Τὸν δ' εὗρον φρένα τερπόμενον φόρμιγγι λιγείῃ, καλῇ, δαιδαλέῃ, ἐπὶ δ' ἀργύρεος ζύγος ἤεν τὴν ἄρετ' ἐξ ἐνάρων πτόλιν Ἠετίωνος ὀλέσσας Τῃ ὅγε θυμὸν ἔτερπεν, ἄειδε δ' ἄρα κλέα ἀνδρῶν. Which is translated by Pope:— Amused at ease the godlike man they found, Pleased with the solemn harp's harmonious sound, (The well-wrought harp from conquer'd Thebæ came, Of polish'd silver was its costly frame.) With this he soothes his angry soul, and sings Th' immortal deeds of heroes and of kings.—Iliad, ix. 245. [71] Odyss. xvii. 262. [72] Iliad, i. 603. [73] This story is related by Herodotus, vi. 126. [74] See Herodotus, i. 55. [75] Κίνησις, motion. [76] From ὄσχη, a vine-branch with grapes on it, and φέρω, to bear. [77] It is not known what part of the theatre this was. [78] Iliad, xxiii. 2. [79] Odyss. xii. 423. [80] "This passage perplexes me on two accounts; first of all because I have not been able to find such a line in Homer; and secondly because I do not see what is faulty or weak in it; and it cannot be because it is a spondaic verse, for of that kind there are full six hundred in Homer. The other line comes from Iliad, ii. 731."—_Schweigh._ [81] Iliad, xii. 208. [82] There is a difficulty again here, for there is no such line found in Homer; the line most like it is— Καλὴ Καστιάνειρα, δέμας εἰκυῖα θεῆσι.—Iliad, viii. 305. In which, however, there is no incorrectness or defect at all. [83] Odyss. ix. 212. [84] Iliad, ix. 157. [85] Odyss. i. 237. [86] The Κάρνεια were a great national festival, celebrated by the Spartans in honour of Apollo Carneius, under which name he was worshipped in several places in Peloponnesus, especially at Amyclæ, even before the return of the Heraclidæ. It was a warlike festival, like the Attic Boedromia. The Carnea were celebrated also at Cyrene, Messene, Sybaris, Sicyon, and other towns.—See Smith's Dict. Ant. _in voc._ [87] From κλέπτω, to steal,—to injure privily. [88] καίτοι τί δεῖ λύρας ἐπι τοῦτον, ποῦ 'στιν ἡ τοῖς ὀστράκοις αὔτη κροτοῦσα; δεῦρο Μοῦσ' Εὐμιπίδου.—Ar. Ranæ, 1305. [89] The Greek word is χρώματα: "As a technical term in Greek music, χρῶμα was a modification of the simplest or diatonic music; but there were also χρώματα as further modifications of all the three common kinds (diatonic, chromatic, and enharmonic)." Liddell and Scott, _in voc._ Smith, Dict. Gr. and Rom. Ant. v. _Music_, p. 625 _a_, calls them χρόαι, and says there were six of them; one in the enharmonic genus, often called simply ἁρμονία; two in the diatonic, 1st, διάτονον σίντονον, or simply διάτονον, the same as the genus; 2d, διάτονον μαλακόν: and three in the chromatic, 1st, χρῶμα τονιαῖον, or simply χρῶμα, the same as the genus; 2d, χρῶμα ἡμιόλιον; 3d, χρῶμα μαλακόν. _V. loc._
