114. The birds’ king to these kings of ships, on high, 115. — The black sort, and the sort that’s white behind, — 116. Appearing by the palace, on the spear-throw side, 117. In right sky-regions, visible far and wide, — 118. Devouring a hare-creature, great with young, 119. Baulked of more racings they, as she from whom they sprung! 120. Ah, Linos, say — ah, Linos, song of wail!
135. 205. Then did the king, the elder, speak this clear. 217. 218. But when he underwent necessity’s 219. Yoke-trace, — from soul blowing unhallowed change 220. Unclean, abominable, — thence—another man — 221. Its wildest range. 221. The audacious mind of him began 222. For this it is gives mortals hardihood — 223. of madness, and first woe of all the brood. 223. Some vice-devising miserable mood 224. The sacrificer of his daughter — strange! — 225. He dared become, to expedite 226. Woman-avenging warfare, — anchors weighed 227. With such prelusive rite! 228. Prayings and callings 250. To know the future woe preponderate.
250. True, justice makes, in sufferers, a desire 251. But — hear before is need? 251. To that, farewell and welcome! ’t is the same, indeed,
452. But some there, round the rampart, have 453. In Ilian earth, each one his grave: 454. All fair-formed as at birth, 455. It hid them — what they have and hold — the hostile earth.
782. Approach then, my monarch, of 799. But now — from no outside of mind, nor unlovingly — gracious thou art 800. To those who have ended the labour, fulfilling their part; 801. And in time shalt thou know, by inquiry instructed, 802. Who of citizens justly, and who not to purpose, the city conducted. AGAMEMNON.

841. While just Odusseus — he who sailed not willing —
855. Men, citizens, Argeians here, my worships! 856. I shall not shame me, consort-loving manners 857. To tell before you: for in time there dies off 858. The diffidence from people. Not from others 859. Learning, I of myself will tell the hard life 860. I bore so long as this man was ’neath 895. Now, all this having suffered, from soul grief-free 896. I would style this man here the dog o’ the stables, 897. The saviour forestay of the ship, the high roof’s 898. Ground-prop, son sole-begotten to his father, 899. — Ay, land appearing to the sailors past hope, 900. Loveliest day to see after a tempest, 901. To the wayfaring-one athirst a well-spring, 902. — The joy, in short, of ’scaping all that ’s — fatal! 903. I judge him worth addresses such as these are 904. — Envy stand off! — for many those old evils 905. We underwent. And now, to me — dear headship! — 906. Dismount thou from this car, not earthward setting 907. The foot of thine, O king, that’s 918. And for the rest, —-not me, in woman’s fashion, 919. Mollify, nor — as mode of barbarous man is —
925. I say — as man, not god, to me do homage!
927. Renown is loud, and — not to lose one’s senses,
1019. Who may, by singing spells, call back? ' 1020. Zeus had not else stopped one who rightly knew 1021. The way to bring the dead again.
1035. Take thyself in, thou too — I say, Kassandra! 1036. Since Zeus — not angrily—in household placed thee 1037. Partaker of hand-sprinklings, with the many 1038. Slaves stationed, his the Owner’s altar close to.
1054. Obey thou, leaving this thy car-enthronement! KLUTAIMNESTRA. 1055. Well, with this thing at door, for me no leisure 1056. To waste time: as concerns the hearth mid-navelled, 1057. Already stand the sheep for fireside slaying
1107. Ah, unhappy one, this thou consummatest?
1107. Thy husband, thy bed’s common guest, 1108. In the bath having brightened. .. How shall I declare 1109. Consummation? It soon will be there: 1110. For hand after hand she outstretches, 1111. At life as she reaches! CHOROS. 1
114. Eh, eh, papai, papai, 1
114. What this, I espy? 1115. Some net of Haides undoubtedly 1116. In his bed, who takes part in the murder there! 1116. Is she who has share 1116. Nay, rather, the snare
1118. A victim — by stoning —
1118. For murder atoning! CHOROS.
1118. Sacrificial, about
1125. How! How!
1125. Keep the bull from the cow!
1125. See — see quick! 1126. In the vesture she catching him, strikes him now 1127. With the black-horned trick, 1128. And he falls in the watery vase!
1228. Knows not what things the tongue of the lewd she-dog 1229. Speaking, outspreading, shiny-souled, in fashion 1230. of Até hid, will reach to, by ill fortune! 1231. Such things she dares — the female, the male’s slayer! 1232. She is . . . how calling her the hateful bite-beast 1233. May I hit the mark? Some amphisbaina, — Skulla 1234. Housing in rocks, of mariners the mischief, 1235. Revelling Haides’ mother, — curse, no truce with, 1236. Breathing at friends! How piously she shouted, 1237. The all-courageous, as at turn of battle! 1238. She seems to joy at the back-bringing safety!
1322. Yet once for all, to speak a speech, I fain am: 1323. No dirge, mine for myself! The sun I pray to,
1343. Ah me! I am struck — a right-aimed stroke within me! CHOROS.

