2.835-2.850

And here they stayed from taking thought for their voyaging and abode in grief for the burial of their dead friend. And for three whole days they lamented; and on the next they buried him with full honours, and the people and King Lycus himself took part in the funeral rites; and, as is the due of the departed, they slaughtered countless sheep at his tomb. And so a barrow to this hero was raised in that land, and there stands a token for men of later days to see, the trunk of a wild olive tree, such as ships are built of; and it flourishes with its green leaves a little below the Acherusian headland. And if at the bidding of the Muses I must tell this tale outright, Phoebus strictly commanded the Boeotians and Nisaeans to worship him as guardian of their city, and to build their city round the trunk of the ancient wild olive; but they, instead of the god-fearing Aeolid Idmon, at this day honour Agamestor.

2.851-2.868

Who was the next that died? For then a second time the heroes heaped up a barrow for a comrade dead. For still are to be seen two monuments of those heroes. The tale goes that Tiphys son of Hagnias died; nor was it his destiny afterward to sail any further. But him there on the spot a short sickness laid to rest far from his native land, when the company had paid due honours to the dead son of Abas. And at the cruel sorrow they were seized with unbearable grief. For when with due honours they had buried him also hard by the seer, they cast themselves down in helplessness on the sea-shore silently, closely wrapped up, and took no thought for meat or drink; and their spirit drooped in grief, for all hope of return was gone. And in their sorrow they would have stayed from going further had not Hera kindled exceeding courage in Ancaeus, whom near the waters of Imbrasus Astypalaea bore to Poseidon; for especially was he skilled in steering and he eagerly addressed Peleus:

2.869-2.877

"Son of Aeacus, is it well for us to give up our toils and linger on in a strange land? Not so much for my prowess in war did Jason take me with him in quest of the fleece, far from Parthenia, as for my knowledge of ships. Therefore, please, let there be no fear for the ship. And so there are here other men of skill, of whom none will harm our voyaging, whomsoever we set at the helm. But quickly tell forth all this and boldly urge them to call to mind their task."

2.878-2.884

Thus he spoke; and Peleus' soul was stirred with gladness, and immediately he spoke in the midst of all: "My friends, why do we thus cherish a bootless grief like this? For those two have perished by the fate they have met with; but among our host are steersmen yet, and many a one. Therefore let us not delay our attempt, but rouse yourselves to the work and cast away your griefs."

2.835-2.850

So they stayed them from all thought of sailing, and abode in bitter grief for the burial of the dead man. Three full days they mourned, and on the fourth made him a¹ splendid funeral; and the people, with Lycus their king as well, joined in the funeral rites ; and at the grave -side they cut the throats of countless sheep, as is the meed of the departed. So in that land this warrior's cairn was heaped, and upon it is a sign' for those who may yet be born to see, a log of wild olive such as ships are builded of, which putteth forth her leaf a little below the Acherusian head land. Yea, and if I must needs declare this also clearly in my song, Phœbus bade the Bœotians, who came from Nisæa, worship him, nothing doubting, as the protector of their city, and found a town about that log of ancient olive ; but these to-day do honour to Agamestor instead of Idmon, god-like son of Æolus.

2.851-2.877

Who next did die ? that must I tell; for yet again the heroes piled a barrow for a comrade dead. For verily there are yet two tombs of those two men to be seen. 'Tis said that Tiphys, son of Hagnias, died, for it was not appointed him to voyage further. Nay, a short illness closed there his eyes far from his fatherland, while his company were burying the dead son of Abas. And bitter was the grief they felt at this cruel woe. For when they had buried him too beside the other there, they threw themselves down in their distress before the sea, closely wrapped from head to foot, and never a word they spake nor had they any thought for meat or drink, but sorrow made their spirit droop ; for very far from their hopes was their return, and in their²³⁴⁵ anguish would they have stopped from going any further, had not Hera put exceeding courage in the breast of Ancæus, whom Astypalæa bare to Poseidon by the waters of Imbrasus ; for a right good steersman was he. So he did up anon, and spake to Peleus, " Son of Æacus, how can this be well to linger on in a strange land, neglectful of our enterprise ? Jason hath in me, whom he is leading from Parthenie away to fetch the fleece, a man whose skill in war is only second to his knowledge of ships; wherefore I pray you, let this fear for the ship be short-lived. Yea, and there be others here, men of skill; and whomso of these we shall set over the helm, none shall harm our voyaging. But quickly tell all this comfort out; then boldly rouse them to a remembrance of their labour."

2.878-2.884

So spake he, and the heart of the other went out to him in gladness; and anon, without delay, he made harangue in their midst, " God help us, sirs ! why nurse we thus our grief in vain ? The dead, I trow, have died the death that fell to their lot, but there are amongst us, methinks, helms men in our company, aye, plenty of them. Wherefore delay we no more our attempt, but up to your work, cast ing sorrow to the winds."

