Philostr. soph. II 4 § 3 a controversia of Antiochos of Aegae: a tyrant having abdicated on the score of weak health, a eunuch, made such by him, slew him and is accused of murder. The accusers rely on the compact under which the tyrant had abdicated; the assassin replies with whom did he make this agreement? with children, women, youths, old men, men; but I have no name in the treaty.'

The adulterer in Lucian Peregr. 9, who, on entrance into manhood, is taken in the act of adultery, is beaten with many stripes, and at last escapes only by leaping from the roof ῥαφανίδι τὴν πυγὴν βεBuouévos, is a paragon of beauty, nature's own handiwork, the ideal (kavúv) of Polykleitos.

Aristot. pol. 11 9 12695 28 sees in the legend an allegory of the chivalrous gallantry of warlike races: cf. Plut. Pelopid. 19 § 2 Harmonia rightly called child of Ares and Aphrodite, for states live in concord when strength is wedded to sweetness. [Plut.] vit. Hom. 101-2 gives a physical interpretation: Aphrodite is the pilía attraction,' Ares the veikos 'repulsion,' of Empedokles; Helios detects them, Hephaestos binds them, Poseidon looses them; i.e. the warm, dry element, and its opposite, the cold and moist, by turns combine and dissolve all things. Harmonia is their daughter, for a due combination of high and low notes produces harmony. Athen. 1. p. 14° (cf. schol. and Eust. Hom. Od. vIII 267) regards Demodokos as curing the voluptuous Phaeakians by a homoeopathic remedy. Many other attempts to escape the difficulty in Eust. and schol. ib. 266369.