1353. Vote — to do something: not to wait — the main point! CHOROS 4.

1356. For we waste time; while they, — this waiting’s glory
1357. Treading to ground, — allow the hand no slumber. CHOROS 6.
1382. A wrap-round with no outlet, as for fishes, 1383. I fence about him — the rich woe of the garment:
1389. And blowing forth a brisk blood-spatter, strikes me 1390. With the dark drop of slaughterous dew — rejoicing
1420. — Pollution’s penalty? But hearing mzy deeds
1432. By who fulfilled things for my daughter, Justice, 1433. Até, Erinus, — by whose help I slew him, —
1441. And couchmate of this man, oracle-speaker, 1442. Faithful bed-fellow, — ay, the sailors’ benches
1577. O light propitious of day justice-bringing! 1578. I may say truly, now, that men’s avengers, 1579. The gods from high, of earth behold the sorrows — 1580. Seeing, as I have, i’ the spun robes of the Erinues, 1581. This man here lying, — sight to me how pleasant! — 1582. His father’s hands’ contrivances repaying. 1583. For Atreus, this land’s lord, of this man father, 1584. Thuestes, my own father — to speak clearly — 1585. His brother too, — being i’ the rule contested, — 1586. Drove forth to exile from both town and household: 1587. And, coming back, to the hearth turned, a suppliant, 1588. Wretched Thuestes found the fate assured him 1589. — Not to die, bloodying his paternal threshold 1590. Just there: but host-wise this man’s impious father 1591. Atreus, soul-keenly more than kindly, — seeming 1592. To joyous hold a flesh-day, — to my father 1593. Served up a meal, the flesh of his own children. 1594. The feet indeed and the hands’ top divisions 1595. He hid, high up and isolated sitting: 1596. But, their unshowing parts in ignorance taking, 1597. He forthwith eats food — as thou seest — perdition 1598. To the race: and then, ’ware of the deed ill-omened, 1599. He shrieked O! — falls back, vomiting, from the carnage, 1600. And fate on the Pelopidai past bearing 1601. He prays down — putting in his curse together 1601. The kicking down o’ the feast — that so might perish 1602. The race of Pleisthenes entire: and thence is 1603. That it is given thee to see this man prostrate. 1604. And I was rightly of this slaughter stitch-man: 1605. Since me, — being third from ten, — with my poor father 1606. He drives out — being then a babe in swathe-bands: 1607. But, grown up, back again has justice brought me: 1608. And of this man I got hold — being without-doors — 1609. Fitting together the whole scheme of ill-will. 1610. So, sweet, in fine, even to die were to me, 1611.

