Notes on the current edition
Funeral Oration
1.
The missing passage from
ἤ τίνες to
τῷ πολέμῳ has been tentatively restored by Blass and
Kenyon
to give the following sense:
Neither poets nor philosophers will be in want of words or song in which to celebrate their deeds to
Greece
. Surely this expedition will be more famed in every land than that which overthrew the Phrygians. Throughout all time in every part of
Greece
these exploits will be praised in verse and song. Leosthenes himself and those who perished with him in the war will have a double claim to be revered.
