^{page 187 note 1} The non-connective use of which ‘signifies, vividly and dramatically, that something is actually taking place at the moment’ (Denniston, , Greek Particles2, p. 250). Here it would also approximate to ‘already’ (cf.Ibid., p. 252). In defence of the emendation it is perhaps worth noting that the other three occurrences of ) in the poem (ll. I, 5, 50) are datives and all lack the article. At the moment I can find no better parallel for than Reiske's problematical at Eur. Andr. 334 (cf. Denniston, , op. cit., p. 583). Corruption occurs in the opposite direction in Hesych. s.v.

^{page 187 note 2} I postulate an early date for Hymn 2 (c. 273/2). The usual date (c. 250–247) would make this conclusion more obvious.

^{page 187 note 3} Cf. Nilsson, , Gr. Rel., i. 530; Gr. Feste, pp. 105, 116–18.Deubner, , Attische Feste, pp. 191 f., 198–201 discounts the evidence connecting the eiresione also with the Thar-gelia.

^{page 190 note 1} Merkelbach, for example, recalls it in his article on Sappho fr. III (see above).

^{page 190 note 7} Spanheim ad H. 2. 29 already shows a sound approach: ‘Unde conjiciendi foret locus, hausisse id forte Callimachum sub Ptolemaeis et quidem Alexandriae …. e lectione veteris Foederis in Graecam turn linguam ibi a Senioribus conversi…; nisi quod non Apollini quidem, sed Minervae idem plane tribuerat dudum ante Pindarus.’

^{page 190 note 8} I am not forgetting the problem of whether viv is the honorand's father or the commandment or victory (line 17: this last solution has been supported by Burton, R. W. B., Pindar's Pythian Odes [1962], pp. 20f.). Even if Xenokrates is protecting viv by the station at a warrior's right hand, the idea of honour is not excluded.

^{page 191 note 9} Te 51 … tibi 52 … te 54 … tu 56; sine te 61 … sine te 66; quis huic deo / compararier ausit? 64/65, 69/70, 74/75. Cf. Norden, E., Agnostos Theos, pp. 143–63 (esp. 157, n. 3), 349–50; Keyssner, K., Gottesvorstellung und Lebensauffassung im griechischen Hymnus (1932), p. 29.

^{page 191 note 10} Cf. Wheeler, A. L., A.J.Ph. li (1930), 217–22. On p. 218 he draws attention to the recommendations of the rhetoricians, e.g. Menander, (Spengel, , Rhetores Graeci iii. 405 ff.), who advises the orator to ‘exhort the groom and bride’, ‘utter the prayer’, ‘exhort the youths’, ‘summon the hearers … to escort the pair to the wedding chamber'. See also Wheeler, Catullus and the Traditions of Ancient Poetry (Univ. of California Press, 1934), pp. 183–217, esp. 200 ff.

^{page 192 note 1} Ap. Athen. xiv. 622b (Page, Poet. mel. gr., no. 851a). Cf. Ar. Thesm. 39 ff., Meso-medes, , Hymn 2. 1 ff. (Heitsch, , Die gr. Dichter-fragmente der röm. Kaiserzeit i. 25), Eur. Bacch. 69 ff. (cf. 600 ff.).Pindar, , Partheneia 2. 3 ff. (fr. 94b, Snell) is probably similar.

^{page 192 note 2} Asyndeton is common with this con struction in Latin (cf. Ov. Rem. Am. 705 f. Phoebus adest; sonuere lyrae, sonuere pharetrae), perhaps partly because no causal particle with both the metrical advantage and mobility of developed. But it also occurs in Greek, : Kail. H. 5. 1–3, Corp. Herm. xiii. 17 (ii, p. 208, Nock). Cf. Sappho, fr. III.

^{page 192 note 4} That is to say, virgo would suit the epiphany of divinities like Minerva, Diana, or Vesta.

^{page 192 note 5} Cf. among others Friedrich, G., Catiulli Veronensis Liber (1908), p. 269. He cites Ovid, Met. to. 6 f. (on the ill-omened marriage of Orpheus and Eurydice): Fax quoque, quam tenuit (sc. Hymenaeus), lacrimoso stridula fumo / usque fuit nullosque inuenit motibus ignes.

^{page 193 note 1} Whence the descriptions in Ovid, , Met. 15. 634 f., Verg. Aen. 3. 90 f., and Lucan, , Phars. 5. 154 f. (all involving Apollo). Cf. Ovid, , Met. 4. 486, 9. 782 ff.; Ogle, M. B., A.J.Ph. xxxii (1911), 270, n. 2.