32. For with a hair-raising shriek, Terror, the diviner of dreams for our house, breathing wrath out of sleep, uttered a cry of terror in the dead of night from the heart of the palace, 35. a cry that fell heavily on the women’s quarter. And the readers of these dreams, bound under pledge, cried out from the god that those 40. beneath the earth cast furious reproaches and rage against their murderers. Chorus
59. The awe of majesty once unconquered, unvanquished, irresistible in war, that penetrated the ears and heart of the people, is now cast off. But there is still fear. And prosperity—this, 60. among mortals, is a god and more than a god. But the balance of Justice keeps watch: swiftly it descends on those in the light; sometimes pain waits for those who linger on the frontier of twilight; 65. and others are claimed by strengthless night. Chorus
84. You handmaidens who set our house in order, since you are here as my attendants in this rite of supplication, 85. give me your counsel on this: what should I say while I pour these offerings of sorrow? How shall I find gracious words, how shall I entreat my father? Shall I say that I bring these offerings to a loved husband from a loving 90. wife—from my own mother? I do not have the assurance for that, nor do I know what I should say as I pour this libation onto my father’s tomb. Or shall I speak the words that men are accustomed to use: 95. a gift, indeed, to match their evil? Or, in silence and dishonor, even as my father perished, shall I pour them out for the earth to drink and then retrace my steps, like one who carries refuse away from a rite, hurling the vessel from me with averted eyes? 100. In this, my friends, be my fellow-counsellors. For we cherish a common hatred within our house. Do not hide your counsel in your hearts in fear of anyone. For the portion of fate awaits both the free man and the man enslaved by another’s hand.'101. In this, my friends, be my fellow-counsellors. For we cherish a common hatred within our house. Do not hide your counsel in your hearts in fear of anyone. For the portion of fate awaits both the free man and the man enslaved by another’s hand. 105. If you have a better course to urge, speak! Chorus 106. In reverence for your father’s tomb, as if it were an altar, I will speak my thoughts from the heart, since you command me. Electra 108. Speak, even as you revere my father’s grave. Chorus 109. While you pour, utter benedictions for loyal hearts. Electra 110. And to whom of those dear to me should I address them? Chorus 111. First to yourself, then to whoever hates Aegisthus. Electra 112. Then for myself and for you also shall I make this prayer? Chorus 113. That is for you, using your judgment, to consider now for yourself. Electra 114. Then whom else should I add to our company? Chorus 115. Remember Orestes, though he is still away from home. Electra 116. Well said! You have indeed admonished me thoughtfully. Chorus 117. For the guilty murderers now, mindful of— Electra 118. What should I say? Instruct my inexperience, prescribe the form. Chorus 119. Pray that some divinity or some mortal may come to them— Electra 120. As judge or as avenger, do you mean? Chorus 121. Say in plain speech, Electra 122. And is it right for me to ask this of the gods? Chorus 123. How could it not be right to repay an enemy with ills? Electra 124. Supreme herald of the realm above and the realm below, O Hermes of the nether world, come to my aid, 125. ummon to me the spirits beneath the earth to hear my prayers, spirits that watch over my father’s house, and Earth herself, who gives birth to all things, and having nurtured them receives their increase in turn. And meanwhile, as I pour these lustral offerings to the dead, 130. I invoke my father: 131. I invoke my father: 140. I utter these prayers on our behalf, but I ask that your avenger appear to our foes, father, and that your killers may be killed in just retribution. 145. Such are my prayers, and over them I pour out these libations. 150. It is right for you to crown them with lamentations, raising your voices in a chant for the dead. Chorus 152. Pour forth your tears, splashing as they fall for our fallen lord, to accompany this protection against evil, this charm for the good 155. against the loathsome pollution. Hear me, oh hear me, my honored lord, out of the darkness of your spirit. Woe, woe, woe! Oh for 160. a man mighty with the spear to deliver our house, an Ares, brandishing in the fight the springing Scythian bow and wielding his hilted sword in close combat. As they conclude, Electra discovers the lock of Orestes’ hair Electra
260. nor, if this royal stock should wither utterly away, will it serve your altars on days when oxen are sacrificed. Oh foster it, and you may raise our house from low estate to great, though now it seems utterly overthrown. Chorus
269. Surely he will not abandon me, the mighty oracle of Loxias, 270. who urged me to brave this peril to the end and loudly proclaims calamities that chill the warmth of my heart, if I do not take vengeance on my father’s murderers. He said that, 275. I should pay the debt myself with my own life, after many grievous sufferings. For he spoke revealing to mortals the wrath of maligt powers from underneath the earth, and telling of plagues: 280. leprous ulcers that mount with fierce fangs on the flesh and eat away its primal nature; and how a white down306. You mighty Fates, through the power of Zeus grant fulfilment in the way to which Justice now turns. 311. Justice cries out as she exacts the debt, Orestes 315. O father, unhappy father, by what word or deed of mine can I succeed in sailing from far away to you, where your resting-place holds you, a light to oppose your darkness?