Immers'd in grief, they now neglect to ſail;

For three whole days their comrade they bewail;

But on the fourth, with penſive ſorrow, paid

1050

The laſt ſad honours due to Idmon's ſhade.

The king, the people join'd the mournful crew,

And, loud-lamenting, numerous victims ſlew :

They dug the grave, and on the greenſword raiſe

A tomb on which poſterity will gaze:

1055

For near the tomb a tall wild olive grows,

Beneath the cape, and beautifully blows.

Me would the Nine commiſſion to unfold

This truth, which Phœbus had long ſince foretold,

This, this is he, the tutelary lord,

1060

Henceforth to be by mighty ſtates ador'd:

For here Bæotians and Megarians join'd,

Near the wild olive wavering in the wind,

To build a city; though due honours they

To Agameſtor, not to Idmon, pay.

1065

Who fell beſide? for, lo! the chiefs intend

Another tomb for ſome lamented friend.

Ev'n now two mournful monuments appear:

Tiphys, Fame ſays, was ſtretch'd upon the bier.

Him cruel fate ordain'd no more to roam;

1070

He died far diſtant from his native home.

For while to Idmon funeral rites they pay,

Untimely ſickneſs ſnatch'd the chief away.

Then heart-felt ſadneſs ſeiz'd the penſive train,

Who, proſtrate on the margin of the main,

1075

Forgetful of their neceſſary food,

Mourn'd in ſad ſilence to the roaring flood.

For they, now ſkilful Tiphys is no more,

Deſpair'd returning to their native ſhore;

And here had staid, with bitter grief oppreſs'd,

1080

Had not Saturnia in Ancæus' breaſt

Breath'd courage: him Astypalæa bore,

Near winding Imbraſus on Samos' ſhore,

To ocean's God; a chief expert to guide

The flying veſſel o'er the foaming tide.

1085

Then thus to Peleus, Neptune's valiant ſon,

By heaven inſpir'd, in cheering terms begun :

Ill ſuits the brave in foreign climes to ſtay,

And waste, O Peleus, precious time away.

I left not Samos leſs for ſailing ſkill'd

1090

Than fierce contention in the fighting field.

For Argo cherish not one abject fear,

'Since many ſkill'd, beſides myſelf, are here.

And he, to whom the ſteerage we ordain,

'Will ſafely guide the veſſel o'er the main.

1095

'Tis thine to ſtimulate the fainting crew

'With ready oars their voyage to purſue.'

He ſpoke, and tranſport touch'd the Phthian's breaſt,

Inſtant he roſe, and thus the host addreſs'd:

"Why are we here by fruitleſs grief detain'd?

1100

"Two friends are dead, and this the fates ordain'd;

" Yet many pilots in this hoſt remain,

"To ſteer firm Argo o'er the watery plain.

"To ſorrows unavailing bid adieu!

"Let us, bold peers, our deſtin'd courſe purſue."

1-4a. Beginning: the participle is formed from a verb of encompassing sense. Encompassing verbs are those that indicate both action and passion, such as βιάζομαι, δωροῦμαι, σφαγιάζομαι. Thus also ἄρχομαι signifies on the one hand 'I make a beginning from you' — for it is customary to begin with the gods: 'let us begin from Zeus' (Arat. Phaen. 1; Theocr. XVII 1) —, and on the other hand it signifies 'being inspired by you', as if being filled with divine frenzy. For poets are said to be inspired like madmen. He uses the present participle ἀρχόμενος instead of ἀρξάμενος.

It is asked why Orpheus, being weak, sailed with the heroes; because Chiron, being a seer, prophesied that they would be able to pass the Sirens if Orpheus sailed with them.

40-41. And after them Larisa: He means Larisa in Thessaly, which Acrisius founded, and which was named after Larisa, daughter of Pelasgus, as Hellanicus says (4 fr. 91 J.). There are three Larisas: the oldest is the Argive one, which is the acropolis itself; the second is in the Pelasgian part of Thessaly, which Homer (B 738) calls Argissa, being near Gyrtone, which Apollonius now mentions; there is also one near Troy, which Homer (B 840f.) mentions: 'the tribes of Pelasgians, those who [dwelt in] Larisa'. Apollonius said that Polyphemus was the son of Elatus, but Socrates (fr. 10 M. IV 498) and Euphorion (fr. 87 Scheidw.) say he was the son of Poseidon. The Lapiths were named after Lapithes, son of Apollo and the nymph Stilbe.

