Sophocles' Trachiniae
That after that is just too ghastly. Jebb's citations are no parallels; the difference is that (‘as to which things’—J.) and (‘that prospect’—J.) have both precisely the same reference. Read ‘which reflections ... time-honoured as they are’. In this well-known construction a term (often substantive, sometimes adjective) which logically belongs to the antecedent is deferred and inserted in the relative clause—‘for emphasis’ (M. Tierney, rightly, o…
Manilius 1. 466–8 and 515–17
Astronomy has been known to profit on occasion from the observations of amateurs; and so perhaps, in its less technical passages, could the Astronomica . I venture to dispute the emendations of Mr. Shackleton Bailey (hereinafter S.B.) in the first two items of his learned Maniliana ( C.Q ., N.S. vi. 81)
Sophocles, O.T . 220–1
In C.Q . N.s. iv (1954), 10–12, I gave an elaborate diagnosis of the morbid symptoms in sense and syntax of the traditional text. I then proposed , rendering ‘as I now am doing, without success’. Professor W. M. Edwards wrote to me that he accepted ‘this very helpful analysis of the trouble', but not my emendation, on the ground that O.'s admission of failure would be ‘a factual statement requiring ’
Notes on Euripides' Bacchae
Since 1944, attempts at progress in the interpretation of the text of the Bacchae must inevitably express themselves mainly in terms of respectful disagreement with Professor Dodds's edition published in that year. 20–24. Dodds's text was justly called in question by Kitto ( C.R . lx (1946), 65), but there is only one available remedy for this complex; those who work it out for themselves will find that they had been anticipated by Wecklein in hi…
Further Studies in Sophocles
‘ “I desire”’ Jebb, whose note I now take as read. In this and my ensuing discussion I seek to show that never has that meaning. The scholiast's note is a sophism, and Jebb's is another. Jebb says that the primary sense is to love ; he prudently leaves unstated the next step in the fallacy, that to love might mean to have just fallen in love with; and he concludes that poetry ‘could easily draw’ the sense to desire . Actually applies as between p…
Horace, Odes and Epodes
Euripides Helena
On the Cruces of Horace, Satires , 2. 2
The ‘ four famous cruces ’ (Gow, ed. p. 4) of this satire are as interesting as notorious. I regard the first as solved, since I cannot imagine anybody (Horace included) improving upon Postgate's line 13 (see below). But I find instead a hitherto undetected but quite palpable flaw in the opening words
Sophoclea
I present first what I take to be a more interesting item than the others. O.C 716–19. δ' εὐρετμος ἔκπαγλ' λα χερ σ ✝παραπτομναπλτα θρῷσκει, τν κατομπδων νηρῄδων κλουθος. The above is Pearson's text, except that I have transferred the last syllable of his 716 to the beginning of my 717. Careful consideration of the metre of this stasimon has convinced me that 716 is rightly regarded by Schroeder as an ionic trimeter (what Pearson's line would be …

Pike and Eel
Recent discussion of the problems associated with glacie has been copious. It has arisen ( C.R . lii. 56) out of Housman's note, which runs as follows: ‘ glacie nemini, quantum scio, praeterquam mini et Schradero et Hadriano Valesio admirationem mouit: ceteris exploratum est frigore pisces maculosos fieri, eos praesertim qui torrentem cloacam, locum frigidissimum, penetrare soleant.’ In his 1931 reprint he added (p. xlvi): ‘Ruperti took exception…
Five Passages in Sophocles
On οὐδ ἄγγελός τίς κτλ. Jebb writes: ‘The sentence begins as if ἄγγελός were to be followed by ἤλθε:but the second alternative, συμπράκτωρ όδοû suggests κατεȋδε [had seen , though he did not speak ]: and this, by a kind of zeugma, stands as verb to ἃγγελος also.’ In support he cites only an atrocious zeugma from the MS. text of Hdt. iv. 106; but this has (and had) been corrected, as anyone may now see who will examine the text and apparatus of ch…

Aeschylus, Agamemnon 1148
‘A sweet life without lamentation’ renders Mr G. Thomson, who discusses the passage in C.Q. XXVIII 74 f. That is beyond question what this Greek will naturally and properly mean; if there were any doubt, his citations dispel it
Aeschylus Agamemnon 1223–38 and Treacherous Monsters
In C.Q. XXVI. 45–51 I contended that in Aesch. Agam . 1227–30 Cassandra describes Clytemnestra in terms of a Greek proverb, the proverb of the Treacherous Hound; and I restored the passage thus:— νεŵν δ' ἔπαρχоς 'Ιλ⋯оν τ' ⋯ναστ⋯της оὐκ оἶδεν оἵα γλŵσσα μισ⋯της κνν⋯ς λε⋯ξασα κα⋯ σ⋯νασα φα⋯δρ', оἷоν δ⋯κоς Ατης λαθρα⋯оν δ⋯ξεται κακῇ τ⋯χνῃ
Ausoniana
I n C.Q. XXVII. 178–181 Mr. S. G. Owen has raised some interesting questions, but it may be doubted whether he has in every case discovered the correct solution. Panntalia 30, 6: quaeque sine exemplo in nece functa uiri. Mr. Owen's pronece removes the hiatus, but I think has no other merit. The sense ‘a death for a death,’ even if not necessarily or best represented by repetition of the same term, is at least not happily represented by such combi…

Cassandra speaking. The first of these lines is not in dispute; the three which follow are notorious; they are subjoined as in the manuscripts, with punctuation to mark the ostensible construction: ε δ ἔπαρχος Ίλίοʊ τ άναστάτης ούκ οἶδεν οἶδ уλσσα μισητς κʊѵòς λέξασα καì κτείνασα φαιδρόνοʊς, δίκην ἄτης λαθραίοʋ τεύξεται κακῇ τύχῃ
Some Simple Facts Apropos Theocritus I. 51
In the last number of C.Q. (XXV., p. 207) Mr. A. D. Knox has drawn up a list of Theocriteans who, he suggests, ‘have all of them made the most elementary mistake’ of failing to consider the possibility at least that it is the Boy, and not the Fox, who is the subject of καθξῃ in Id. I. 51. From that list he will have to with-draw two names, Gow and Campbell. This construction, which Mr. Knox propounds as a novelty, had been suggested by Mr. Gow in…