320. Yet a lament in honor of the Atreidae who once possessed our house is none the less a joyous service. Chorus

324. My child, the fire’s ravening jaw does not overwhelm the wits of the dead man,
325. but afterwards he reveals what stirs him. The murdered man has his dirge; the guilty man is revealed. Justified lament for fathers and for parents, 330. when raised loud and strong, makes its search everywhere. Electra
345. Ah, my father, if only beneath 400. And it is the eternal rule that drops of blood spilled on the ground demand yet more blood. Murder cries out on the Fury, which from those killed before brings one ruin in the wake of another. Orestes
429. Away with you, cruel 430. and utterly brazen mother! You dared to give your husband a most cruel burial: unmourned, without lamentation, a king unattended by his people. Orestes
438. Yet with the help of the gods, and with the help of my own hands, will she not atone for the dishonor she did my father? Let me only take her life, then let me die! Chorus 439. Yes, and I would have you know he was brutally mangled.456. Father, I call on you; side with your loved ones! Electra 457. And I in tears join my voice to his. Chorus 458. And let all our company blend our voices to echo the prayer. Hear! Come to the light! 460. Side with us against the foe! Orestes 461. Ares will encounter Ares; Right will encounter Right. Electra 462. O you gods, judge rightly the plea of right! Chorus 463. A shudder steals over me as I hear these prayers. Doom has long been waiting, 465. but it will come in answer to those who pray. Chorus
494. And in a fabric shamefully devised. Orestes
517. he came to send her libations, seeking too late to make amends for an irremediable deed. They would be a sorry gift to send to the senseless dead: I cannot guess what they mean. The gifts are too paltry for her offence.
523. I know, my child, for I was there. It was because she was shaken by dreams and wandering terrors of the night 525. that she sent these offerings, godless woman that she is. Orestes 526. And have you learned the nature of the dream so as to tell it properly? Chorus 527. She dreamed she gave birth to a serpent: that is her own account. Orestes 528. And where does the tale end, and what is its consummation? Chorus 529. She laid it to rest as if it were a child, in swaddling clothes. Orestes 530. What food did it crave, the newborn viper? Chorus 531. In her dream she offered it her own breast. Orestes 5
32. Surely her nipple was not unwounded by the loathsome beast? Chorus 533. No: it drew in clotted blood with the milk. Orestes 534. Truly it is not without meaning: the vision signifies a man! Chorus 535. Then from out of her sleep she raised a shriek and awoke appalled, and many lamps that had been blinded in the darkness flared up in the house to cheer our mistress. Then she sent these libations for the dead in the hope that they might be an effective cure for her distress. Orestes 540. Well then, I pray to this earth and to my father’s grave that this dream may come to its fulfilment in me. As I understand it, it fits at every point. For if the snake left the same place as I; if it was furnished with my swaddling clothes; 545. if it sought to open its mouth to take the breast that nourished me and mixed the sweet milk with clotted blood while she shrieked for terror at this, then surely, as she has nourished a portentous thing of horror, she must die by violence. For I, turned serpent, 550. am her killer, as this dream declares. Chorus 551. I choose your reading of this portent. Let it be so. As for the rest, give your friends their parts. Tell some what to do, others what to leave undone. Orestes '. None