57-64a. Gyrtone of Coronus: which Homer mentions (B 738) 'they dwelt in Gyrtone'. It is a city of Thessaly or Perrhaebia, as Suda says (fg 5 M. II 464), and it was named after Gyrtone, daughter of Phlegyas. Coronus is the son of Caeneus. The myth is that Caeneus was formerly a woman, and then after Poseidon had intercourse with her she was changed into a man; for she asked for this and for invulnerability. He also contended with Apollo and was defeated. And he used to make passers-by swear by his spear; hence the proverb 'the spear of Caeneus'. But some say that Caeneus sailed with the Argonauts, not Coronus; Apollonius took it from Pindar, who says (fg 167 Schr.): 'struck by green firs Caeneus went down, splitting the earth with upright foot.' This happened to him because he neither sacrificed to the gods nor prayed, but only to his own spear; therefore Zeus set the Centaurs upon him, who drove him into the ground.

b. Ctimene Dolopian: Ctimene is a city of Thessaly. He called it Dolopian, meaning Thessalian; for the Dolopes are a tribe of Thessaly. Homer (I 484): 'they dwelt in the farthest part of Phthia, ruling over the Dolopes'.

But Herodorus in his Argonautica (31 F 5 J.) calls him Eurybates and says he was the son of Teleon.

To be destroyed: here δηωθῆναι is used in a rather novel sense for ‘to be ruined.’ The poet, as if grieving over the destruction of the heroes, exclaims in sequence: ‘as not for mortals.’ The sense is: there is no greatest evil which a man fails to encounter. Therefore it should be ἀπαυρεῖν with long alpha. Or: because no evil is greatest which would be grievous for men to experience, that is, to meet with.

And Theseus, having fallen in love with Helen, had Pirithous as his accomplice, while Pirithous, wishing to marry Persephone, necessarily had Theseus following him. And indeed, having descended through Taenarum and seated themselves on a certain rock, they were unable to rise again. But Heracles, later descending for Cerberus, rescued Theseus as one who had not gone down willingly, but left Pirithous, since he had gone down by his own choice. And the Dioscuri marched against Troezen because of their sister while Theseus was in Hades, and having sacked it, they took captive Aethra, the mother of Theseus.

When an ox was sacrificed to him, a serpent crawled up beside the victim, and the king's servants killed it; the king was angered, and Melampus took it and buried it, and its offspring, reared by him, licked his ears and breathed into him the art of prophecy. Therefore, when he was caught stealing the cattle of Iphiclus, he was bound, and when the house in which Iphiclus was was about to fall, he revealed it to the old woman among the servants, and for this favor he was released by Iphiclus. The story is clear.

“recently,” but with acute on the ultima, “the earth.” The sequence of thought is as follows: when he heard that the Argonauts were about to sail, having recently passed through Argos, along which road he was bringing the boar alive from Mount Erymanthus, where it grazed in the glens of Lampeia and Erymanthus, he came to Jason. Lampeia is a mountain of Arcadia, from which the river Erymanthus has its springs.

Idmon, as Pherecydes (3 FGrH 108 J.) relates, was the child of Asteria, daughter of Coronus, and Apollo; from him and Laothoe came Thestor; and from Thestor, Calchas. Idmon was killed in Mariandynia by a boar. That Idmon was the son of Abas, Herodorus (31 FGrH 44 J.) also says.

recounting that when his horses perished, Glaucus came to Lacedaemon and there had intercourse with Panteidyia; later she married Thestius, so that Leda, though by birth Glaucus' daughter, was called Thestius' daughter. Pherecydes in the second book (3 fr. 9 J.) says that Leda and Althaea were born to Thestius from Laophonte, daughter of Pleuron. That she is Glaucus' daughter, Alcman (fr. 8 B.

But Hesiod (fr. 14 Rz.²) says that he changed into one of his customary forms and sat upon the navel of the yoke of Heracles' horses, wishing to engage in battle with the hero, and that Heracles shot him fatally with an arrow when Athena pointed him out. He speaks thus: 'and lordly Periclymenus, blessed, to whom Poseidon the Earth-shaker gave gifts of all kinds: at one time he would appear among birds as an eagle, at another he would become—a wonder to behold—an ant, at another the splendid tribes of bees, at another a dread and pitiless serpent.

c. 〈Parthenian〉 Ancaeus: Aristotle (fr. 530 Rose) says, applying the proverb to Ancaeus, that Ancaeus was fond of farming and planted many vines. When his servant told him that he would die sooner than drink from the fruit of the vine, Ancaeus, when the fruit was ripe, crushed a grape, called the servant, and said that he had lived until the vine bore fruit, and was about to drink. But when the servant said, 'Many things happen between the cup and the lip,' it was reported to him that a boar was ravaging the land; he rushed out against it before drinking and was killed by it. Therefore the proverb prevailed for those who suffer something contrary to expectation. And Pherecydes in the eighth book (3 fr. 36 J.) says that Ancaeus was struck in the thigh by the Calydonian boar and died.

