Miscellanea Hesiodea

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 February 2009

Extract

In Proverb. Vat. IV. 3 the proverbial Ἡσιόδειον γῆρας is somewhat darkly explained as follows: Ἀριστοτέλης ἐν Ὀρχομενίων πολιτεία δὶς τετάφθαι φησὶ τὸν Ἡσίοδον καὶ ἐπιγ἗μματος τοῦδε τνχεῖν.

Χαῖρε, δὶς ἠβήσας καὶ δὶς τὰϕον ἀντιβολήσας,

Ἡσίοδ′, ἀνθρώποις μὲτρον ἔχων σοϕίης.

page 127 note 3 This story rests on the authority of the Ὀρχομενίων Πολιτεία and of Philochorus. Clymene, however, may be quite mythical, playing the part of the ‘injured sister’ usual in murder legends: cp.

page 130 note 3 μητιόεντα is significant (as the epithets of Zeus so often are), and is supported by the best evidence (Rzach's Ѕ, Ω, Φ and Proclus): the alternative τερπικέραυνον rests on the testimony of Ψ, Tzetzes and Moschopoulos.
