In this chapter, the author elaborates the techniques used in musical scenes in Euripides' Helen and details every paragraph from the same. 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. Keywords: Euripides; Helen ; Menelaus; musical scene; punctuated monody; Reunion Duo

πόνοc in general a common word in Greek tragedy, is a cardinal theme in the Heracles . 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. Keywords: Euripides; Greek tragedy; Heracles; labour; toil
ο ο是希腊悲剧中常见的一个词,是《赫拉克勒斯》中的一个重要主题。在戏剧的前半部分,勇士英雄用他的弓,棍棒和其他武器进行的光荣的拯救劳动被回顾性地唤起并进一步上演。但π ο ο也有其阴暗的一面,尤其是在悲剧中表现得尤为突出,它与人类的苦难有关。根据我们所谓的悲剧观点,劳动是人类的普遍命运,以这样或那样的形式;在许多语境中,π π νο可以被翻译为痛苦。这是一种正确的预言,暗示着目前设想的献祭(一种最喜欢的讽刺)和未来对欧律斯透斯的杀戮都是赫拉克勒斯精神错乱的π νοc。关键词:欧里庇得斯;希腊悲剧;赫拉克勒斯;劳动力;辛劳

As described by the ancient metricians, catalexis is a matter of arithmetic rather than rhythm. They develop the idea in their usual way, mechanically and mathematically, adding and subtracting elements, so as to produce ‘brachycatalexis’ and ‘hypercatalexis’. These are now mere metrical-glossary terms, but in catalexismodern metricians have seen a genuine relationship between cola and a rhythmic effect more or less comprehensible even to us. Wilamowitz, T.D. Goodell, and A.M. Dale explore the concept to some extent, but current hand books and general treatises give it only perfunctory and superficial treatment, while casual appearances of the term offer the reader glimpses of a theoretical substructure which hasnot been explicitly and coherently explained

Aristotle's Poetics is a treatise notoriously difficult to understand, largely because of Aristotle's treatment of his theme, with its elliptical thought and loose terminology, but also because Aristotle's influence on subsequent drama and criticism makes it difficult to isolate the original thought from subsequent attempts at implementation or interpretation. However, as Aristotle devotes most of his treatise to tragedy—despite the wider subject he professes—and in discussing tragedy deals most extensively with plot, his views on the tragic plot should be reasonably clear. The passages cited have some importance for the understanding of his views.

A TRANSLATOR, being obliged by the nature of his task to attend to every single successive phrase of his author, however plain the meaning may seem, and to consider the intelligibility of what he renders to the uninitiated, sometimes discovers points of real difficulty which have escaped even the most thorough commentators, or arrives at fresh solutions of old problems. That is my excuse for publishing here a number of detached observations on Herodotus, which have suggested themselves to me while making a new translation during the last four years.

After I had put myself the task of investigating the correctness of the results obtained by Heibges concerning the clausulae of Chariton, I decided to determine the frequency in which the different rhythmical forms appear in the authors of non-rhythmical works. 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.

The sic of this passage is ordinarily taken as meaning, ‘on this condition,’ viz. the condition implied in reddas and serues . 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.

Read just as has been corrected. The rain was still falling. 7. 2. Two points may be urged against the MS. reading. First is an extremely awkward construction, if it means that they gave, not received, the order. In Thucydides the dative is quite rare in this use with passives, except of course with perfect tenses, and the cases in which it most often occurs will not be compared with this by any competent scholar (e.g. ). But special awkwardness arises from the fact that naturally takes a dative of a quite different kind, and that in this sentence such a dative is actually added.