Pytho is a city of Phocis, where the oracle is, so called from inquiring of the oracles (πυνθάνεσθαι) or from the dragon having rotted (σεσῆφθαι) there.

c. Zetes and Calais: they say that these sailed with the Argonauts from different places. For some say from Thrace, as Apollonius; Herodorus (31 FGrH 46 J.) from Daulis; Duris (76 FGrH 86 J.) from the Hyperboreans. Antimachus (fr. 7 B. II 290) also lists them. Phanodicus in the first book of his Deliaca (fr. 1 M. IV 473) says that they came from the Hyperboreans for the voyage. Simonides (fr. 3 B. III 382) says that Orithyia was snatched from Brilessus and carried to the Sarpedonian rock of Thrace; for there is also one of the same name in Cilicia, as Callisthenes (124 FGrH 39 J.) says. Stesichorus in the Geryoneis (fr. 10 B. III 210) says that there is also a certain island in the Atlantic sea called Sarpedonia. Concerning the Thracian Sarpedonian rock, that it is near Mount Haemus, Pherecydes (3 FGrH 145 J.) says, when relating the abduction of Orithyia. Choerilus (fr. 5 Kink.) says that she was snatched while gathering flowers by the springs of Cephisus. Heragoras in his Megarica (fr. 4 M. IV 427) says that the one who snatched Orithyia was Boreas, son of Strymon, not the wind. Orithyia was the daughter of Erechtheus, whom Boreas snatched from Attica and brought to Thrace, and there he lay with her and fathered Zetes and Calais, as Simonides says in the Naumachia (see above). 〈...〉 Phineus first married Cleopatra, daughter of Orithyia, and afterwards Idaea, daughter of Dardanus, who, being hostile to the stepchildren, I mean the sons of Cleopatra, tried to blind them. But they, because their father blinded them after their stepmother slandered them to him.

He took Peleus hunting on Pelion and left him unarmed, so that he would be killed by wild beasts. But Hermes appeared, or, as some say, Chiron, and gave him a Hephaestus-made knife. Killing the beasts he encountered, he returned to the city and killed Acastus himself and Acastus' wife.

But if Pelias was sending them into danger, why did his son go along? And this one says, against his father's will; but Demagetus says that Pelias ordered the Argo to be built with loose bolts, so that it would quickly destroy them; but Argus did the opposite, and Acastus, trusting the builder, went aboard.

From Isonoe, daughter of Danaus and Zeus, was born Orchomenus, after whom the city Orchomenus is named; and from Orchomenus and Hermippe, daughter of Boeotus, was born Minyas — by surname, but in nature son of Poseidon — who lived in Orchomenus, from whom the

This very thing was destined to become an evil for Alcimede, since her son was sent there. The story is found in Hecataeus (1 fr. 17 J.), that the ram spoke. But some say that he sailed on a ram-prowed vessel. Dionysius in his second book (32 fr. 2b J.) says that Crius was Phrixus' foster-father and sailed with him to Colchis; for this reason the story of the ram's sacrifice there was mythologized.

But we shall say that Jason is appropriately placed not according to age, but according to the care of his mother—for the old woman rears the maiden—, as the mother is suited both to helplessness because of age—for old age and tender age are alike—and to needing someone to nourish her.

The song is also appropriate to the present circumstances, because it is fitting to cease from battle and return to one's proper disposition.

to become; whom Apollonius, as is likely, also follows. But Thales (cf. 11 A 12 Diels-Kranz) posited water as the principle of all things, taking it from the poet who says (H 99): 'but may you all become water and earth.' And Zeno (fg 104 Arn.) says that the chaos in Hesiod (Theog. 116 sq.) is water, from the settling of which mud comes to be, and when this solidifies the earth is made firm; and third, Eros came to be according to Hesiod (ib. 120), in order to represent fire; for love is a rather fiery passion. Anaxagoras (cf. 59 A 72 Diels-Kranz) says that the sun is a red-hot mass, from which all things come to be. Therefore Euripides (Or. 983), who was his pupil, says that the sun is a golden clod. And the same Anaxagoras (59 A 77 Diels-Kranz) declares that the moon is a broad land, from which the Nemean lion is thought to have fallen.

516-18b_cont. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-309

To pour wine as a libation. And perhaps this is natural. For since Hermes is traditionally said to be reason, and his instrument is the tongue, which rests when sleep falls, they fittingly sacrifice it to Hermes. And Homer (Od. 3.332): 'But come, cut out the tongues' instead of 'stop your speeches.'

c. Themis is: Dieuchidas in his Megarian History (FGrH 8 M. IV 390) relates that Alcathous, son of Pelops, exiled from Mycenae because of the murder of Chrysippus, was on his way to settle in another city. When he encountered a lion ravaging Megara, against which others had also been sent by the king of Megara, he overcame it and, placing its tongue in a pouch, went back to Megara. And when those sent on the hunt reported that they were the ones who had overcome it, he brought forward the pouch and exposed them. Therefore the king, after sacrificing to the gods, finally placed the tongue on the altars, and from then on this custom remained among the Megarians. Philochorus in his On Sacrifices (FGrH 173 M. I 413) says that it is the finest and foremost part of the body. And Homer (Od. 3.341): 'they cast the tongues into the fire.'

