rammar and Syntax。 (29) 275…195 (?) B。C。; mathematician; astronomer; scholar; and head of the Library of Alexandria。 (30) Of Cyme。 He wrote a universal history covering the period between the Dorian Migration and 340 B。C。 (31) i。e。 the nomad Scythians; who are described by Herodotus as feeding on mares' milk and living in caravans。 (32) The restorations are mainly those adopted or suggested in 〃Ox。 Pap。〃 pt。 xi。 pp。 48 ff。: for those of ll。 8…14 see 〃Class。 Quart。〃 x。 (1916) pp。 67…69。 (33) i。e。 those who seek to outwit the oracle; or to ask of it more than they ought; will be deceived by it and be led to ruin: cp。 〃Hymn to Hermes〃; 541 ff。 (34) Zetes and Calais; sons of Boreas; who were amongst the Argonauts; delivered Phineus from the Harpies。 The Strophades (‘Islands of Turning') are here supposed to have been so called because the sons of Boreas were there turned back by Iris from pursuing the Harpies。 (35) An Epicurean philosopher; fl。 50 B。C。 (36) ‘Charming…with…her…voice' (or ‘Charming…the…mind'); ‘Song'; and ‘Lovely…sounding'。 (37) Diodorus Siculus; fl。 8 B。C。; author of an universal history ending with Caesar's Gallic Wars。 (38) The first epic in the 〃Trojan Cycle〃; like all ancient epics it was ascribed to Homer; but also; with more probability; to Stasinus of Cyprus。 (39) This fragment is placed by Spohn after 〃Works and Days〃 l。 120。 (40) A Greek of Asia Minor; author of the 〃Description of Greece〃 (on which he was still engaged in 173 A。D。)。 (41) Wilamowitz thinks one or other of these citations belongs to the Catalogue。 (42) Lines 1…51 are from Berlin Papyri; 9739; lines 52…106 with B。 1…50 (and following fragments) are from Berlin Papyri; 10560。 A reference by Pausanias (iii。 24。 10) to ll。 100 ff。 proves that the two fragments together come from the 〃Catalogue of Women〃。 The second book (the beginning of which is indicated after l。 106) can hardly be the second book of the 〃Catalogues〃 proper: possibly it should be assigned to the EOIAI; which were sometimes treated as part of the 〃Catalogues〃; and sometimes separated from it。 The remains of thirty…seven lines following B。 50 in the Papyrus are too slight to admit of restoration。 (43) sc。 the Suitor whose name is lost。 (44) Wooing was by proxy; so Agamemnon wooed Helen for his brother Menelaus (ll。 14…15); and Idomeneus; who came in person and sent no deputy; is specially mentioned as an exception; and the reasons for this if the restoration printed in the text be right is stated (ll。 69 ff。)。 (45) The Papyrus here marks the beginning of a second book (〃B〃); possibly of the EOIAE。 The passage (ll。 2…50) probably led up to an account of the Trojan (and Theban?) war; in which; according to 〃Works and Days〃 ll。 161…166; the Race of Heroes perished。 The opening of the 〃Cypria〃 is somewhat similar。 Somewhere in the fragmentary lines 13…19 a son of Zeus almost certainly Apollo was introduced; though for what purpose is not clear。 With l。 31 the destruction of man (cp。 ll。 4…5) by storms which spoil his crops begins: the remaining verses are parenthetical; describing the snake ‘which bears its young in the spring season'。 (46) i。e。 the snake; as in 〃Works and Days〃 l。 524; the 〃Boneless One〃 is the cuttle…fish。 (47) c。 1110…1180 A。D。 His chief work was a poem; 〃Chiliades〃; in accentual verse of nearly 13;000 lines。 (48) According to this account Iphigeneia was carried by Artemis to the Taurie Chersonnese (the Crimea)。 The Tauri (Herodotus iv。 103) identified their maiden…goddess with Iphigeneia; but Euripides (〃Iphigeneia in Tauris〃) makes her merely priestess of the goddess。 (49) Of Alexandria。 He lived in the 5th century; and compiled a Greek Lexicon。 (50) For his murder Minos exacted a yearly tribute of boys and girls; to be devoured by the Minotaur; from the Athenians。 (51) Of Naucratis。 His 〃Deipnosophistae〃 (〃Dons at Dinner〃) is an encyclopaedia of miscellaneous topics in the form of a dialogue。 His date is c。 230 A。D。 (52) There is a fancied connection between LAAS (‘stone') and LAOS (‘people')。 The reference is to the stones which Deucalion and Pyrrha transformed into men and women after the Flood。 (53) Eustathius identifies Ileus with Oileus; father of Aias。 Here again is fanciful etymology; ILEUS being similar to ILEOS (complaisant; gracious)。 (54) Imitated by Vergil; 〃Aeneid〃 vii。 808; describing Camilla。 (55) c。 600 A。D。; a lecturer and grammarian of Constantinople。 (56) Priest of Apollo; and; according to Homer; discoverer of wine。 Maronea in Thrace is said to have been called after him。 (57) The crow was originally white; but was turned black by Apollo in his anger at the news brought by the bird。 (58) A philosopher of Athens under Hadrian and Antonius。 He became a Christian and wrote a defence of the Christians addressed to Antoninus Pius。 (59) Zeus slew Asclepus (fr。 90) because of his success as a healer; and Apollo in revenge killed the Cyclopes (fr。 64)。 In punishment Apollo was forced to serve Admetus as herdsman。 (Cp。 Euripides; 〃Alcestis〃; 1…8) (60) For Cyrene and Aristaeus; cp。 Vergil; 〃Georgics〃; iv。 315 ff。 (61) A writer on mythology of uncertain date。 (62) In Epirus。 The oracle was first consulted by Deucalion and Pyrrha after the Flood。 Later writers say that the god responded in the rustling of leaves in the oaks for which the place was famous。 (63) The fragment is part of a leaf from a papyrus book of the 4th century A。D。 (64) According to Homer and later writers Meleager wasted away when his mother Althea burned the brand on which his life depended; because he had slain her brothers in the dispute for the hide of the Calydonian boar。 (Cp。 Bacchylides; 〃Ode〃 v。 136 ff。) (65) The fragment probably belongs to the 〃Catalogues〃 proper rather than to the Eoiae; but; as its position is uncertain; it may conveniently be associated with Frags。 99A and the 〃Shield of Heracles〃。 (66) Most of the smaller restorations appear in the original publication; but the larger are new: these last are highly conjectual; there being no definite clue to the general sense。 (67) Alcmaon (who took part in the second of the two heroic Theban expeditions) is perhaps mentioned only incidentally as the son of Amphiaraus; who seems to be clearly indicated in ll。 7…8; and whose story occupies ll。 5…10。 At l。 11 the subject changes and Electryon is introduced as father of Alcmena。 (68) The association of ll。 1…16 with ll。 17…24 is presumed from the apparent mention of Erichthonius in l。 19。 A new section must then begin at l。 21。 See 〃Ox。 Pap。〃 pt。 xi。 p。 55 (and for restoration of ll。 5…16; ib。 p。 53)。 ll。 19…20 are restored by the Translator。
THE SHIELD OF HERACLES (480 lines)
(ll。 1…27) Or like here who left home and country and came to Thebes; following warlike Amphitryon; even Alemena; the daug