1.32. Thus Solon granted second place in happiness to these men. Croesus was vexed and said, “My Athenian guest, do you so much despise our happiness that you do not even make us worth as much as common men?” Solon replied, “Croesus, you ask me about human affairs, and I know that the divine is entirely grudging and troublesome to us. ,In a long span of time it is possible to see many things that you do not want to, and to suffer them, too. I set the limit of a man's life at seventy years; ,these seventy years have twenty-five thousand, two hundred days, leaving out the intercalary month. But if you make every other year longer by one month, so that the seasons agree opportunely, then there are thirty-five intercalary months during the seventy years, and from these months there are one thousand fifty days. ,Out of all these days in the seventy years, all twenty-six thousand, two hundred and fifty of them, not one brings anything at all like another. So, Croesus, man is entirely chance. ,To me you seem to be very rich and to be king of many people, but I cannot answer your question before I learn that you ended your life well. The very rich man is not more fortunate than the man who has only his daily needs, unless he chances to end his life with all well. Many very rich men are unfortunate, many of moderate means are lucky. ,The man who is very rich but unfortunate surpasses the lucky man in only two ways, while the lucky surpasses the rich but unfortunate in many. The rich man is more capable of fulfilling his appetites and of bearing a great disaster that falls upon him, and it is in these ways that he surpasses the other. The lucky man is not so able to support disaster or appetite as is the rich man, but his luck keeps these things away from him, and he is free from deformity and disease, has no experience of evils, and has fine children and good looks. ,If besides all this he ends his life well, then he is the one whom you seek, the one worthy to be called fortunate. But refrain from calling him fortunate before he dies; call him lucky. ,It is impossible for one who is only human to obtain all these things at the same time, just as no land is self-sufficient in what it produces. Each country has one thing but lacks another; whichever has the most is the best. Just so no human being is self-sufficient; each person has one thing but lacks another. ,Whoever passes through life with the most and then dies agreeably is the one who, in my opinion, O King, deserves to bear this name. It is necessary to see how the end of every affair turns out, for the god promises fortune to many people and then utterly ruins them.” " "
1.34. But after Solon's departure divine retribution fell heavily on Croesus; as I guess, because he supposed himself to be blessed beyond all other men. Directly, as he slept, he had a dream, which showed him the truth of the evil things which were going to happen concerning his son. ,He had two sons, one of whom was ruined, for he was mute, but the other, whose name was Atys, was by far the best in every way of all of his peers. The dream showed this Atys to Croesus, how he would lose him struck and killed by a spear of iron. ,So Croesus, after he awoke and considered, being frightened by the dream, brought in a wife for his son, and although Atys was accustomed to command the Lydian armies, Croesus now would not send him out on any such enterprise, while he took the javelins and spears and all such things that men use for war from the men's apartments and piled them in his store room, lest one should fall on his son from where it hung. " "
1.108. But during the first year that Mandane was married to Cambyses, Astyages saw a second vision. He dreamed that a vine grew out of the genitals of this daughter, and that the vine covered the whole of Asia . ,Having seen this vision, and communicated it to the interpreters of dreams, he sent to the Persians for his daughter, who was about to give birth, and when she arrived kept her guarded, meaning to kill whatever child she bore: for the interpreters declared that the meaning of his dream was that his daughter's offspring would rule in his place. ,Anxious to prevent this, Astyages, when Cyrus was born, summoned Harpagus, a man of his household who was his most faithful servant among the Medes and was administrator of all that was his, and he said: ,“Harpagus, whatever business I turn over to you, do not mishandle it, and do not leave me out of account and, giving others preference, trip over your own feet afterwards. Take the child that Mandane bore, and carry him to your house, and kill him; and then bury him however you like.” ,“O King,” Harpagus answered, “never yet have you noticed anything displeasing in your man; and I shall be careful in the future, too, not to err in what concerns you. If it is your will that this be done, then my concern ought to be to attend to it scrupulously.” " '

