ALCMAN

52
Apollonius Promovns: The pronoun σέ, ‘thee,’ occurs in
all dialeets —in the Dorian in the form τέ... 182), as

Aleman says, and in the form te:
Thy overcoming shall fall to the lot of Paris.+

Scholiast on the /dimd: Δύσπαρι: that is, ‘valled Paris for
iil, evil Paris’ ; compare Aleman:

Paris-of-ill, Paris-of-dread, an evil unto Greece,
the nurse of heroes.” ,

The Same [even as once thou heardst my voice in prayer]:
He reckons his mother’s prayer (//. 1. 503) as his own. For
it was Achilles who sent Thetis up to Zeus and the prayer is
transferred to him. Similarly Aleman says:

And Cireé once, having anointed the ears of the
comrades of strong-heart Odysseus . . .,
though she did not anoint them herself but charged
Odysseus to anoint them.

Apollonius -fdverbs: Next we must treat of the adverb
ῥᾷ ; compare Aleman :

And prithee who may read with ease the mind of
another ? 3