The sequence is as follows: just as young men in Delphi or in Delos or on the Ismenus, having set up a dance around the altar of Apollo, beat the ground with their feet in time to the lyre's melody, so these men, charmed by Orpheus' lyre, drove the ship more vigorously. The sequence is: they strike together. The preposition hypo is derived as in Homer (Iliad 2.824) 'beneath the lowest foot of Ida.'

The meaning is: at daybreak Athos appeared to them, being as far from Lemnos as a ship sailing from dawn until midday would cover. And although Lemnos is so far away, he says, it nevertheless casts a shadow because of its height when the sun declines; and not only that, but even as far as Myrina. Myrina is a city at the end of Lemnos, for Lemnos has two cities: it has Hephaestia and Myrina. It was named after Myrina, the wife of Thoas and daughter of Cretheus.

When those who were at war with the Thracians and took captive concubines from there turned away from their lawful wives because of the goddess's wrath, the women voted to kill their husbands at night.

Mestor and Electryon held the kingship in common. Mestor's daughter was Hippothoe, and by Poseidon she had Pterelaus. Pterelaus' sons were Teleboas and Taphius, from whom the island is named. But according to some, the sons of Teleboas son of Pterelaus were those called Teleboans. They came and demanded from Electryon the property of their grandmother Hippothoe, and when the sons of Electryon opposed them, they were killed by them. So the Teleboans are the Taphians, either because they drove off the cattle from Argos while living far away (tēle), or from Teleboas son of King Pterelaus, whose brother was Taphius, from whom the island is named.

women, and to flowers the heroes, and to a hollow hive the city; but how would the remaining parts not be incongruous, through which he says: the meadow rejoices and exults, although the city grieves, wherefore he says wailing; and again incongruous is 'they pluck the sweet fruit, one at one time, another at another'; for surely each woman was not eager to receive the more warlike of the heroes.

The Cabeiri seem to be named from the Cabeirian mountains in Phrygia, since they were brought from there. Others say that the Cabeiri are two, the elder Zeus, the younger Dionysus.

Samothrace was formerly called Leucosia, as Aristotle relates in the Constitution of Samothrace (fg 538 Rose 1567a 34). Later, from Saos, the son of Hermes and Rhene, it was renamed Samos by insertion of the m. When Thracians settled it, it was called Samothrace.

Apollonius followed Deiochus (see above). But Callisthenes in the first book of the Periplus (124 fg 6 J.) says that the inhabitants of Cyzicus attacked the Argonauts at night out of enmity.

b. χρειώ μιν ἐρέσϑαι: the μιν is singular instead of plural, meaning them, the heroes. But it can also be singular, so that we take it as referring to Amycus: for he—Amycus—had to ask the heroes. Theocritus (XXII 53 sq.) tells the story differently.

32-34a. λώπην: a cloak. The sense: he threw off the black double cloak together with its brooches. λώπην means the leather garment. καλαύροπα is a shepherd's staff. And this is because of the man's harshness and wildness.

52-53a. "straps": the so-called "ants." "Dry" instead of "parched"; hence some say that Arcadia was called not after King Azan, but because Azania is rough; for it is rough and dry.

καὶ τοῦτο βάρβαρον. εἰ γὰρ ὁ κλῆρος τὴν στάσιν λύειν ἐπίσταται

55-56a. "without lot": apart from casting lots. And through this again he shows him arrogant. The phrase "so that you may not blame me afterwards" as if he already trusted victory to himself. And this is barbaric. For if the lot knows how to resolve strife

55-56a-cont. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-957

and to give equal things to each, how would he later be likely to contend against him? For rather now he would have quarreled if he had not been allotted.

b. "you may blame": so that you may not find fault with me later as having received inferior things. For the younger poets understood "atembesthai" not in the sense of "to be deprived", but in the sense of "to blame".

διεκκλινόμενος δὲ ἐκεῖνος ἄτρωτος ἦν. L

70-74a. "like a wave of the sea": just as, he says, a wave rising up strikes a ship, but by the skill of the helmsman who turns it aside the ship escapes, so also Amycus pressed upon him to frighten him, but he, avoiding him, was unwounded. L

c. ᾗ κάρτος ἀάατος καὶ ἀρ〈είων〉: Polydeuces, he says, was watching Amycus to see where he was invulnerable and not easy to attack. Or thus: having observed in what respect he was superior to him and in what respect he was inferior, he withstood him and engaged him in combat. 〈...〉. Courage (ϑάρσος) differs from boldness (ϑράσος): for courage is reasonable, while boldness is with recklessness. So also Aristippus the philosopher.

