83 Probably the epilepsy. See Herodotus, iii. 33.
84 Euripides, "Bacchae," 203.
85 Euripides, Fragment of the "Melanippe."
86 I take Wyttenbach's suggestion as to the reading here.
87 This line is taken bodily by Aristophanes in his "Frogs," 1244.
88 The first line is the first line of a passage from Euripides, consisting of thirteen lines, containing similar sentiments to this. See Athenæus, xiii. p. 599, F. The last two lines are from Euripides, "Hippolytus," 449, 450.
89 Compare Lucretius, i. 1-5.
90 Hesiod, "Theogony," 116-120.
91 Euripides, "Danae," Frag. Compare Ovid, "Cedit amor rebus: res age, tutus eris."
92 Sophocles, Fragm. 678, Dindorf. Compare a remark of Sophocles, recorded by Cicero, "De Senectute," ch. xiv.
93 Sophocles, Fragm. 720. Reading καλὰ with Reiske.

100 Hermes is alluded to.
101 All these four were titles of Zeus. They are very difficult to put into English so as to convey any distinctive and definite idea to an English reader.

103 From Æschylus, "Supplices," 681, 682.
104 "Iliad," vii. 121, 122.
105 Like the character described in Lucretius, ii. 1-6.
106 Sophocles, "Trachiniae," 497. The Cyprian Queen is, of course, Aphrodite.
107 Hence the famous Proverb, "Non omnibus dormio." See Cic. "Ad. Fam." vii. 24.
108 Above, in § xiii.
109 See Sophocles, "Antigone," 783, 784. And compare Horace, "Odes," Book iv. Ode xiii. 6-8, "Ille virentis et Doctæ psallere Chiæ Pulchris excubat in genis."
110 The "Niobe," which exists only in a few fragments.
111 This was the name of Dionysius' Poem. He was a Corinthian poet.

113 Reading according to the conjecture of Wyttenbach, ὡς τὸν Ἔρωτα υὁνον ἀήττητον ὄντα τῶν στρατηγῶν.
114 Something has probably dropped out here, as Dübner suspects.
115 Fragment from the "Sthenebœa" of Euripides.
116 Anytus was one of the accusers of Socrates, and so one of the causers of his death. So Horace calls Socrates "Anyti reum," "Sat." ii. 4, 3.
