Δίδυμα γὰρ τόξα αὐτὸν Ἐντείνεσθαι χαρίτων Τὸ μὲν ἐπ' εἰαίωνι τύχα Τὸ δ' ἐπὶ συγχύσει βιοτᾶς. The passage in Euripides is— Δίδυμ' Ἕρως ὁ χρυσοκόμας Τόξ' ἐντείνεται χαρίτων Τὸ μὲν ἐπ' εὐαίωνι πότμῳ Τὸ δ' ἐπὶ συγχύσει βιοτᾶω.—_Iph. in Aul._ 552. [19] Iliad, x. 401. [20] This fragment is from the Hippodamia. [21] Ode 67. [22] This is not from any one of the odes, which we have entire; but is only a fragment. [23] From κείρω, to cut the hair. [24] From the Æolus. [25] Iliad, iii. 156. [26] Ib. iii. 170. [27] Ib. xx. 234. [28] Ach. 524. [29] Pind. Ol. 13. [30] A σκολιὸν was a song which went round at banquets, sung to the lyre by the guests, one after another, said to have been introduced by Terpander; but the word is first found in Pind. Fr. lxxxvii. 9; Aristoph. Ach. 532. The name is of uncertain origin: some refer it to the character of the music, νόμος σκολιὸς, as opposed to νόμος ὔρθιος; others to the ῥυθμὸς σκολιὸς, or amphibrachic rhythm recognised in many scolia; but most, after Dicæarchus and Plutarch, from the irregular zigzag way it went round the table, each guest who sung holding a myrtle-branch, which he passed on to any one he chose.—Lid. & Scott, Gr. Lex. _in voc._ [31] These are the second and third lines of the Electra of Sophocles. [32] The Kids was a constellation rising about the beginning of October, and supposed by the ancients to bring storms. Theocritus says— χὤταν ἐφ' ἑσπερίοις ἐρίφοις νότος ὑγρὰ διώκῃ κύματα.—vii. 53. [33] Θάλλος means "a young twig." [34] There is a pun here on her name,—Ἵππη meaning a mare. [35] Λάκκος, a cistern; a cellar. [36] This is a pun on the similarity of the name Σίγειον to σιγὴ, silence. [37] Γραῦς means both an old woman, and the scum on boiled milk. [38] Ὑστέρα means both "the womb," and "the new comer." [39] Punning on the similarity of the name Αἰγεὺς to αἲξ, a goat. [40] Punning on the similarity of κατατράγω, to eat, and τράγος, a goat. [41] The Greek word is ψυχαγωγοῦσι, which might perhaps also mean to bring coolness, from ψῦχος, coolness. [42] The young man says πολλαῖς συμπέπλεχθαι (γύναιξι scil.), but Phryne chooses to suppose that he meant to say πολλαῖς πληγαῖς, blows. [43] This is a pun on the name Φειδίας, as if from φείδω, to be stingy. [44] Anticyra was the name of three islands celebrated as producing a great quantity of hellebore. Horace, speaking of a madman, says: Si tribus Anticyris caput insanabile nunquam Tonsori Licino commiserit.—A. P. 300. [45] This probably means a large crane. [46] From κλαίω, to weep, and γέλως, laughter. [47] That is, With beautiful Eyelids; from χάρις, grace, and βλέφαρον, an eyelid. [48] The universal Friend.