79-83a. ὡς δ’ ὅτε νήια δοῦρα ϑοοῖς ἀντίξοα γόμφοις: thus planed against each other, so that, when they are brought together opposite each other, they fit together. Or the things placed opposite the wedges; for they put the wedges into the sides of the planks for security. ὑληουργοί are woodcutters and those who work on ships. And just as carpenters fitting ship-timber together strike continuously with hammers on the pegs, and one sound after another arises, so Amycus and Polydeuces struck each other's jaws.

90-93. ἀερϑεὶς βουτύπος οἷα πόδ〈εσσι〉: lifted up. Standing on the tips of his feet, he says, and stretching himself out like an ox-slayer, he brought down his hand; but as he attacked, Polydeuces withstood him and, inclining his head to his shoulder, received the blow on his arm. A βουτύπος is one who strikes the sacrificial oxen with an axe on the neck; he stands on the tips of his toes when about to strike.

98-100a. Nor indeed the Bebryces: Apollonius indicates that Amycus had been killed; but Epicharmus (fr. 7 Kaibel) and Peisander (16 fr. 5 J.) say that Polydeuces bound him. Deiochus in the first book of his work On Cyzicus (fr. 9 M. II 19) says that he was beaten in boxing by Polydeuces. They did not neglect, he says, nor despise Amycus when he had fallen, but because of their barbarous nature they even stirred up war. 'Dry' (azēcheas) means the dry ones, those having a dry sound. The Cyprians call javelins 'sigynnoi'.

105-06. But he himself Itymonea: Polydeuces, leaping upon him with his heel, struck him. 'Lax' is the sound made by the toes of the foot. Or thus: properly the part under the toes of the foot is called 'lax'. Thus Posidonius (Bake 234) also interpreted it in the poet: 'striking with his heel' (Iliad 10.158).

112-13. As far as the skin: up to the skin. 'Hoson' (as much as) instead of 'a little'. The iron passed through the very surface at the place just under the belt, but only on the skin, so as not to touch the internal organs.

115. azaleē: dry, since it is of wood. Homer also knows an iron one (Iliad 7.141): 'but with an iron club'. Some have interpreted 'iron' as 'well-strung', as also (Iliad 17.424): 'an iron din arose'.

116-18. Not yet to evil fate: not yet destined to die. Clytius was the son of Eurytus, brother of Iphitus. 'Dēōsesthai' means to be slain. Ancaeus is an Arcadian by birth, and he says that he was armed with an axe and a bear's hide. 'Thrasys' (bold) is used here in a good sense, not of recklessness.

121. And together they rushed upon him: 'homou' (together) is used both of a gathering and of nearness, as the Athenians are accustomed to use it. Menander (fr. 851 K. III 227): 'the girl arrived at the very moment of giving birth' instead of 'near'.

123-129a. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1004

‘ὡς δὲ λύκοι ἄρνεσσιν ἐπέχραον ἢ ἐρίφοισιν σίνται.’ ἀπείρονα μὲν οὖν φησι τὰ πολλά. πολιοὶ δὲ ἤτοι ὑπότεφροι ἢ ἔντιμοι. τίμιον γὰρ τὸ ζῷον παρ’ Ἀϑηναίοις· ὁ γὰρ ἀποκτείνας λύκον ἀγείρει αὐτῷ τὰ πρὸς τὴν ταφήν. καὶ ἴσως, ἐπεὶ ἡ Λητὼ ἔγκυος οὖσα

123-29a. As when in the folds: just as wolves attacking an unguarded flock are at a loss which to seize first, so the chiefs routed the Bebrycians. Similar to this is the simile in Homer (Il. 16.352-3): 'as wolves, ravenous, fell upon lambs or kids.' He says 'countless' meaning many. 'Grey' means either dark-grey or honored; for the animal is honored among the Athenians: the man who kills a wolf collects for it the means for its burial. And perhaps, since Leto, being pregnant, came to Delos in twelve days after changing into a wolf, therefore at a certain fixed time of the year every she-wolf gives birth in twelve days, as Philostephanus says in his Commentaries (fr. 32 M. III 33).

b. Secretly, of good hides: he says this because on account of the cold both shepherds and dogs sink into the folds; then thus unguarded they harm the sheep. 'Of good hides' means either of good skins—for 'rhinos' is the skin—or <...> properly because they track wild beasts with their noses; therefore hunters take care to lead out the dogs to the hunt before daybreak, so that before the sun rises they may easily track with their noses.

e. Often glancing about: often looking around and with excitement; for 'pamphalan' means to look around with agitation. The word is used also by Hipponax (fr. 131 B. II 498) and Anacreon (fr. 160 B. III 293). Erycius also says: 'glancing everywhere they whirled with their feet.' One must reject Irenaeus (fr. 19 Haupt Opusc. II 439) who writes 'amphaphoōntes' and interprets it as 'killing.' For no one uses the word thus, nor is the poet's reading simply that.

