be another person. Even the strange representation of the two daughters of Pandareos in Polygnotos' picture of the underworld (Paus. 10, 30, 2) casts no light on the Homeric fable. (Cf. Roscher, _Kynan._, 4 ff., 65 f.)]