1.6. Wars worse than civil on Emathian plains, And crime let loose we sing; how Rome's high race Plunged in her vitals her victorious sword; Armies akin embattled, with the force of all the shaken earth bent on the fray; And burst asunder, to the common guilt, A kingdom's compact; eagle with eagle met, Standard to standard, spear opposed to spear. Whence, citizens, this rage, this boundless lust " "

For while Rome doubted and the tongues of men Spoke of the chiefs who won them rights of yore, The hostile Senate, in contempt of right, Drove out the Tribunes.

Him sleepless did he find, not for himself Fearing, but pondering the fates of Rome, And deep in public cares. And thus he spake: " "
2.319. That such a citizen has joined the war? Glad would he see thee e'en in Magnus' tents; For Cato's conduct shall approve his own. Pompeius, with the Consul in his ranks, And half the Senate and the other chiefs, Vexes my spirit; and should Cato too Bend to a master's yoke, in all the world The one man free is Caesar. But if thou For freedom and thy country's laws alone Be pleased to raise the sword, nor Magnus then " '2.320. Nor Caesar shall in Brutus find a foe.

Caesar, in rage for war, rejoicing found Foes in Italia; no bloodless steps Nor vacant homes had pleased him; so his march Were wasted: now the coming war was joined " "2.500. Unbroken to the past; to force the gates Not find them open, fire and sword to bring Upon the harvests, not through fields unharmed To pass his legions — this was Caesar's joy; In peaceful guise to march, this was his shame.

They place upon the turrets. Magnus most The people's favour held, yet faith with fear Fought in their breasts. As when, with strident blast, A southern tempest has possessed the main And all the billows follow in its track: Then, by the Storm-king smitten, should the earth Set Eurus free upon the swollen deep, It shall not yield to him, though cloud and sky Confess his strength; but in the former wind Still find its master. But their fears prevailed, " "2.520. And Caesar's fortune, o'er their wavering faith. For Libo fled Etruria; Umbria lost Her freedom, driving Thermus from her bounds; Great Sulla's son, unworthy of his sire, Feared at the name of Caesar: Varus sought The caves and woods, when smote the hostile horseThe gates of Auximon; and Spinther driven From Asculum, the victor on his track, Fled with his standards, soldierless; and thou, Scipio, did'st leave Nuceria's citadel " "

82.4. Do you ask who are my pacemakers? One is enough for me, – the slave Pharius, a pleasant fellow, as you know; but I shall exchange him for another. At my time of life I need one who is of still more tender years. Pharius, at any rate, says that he and I are at the same period of life; for we are both losing our teeth.3 Yet even now I can scarcely follow his pace as he runs, and within a very short time I shall not be able to follow him at all; so you see what profit we get from daily exercise. Very soon does a wide interval open between two persons who travel different ways. My slave is climbing up at the very moment when I am coming down, and you surely know how much quicker the latter is. Nay, I was wrong; for now my life is not coming down; it is falling outright.
82.4. What then is the advantage of retirement? As if the real causes of our anxieties did not follow us across the seas! What hiding-place is there, where the fear of death does not enter? What peaceful haunts are there, so fortified and so far withdrawn that pain does not fill them with fear? Wherever you hide yourself, human ills will make an uproar all around. There are many external things which compass us about, to deceive us or to weigh upon us; there are many things within which, even amid solitude, fret and ferment. 82.5. Do you ask, for all that, how our race resulted to-day? We raced to a tie,4– something which rarely happens in a running contest. After tiring myself out in this way (for I cannot call it exercise), I took a cold bath; this, at my house, means just short of hot. I, the former cold-water enthusiast, who used to celebrate the new year by taking a plunge into the canal, who, just as naturally as I would set out to do some reading or writing, or to compose a speech, used to inaugurate the first of the year with a plunge into the Virgo aqueduct,5 have changed my allegiance, first to the Tiber, and then to my favourite tank, which is warmed only by the sun, at times when I am most robust and when there is not a flaw in my bodily processes. I have very little energy left for bathing. '82.5. Therefore, gird yourself about with philosophy, an impregnable wall. Though it be assaulted by many engines, Fortune can find no passage into it. The soul stands on unassailable ground, if it has abandoned external things; it is independent in its own fortress; and every weapon that is hurled falls short of the mark. Fortune has not the long reach with which we credit her; she can seize none except him that clings to her. '. None