130-31a. As a swarm of bees: because bees flee smoke on account of their narrow sense of smell; which also happens to snakes when deer horn is burned, as Nicander says (Ther. 35 sq.). A swarm is the multitude of bees.

130-31b. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1011

15 b. δίκην μελισσῶν, φησίν, ἔφευγον, αἵτινες καπνισϑεῖσαι ἀφίπτανται. Lg (P)

15b. Like bees, he says, they fled, which when smoked fly away. Lg (P)

132-34a. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1014

132-34a. 'With buzzing' instead of with sound and buzzing. A buzz is the sound of bees, but some say of the †boxynou† so-called bee.

132-34b. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1015

b. λιγνυόεντι: τῷ αἰϑαλώδει. ὁ δὲ λόγος· ἐπιπλέον δὲ τῷ λιγνυώδει καὶ σποδώδει καπνῷ καπνιζόμεναι ὑποχωροῦσι τῶν σίμβλων. σίμβλος δέ ἐστιν, εἰς ὃ τὰ κηρία συνάγεται ἀγγεῖον, ἡ κυψέλη.

b. Smoky: sooty. The sense: furthermore, being smoked by the smoky and ashy smoke they withdraw from the hives. A hive is the vessel into which the honeycombs are gathered, the beehive.

132-34c. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1016

c. καπνῷ τυφόμεναι: ἀντὶ τοῦ καπνιζόμεναι· σημαίνει δὲ καὶ τὸ καιόμεναι. εἰώϑασι δὲ καπνίζειν κόνυζαν· δριμὺς γὰρ μάλιστα ὁ ταύτης καπνός.

c. smoking with smoke: instead of being smoked; it also means being burned. They are accustomed to smoke fleabane; for its smoke is especially pungent.

138-39a. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1017

138—39 a. ἠμὲν ἀλωαί: αἱ ἀμπελόφυτοι χῶραι. οἷαι δὲ αἱ
κῶμαι, διὰ τὸ ἐν αὐταῖς τὰ πρόβατα καὶ τὰ ἄλλα βοτὰ νέμεσϑαι.

138-39a. and the threshing floors: the vine-planted lands. And such are the villages, because in them the sheep and other cattle graze.

140 a. καὶ Μαριανδυνῶν: Φινέως παῖδες ἐκ μὲν Κλεοπάτρας Παρϑένιος καὶ Κάραμβις, ἐκ δὲ Ἰδαίας τῆς Δαρδάνου ἢ Σκυϑικῆς τινος
παλλακίδος Θυνὸς καὶ Μαριανδυνός, ἐξ ὧν τὰ ἔϑνη κέκληνται. οἱ δέ φασι κεκλῆσϑαι τοὺς Μαριανδυνοὺς ἀπὸ Μαριανδυνοῦ υἱοῦ Κιμμερίου.

140a. and of the Mariandynians: Phineus' children from Cleopatra were Parthenius and Carambis, and from Idaea, daughter of Dardanus, or some Scythian concubine, Thynus and Mariandynus, from whom the peoples are named. Others say that the Mariandynians were named after Mariandynus, son of Cimmerius.

140b. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1021

b. ἀπεόντος ἄνακτος: τοῦ Ἀμύκου ἀπόντος, δηλονότι τεϑνηκότος. οἱ δὲ Μαριανδυνοὶ ἔϑνος ὁμοροῦν αὐτοῖς.

b. their lord being absent: Amycus being absent, that is, clearly dead. The Mariandynians are a people bordering on them.

141. σιδηροφόρου περὶ γαίης: τῆς τῶν Χαλύβων· εἰσὶ δὲ
οὗτοι οἱ τὸν σίδηρον ἐργαζόμενοι.

141. around the iron-bearing land: that of the Chalybes; these are the ones who work iron.

142-43a. and they now the steadings: the Argonauts, when the Bebryces had fled, were plundering the dwellings by the sea; and already having driven off many of the flocks, they were cutting them off.

142-43b. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1024

b. περιτροπάδην: περιτρέποντες ὡς ἐπὶ τὴν ναῦν ἐλαύ-

b. in a circle: turning them around as they drove them to the ship. Lg (P)

145-50a. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1025

145—50 a. φράζεσϑ’ ὅττι κεν: ὁ νοῦς· καὶ τί ἂν ἐποίησαν οἱ Βέβρυκες, εἰ καὶ ὁ Ἡρακλῆς μεϑ’ ἡμῶν ἐληλύϑει, οἷον· πῶς ἔφυγον καὶ ἡττήϑησαν; οἶμαι γάρ, ὅτι οὐδὲ ἀγὼν ἂν τῆς πυγμαχίας ἐγένετο, ἀλλὰ προκαλούμενον τὸν Ἄμυκον τότε οἷς συνετίϑει νόμοις ἡμῖν τῷ
ῥοπάλῳ πλήξας ἀνήρηκεν. L

