The Messengers narrative of the Phantom Helens disappearance had proved to Menelaus that the Helen standing before him is the real Helen, altogether innocent of elopement to Troy, from whom he had been sundered for seventeen laborious years. A favorite technique in such amoibaia gives all the singing to one performer, while the others utterances are either trimeters or such fragments of divided lyric verses. Punctuated monody is defined as follows: the musical passage, as a short or extended unit of composition, begins and ends with the opening and concluding lyrics of the monodist, whose utterances in it are entirely sung framed between the spoken utterances of another actor or the chorus-leader. At several phases, the author incorporates his reconstruction to make the meaning clearer.

In the first half of the play the glorious saving Labours of the warrior Hero with his bow, club and other weaponry are retrospectively evoked and further enacted. But there was a darker aspect of πόνοc, especially prominent in tragedy, which is concerned with the sufferings of humanity. According to what we may call the tragic view, toil is the universal lot of man, in one form or another; and in many contexts πόνοc toils can be translated as afflictions. This is the right kind of proleptic touch, implying that the presently envisaged sacrifice (a favourite kind of irony) and the future killing of Eurystheus are both πόνοc in Heracles deranged mind.

For that purpose I investigated the prose works of Thucydides and Plutarch as carefully and in as specified a form as was possible. This I did with the intention to compare the percentages with those of Heibges. In this comparison, however, I came to the conclusion that the figures for Thucydides and Plutarch differed considerably, and that in such a way that certain conclusions could be drawn concerning the manner in which Plutarch constructed his clausulae according to fixed rules.","PeriodicalId":47185,"journal":{"name":"CLASSICAL QUARTERLY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"1915-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/S0009838800050187","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56743295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But du Mesnil ( Bremer Rundschau , 1885, No. 258) urged that this interpretation was illogical. The fulfilment of the condition implied in reddas involves in itself the realization of the wish expressed in regat , and so makes that wish unnecessary. To this objection two answers have been made. Schutz expresses the opinion that the prayer is for the perpetual enjoyment of the favourable conditions enumerated in verses 1–4. But apart from the unnaturalness of this explanation, it involves the north-west wind as the perpetual attendant of the vessel. This would prevent its easy return to Italy. The other answer is that such ‘matter of fact’ criticism should not be applied to poetry. But to the minds of many (myself among them) this seems a mere evasion of the question at issue. Most students of Horace, I venture to say, are far from satisfied with the traditional interpretation of the passage.","PeriodicalId":47185,"journal":{"name":"CLASSICAL QUARTERLY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"1914-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73177893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