Πατρεῖς δὲ οἱ Ἀχαιοὶ λόγῳ μὲν λέγουσιν ὅτι Ἡφαίστου ποίημά ἐστιν ἡ λάρναξ ἣν Εὐρύπυλος ἤνεγκεν ἐξ Ἰλίου, ἔργῳ δὲ οὐ παρέχουσιν αὐτὴν θεάσασθαι. ἔστι δὲ Ἀμαθοῦς ἐν Κύπρῳ πόλις, Ἀδώνιδος ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ Ἀφροδίτης ἱερόν ἐστιν ἀρχαῖον· ἀνακεῖσθαι δὲ ἐνταῦθα λέγουσιν ὅρμον Ἁρμονίᾳ μὲν δοθέντα ἐξ ἀρχῆς, καλούμενον δὲ Ἐριφύλης, ὅτι αὐτὴ δῶρον ἔλαβεν ἐπὶ τῷ ἀνδρί· ὃν ἀνέθεσαν μὲν οἱ παῖδες ἐς Δελφοὺς οἱ Φηγέως—τρόπον δὲ ὅντινα ἐκτήσαντο αὐτόν, ἐδήλωσεν ἤδη μοι τὰ ἐς Ἀρκάδας ἔχοντα—, ἐσυλήθη δὲ ὑπὸ τυράννων τῶν ἐν Φωκεῦσιν. 9.41.3. οὐ μὴν παρὰ Ἀμαθουσίοις γε ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ τοῦ Ἀδώνιδος ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν ἐστίν· ἐν Ἀμαθοῦντι μὲν γάρ ἐστι λίθοι χλωροὶ συνδέοντος χρυσοῦ σφᾶς ὁ ὅρμος, τὸν δὲ τῇ Ἐριφύλῃ δοθέντα Ὅμηρός φησιν ἐν Ὀδυσσείᾳ πεποιῆσθαι χρυσοῦ, καὶ οὕτως ἔχει· ἣ χρυσὸν φίλου ἀνδρὸς ἐδέξατο τιμήεντα. Hom. Od. 11.327 9.41.4. οὐ μὲν οὐδὲ ἠγνόει τοὺς ὅρμους τοὺς ποικίλους· ἐν μέν γε τοῖς Εὐμαίου λόγοις πρὸς Ὀδυσσέα, πρὶν ἢ ἐκ Πύλου Τηλέμαχον ἀφικέσθαι σφίσιν ἐπὶ τὴν αὐλήν, ἐν τούτοις τοῖς λόγοις ἐστὶν ἤλυθʼ ἀνὴρ πολύιδρις ἐμοῦ πρὸς δώματα πατρός χρύσεον ὅρμον ἔχων, μετὰ δʼ ἠλέκτροισιν ἔερτο, Hom. Od. 15.459 9.41.5. καὶ ἐν Πηνελόπης δώροις—ἄλλους τε γὰρ τῶν μνηστήρων δῶρα καὶ Εὐρύμαχον διδόντα Πηνελόπῃ πεποίηκεν— ὅρμον δʼ Εὐρύμαχος πολυδαίδαλον αὐτίκʼ ἔνεικε χρύσεον, ἠλέκτροισιν ἐερμένον, ἠέλιον ὥς· Hom. Od. 18.295 Ἐριφύλην δὲ οὐ χρυσῷ καὶ λίθοις ποικίλον δέξασθαί φησιν ὅρμον. οὕτω τὸ εἰκὸς τῷ σκήπτρῳ πρόσεστιν εἶναι μόνον ποίημα Ἡφαίστου.
10.31.2. ἐς δὲ τὸ αὐτὸ ἐπίτηδες τοῦ Ὀδυσσέως τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἤγαγεν ὁ Πολύγνωτος· ἀφίκετο δὲ ἐς Ὀδυσσέως δυσμένειαν ὁ τοῦ Ὀιλέως Αἴας, ὅτι τοῖς Ἕλλησιν Ὀδυσσεὺς παρῄνει καταλιθῶσαι τὸν Αἴαντα ἐπὶ τῷ ἐς Κασσάνδραν τολμήματι· Παλαμήδην δὲ ἀποπνιγῆναι προελθόντα ἐπὶ ἰχθύων θήραν, Διομήδην δὲ τὸν ἀποκτείναντα εἶναι καὶ Ὀδυσσέα ἐπιλεξάμενος ἐν ἔπεσιν οἶδα τοῖς Κυπρίοις.''.