145-50a. consider what: the sense: and what would the Bebryces have done, if Heracles had come with us, that is, how would they have fled and been defeated? For I think that there would not even have been a boxing contest, but he would have struck Amycus, who was challenging us with the rules he was laying down, with his club and killed him. L

151-53. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1028

151—53. ναὶ μὲν ἀκήδεστον: ὁ νοῦς· ἐκεῖνον μέντοι ἀφροντίστως καταλιπόντες — τουτέστι τὸν Ἡρακλέα — ἐπ’ ἀλλοτρίας ἐπλεύ-
σαμεν. ἐκείνου δὲ ἀπόντος ἕκαστος ἡμῶν αἰσϑήσεται ὅσον βεβλάμμεϑα.

151-53. truly uncared for: the sense: him indeed we left without care—that is, Heracles—and sailed on foreign ships. But with him absent, each of us will perceive how much we have been harmed.

154. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1029

154. 〈τάδε πάντα:〉 τὸ ἀπολειφϑῆναι τὸν Ἡρακλέα. Lg

159—60 a. ἐρεψάμενοι δάφνῃ: δάφνῃ ἐστέψαντο δι’ Ἀπόλλωνα. ἐχρῶντο δὲ τῇ στέψει τριχῶς — ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς, ἐπὶ τοῦ μετ-
ώπου, ἐπὶ τοῦ τραχήλου τιϑέμενοι τοὺς στεφάνους — διὰ τὸ τὴν ψυχὴν τριμερῆ εἶναι.

159-60a. having crowned with laurel: they crowned themselves with laurel for Apollo. They used the crowning in three ways—placing the crowns on the head, on the forehead, on the neck—because the soul is tripartite.

159-60b. mvp-tlg5012-tlg001-wendel1935e-com-eng1-1032

b. ξανϑὰ δ’ ἐρεψά〈μενοι〉: στεψάμενοι δὲ ὑπεράνω τῶν μετώπων δάφνῃ τὰς κεφαλάς, ἐξ ἧς δάφνης ἀνημμένα ἦν τὰ σχοινία τῆς νεώς. οὐ ποιητικῶς δὲ ἀνέπλασε τὴν δάφνην ὁ Ἀπολλώνιος, ἀλλ’
ἔστιν ὄντως ἐν τῷ τόπῳ δένδρον δάφνης εὐμέγεϑες, ὡς φησιν Ἀνδροίτας ὁ Τενέδιος ἐν τῷ Περίπλῳ τῆς Προποντίδος (M. IV 304), παριστορῶν, ὅτι Ἄμυκος μὲν καλεῖται τὸ χωρίον, ἔχει δὲ ἐποίκια καὶ νῦν, διέστηκε δὲ τοῦ Χαλκηδονίου νυμφαίου σταδίους ε΄. Ἀπολλόδωρος δὲ ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ τῶν Ποντικῶν (M. IV 309) ἡρῶον αὐτόϑι φησὶν εἶναι Ἀμύκου,
καὶ εἴ τις ἐκ τῆς δάφνης κλάδον λάβοι, εἰς λοιδορίαν ἀνίστησι.

b. and having crowned their blond heads: having crowned their heads above their foreheads with laurel, from which laurel the ropes of the ship were made. Apollonius did not invent the laurel poetically, but there is actually in the place a very large laurel tree, as Androitas of Tenedos says in his Circumnavigation of the Propontis (M. IV 304), noting that the place is called Amycus, and it has settlements even now, and it is five stades distant from the Chalcedonian nymphaeum. Apollodorus in the first book of his Pontica (M. IV 309) says that there is a hero-shrine of Amycus there, and if anyone takes a branch from the laurel, he rises to abuse.

162—63. περὶ δέ σφιν ἰαίνετο: διεχέετο ἡ ἀκτή, καϑ’ ὑπερβολήν, καϑὸ μυϑεύεται ὁ Ὀρφεὺς κηλεῖν καὶ τὰ ἄψυχα. ᾖδον δὲ ἐπινίκιον τῷ Ἀπόλλωνι. Θεραπναῖον δὲ ἀπὸ μέρους τὸν Λάκωνα.
Θεράπναι γὰρ τόπος τῆς Σπάρτης· οἱ δὲ πόλιν, οἱ δὲ Ἀπόλλωνος τόπον ἱερόν.

162-63. περὶ δέ σφιν ἰαίνετο: the shore was spread out, hyperbolically, inasmuch as Orpheus is said to charm even lifeless things. They sang a victory song to Apollo. "Therapnaean" means the Laconian, from a part; for Therapnae is a place in Sparta; some say a city, others a sacred place of Apollo.
