[43\2: Similarly, though the oxymoron is much less daring in his case, Isocrates, 9, 72, has ~dai/môn thnêto/s~. In order to describe a daimon who has originally been a mortal later ages boldly invented the compound ~anthrôpodai/môn~ which corresponds fairly well with the Hesiodic ~ma/kar thnêto/s~: [Eur.] _Rhes._, 971; Procop., _An._ 12, p. 79, 17 D. (~nekudai/môn~ on a _defixio_ from Carthage, _BCH._ xii, 299). Later still a king destined to become a god is called, even at his birth, by Manetho (i, 280) ~_theo\n broto\n_ anthrô/poisin~.] [44\2: The silver race was created by the gods of Olympos, like the golden before them (l. 110; 128); only the third race (l. 143) and then the fourth (158) by Zeus alone. It might be supposed from this that the silver age as well as the golden age occurred in the period before Zeus' rule, ~epi\ Kro/nou ho/t' ouranô=| embasi/leuen~ (l. 111); and in this sense "Orpheus" understood the words of Hesiod when he ~tou= argurou= ge/nous basileu/ein phêsi\ to\n Kro/non~ (Proclus on l. 126). But it would be very difficult to reconcile l. 138 ~Zeu\s Kroni/dês ktl.~ with this view. Hesiod may then have placed the silver age in the time when sub Iove mundus erat (as Ovid explicitly states, _M._ i, 113 f.); but all the same it lay for him in the far distant past before all history.] [45\2: ~nô/numnoi~ 154 may quite as well mean "nameless", i.e. without name or special title, as "fameless" (as it does for the most part though not invariably in Homer).] [46\2: See Welcker, _Kl. Schr._ ii, 6, who, however, in the desire to rule out all possibility of identifying Scherie with Korkyra asserts too positively that it was a part of the mainland. ~z~ 204 (compared with ~d~ 354) at least comes very close to regarding it as an island. But it is clear that nowhere is it explicitly called an island.--It is possible that ~Scheri/ê~, connected with ~schero/s~, may really mean "mainland" (Welcker, loc. cit.; Kretschmer, _Einl. Gesch. gr. Spr._, 281): but the question still remains whether the Homeric poet, who did not invent the name, understood or respected its original significance. At any rate, it was no longer understood by those who in very early times identified Scherie with the island Korkyra.] [47\2: The objections to l. 169 as regards its form are brought out by Steitz, _Hesiods W. u. T._, p. 69. The line is missing in most of the MSS.; it was rejected (together with the line following, which, however, {87} is quite sound) by ancient critics (Proclus on l. 158). Later editors are united in condemning it. But the interpolation is at any rate old: probably even Pindar already knew the line in this place (_O._ ii, 70).] [48\2: ~lu=se de\ Zeu\s a/phthitos Tita=nas~ Pi. (_P._ iv, 291), in whose time, however, this was a well-known myth to which he is only making a passing allusion for the sake of an example. The Hesiodic Theogony still knows nothing of it.]
