"By Olympian Jove I charge you, and by Themis who presides O'er the assemblies of the people."--ODYSSEY II. 68. Note 22 (p. 107). ". . . exasperate at the loss Of my so fair possessions." ἀποχρημάτοισι ζημιάις ταυρόυμενον. KL. has made sad havoc of this line; but his objections to the old translation are weak, and his transpositions, so far as I can see, only make confusion more confounded. I stick by STAN. Ἀποχρήματος ζημιά est _damnum bonorum omnium_. Huc facit illud quod sequitur v. 299. και προσπιέζει χρημάτων ἀχηνία. Note 23 (p. 107). ". . . The evil-minded Powers Beneath the Earth." I am quite at a loss to explain the original of this passage further than that I see nothing harsh (as LIN. does) in referring the general term δυσφρόνων to the Furies, who are specially mentioned afterwards. It is quite common with Æschylus to give a general description first, and then specialise; and, moreover, in the present instance the λιχήνος which the δυσφρονες are to send on the flesh of the sinner, are strictly analogous to the λιχὴν ἀφυλλος (Eumen. v. 788), with which, in the Eumenides, they threaten to curse the Athenian soil. For the rest I should have little objection, in the present state of the MSS., to adopt LOBECK's suggestion, μηνίματα, into the text, and have in effect so translated. Note 24 (p. 107). "And through the dark his prescient eyebrow arched." The reference of this impracticable line to Apollo comes from Pauw, and has been adopted by SCHWENCK, who reads-- 'Ορῶν τε λαμπρὸν ὲν σκότῳ τ᾽ ᾽οφρὺν. Another way of squeezing a meaning from the line is to refer it to Agamemnon-- "With trains of heavier woes Raised by the Furies from my father's blood, Who in the realms of night sees this, and bends His gloomy brows."--POT. The other translations proposed are meagre and unpoetical. Note 25 (p. 107). ". . . him no share In festal cup awaits, or hallowed drop Of pure libation." {363} Here we have a notable example of the terms of that sort of excommunication which the religious and social feeling of the ancients passed against the perpetrators of atrocious crimes. See Introductory Remarks to the Eumenides. Note 26 (p. 108). "Age to age with hoary wisdom Speaketh thus to men."