5.24.11. Homer proves this point clearly. For the boar, on the slices of which Agamemnon swore that verily Briseis had not lain with him, Homer says was thrown by the herald into the sea. He spake, and cut the boar's throat with ruthless bronze; And the boar Talthybius swung and cast into the great depth of the grey sea, to feed the fishes. Hom. Il. 19.266-268 Such was the ancient custom. Before the feet of the Oath-god is a bronze plate, with elegiac verses inscribed upon it, the object of which is to strike fear into those who forswear themselves. " '
9.41.2. The Achaeans of Patrae assert indeed that Hephaestus made the chest brought by Eurypylus from Troy, but they do not actually exhibit it to view. In Cyprus is a city Amathus, in which is an old sanctuary of Adonis and Aphrodite. Here they say is dedicated a necklace given originally to Harmonia, but called the necklace of Eriphyle, because it was the bribe she took to betray her husband. It was dedicated at Delphi by the sons of Phegeus (how they got it I have already related in my history of Arcadia ), See Paus. 8.24.10 . but it was carried off by the tyrants of Phocis . 9.41.3. However, I do not think that it is in the sanctuary of Adonis at Amathus . For the necklace at Amathus is composed of green stones held together by gold, but the necklace given to Eriphyle was made entirely of gold, according to Homer, who says in the Odyssey :— Who received precious gold, the price of her own husband. Hom. Od. 11.327 Not that Homer was unaware of necklaces made of various materials. 9.41.4. For example, in the speech of Eumaeus to Odysseus before Telemachus reaches the court from Pylus, he says:— There came a cunning man to the home of my father, With a necklace of gold strung with amber in between. Hom. Od. 15.459 9.41.5. Again, in the passage called the gifts of Penelope, for he represents the wooers, Eurymachus among them, offering her gifts, he says:— And Eurymachus straightway brought a necklace of varied materials, of gold strung with pieces of amber, like the sun. Hom. Od. 18.295 But Homer does not say that the necklace given to Eriphyle was of gold varied with stones. So probably the scepter is the only work of Hephaestus.
10.31.2. Polygnotus has intentionally gathered into one group the enemies of Odysseus. Ajax, son of Oileus, conceived a hatred of Odysseus, because Odysseus urged the Greeks to stone him for the outrage on Cassandra. Palamedes, as I know from reading the epic poem Cypria, was drowned when he put out to catch fish, and his murderers were Diomedes and Odysseus.'". None
