Both are danked by a small island upon which part of the city is built. This city is well equipped with every convenience. Among famous Mytileneans of more ancient times are Pittacus, one of the Seven Sages, and the poet Alcaeus and his brother Anti- menidas! ... In those days, as the result of dis- sensions, the city was ruled from time to time by tyrants, who form the theme of the Political Songs, as they are called, of Alcaeus. The aforesaid Pittacus, being one of their pad did not escape the abuse of Alcaeus any more than the rest, Myrsilus, Melanchrus, the ΩΝ and. others, although the poet was not free himself of the impu- tation “of playing the revolutionary, while Pittacus made use of the monarchy only as a means of over- throwing arbitrary power and gave the city back its self-government as soon as his object was achieved.

He likens the disturbances caused law the tyrants very literally to stormy weather at sea: I eannot tell the lie of the wind:! one wave rolls from this quarter, another from that. and we are carried in the midst with the black ship. labouring inan exceeding great storm. The water is up to the mast-hole. the sail lets daylight through with the great rents that are in it, and the hi alyards © * ane working loose.® Whe hearing this would not conclude immediavely from the moving sea-imazery that the fear conveyed by the words is fear of the sea on the part of men aboard ship?’ Yet it is not so, for the poet means Mvrsilus and a monarchieal con- spiracy hatehing azainst the ‘My tileneans. And he similarly hints at Myrsilus’ intrigues in another place: Lo now! the wave that is to windward of us eomes this way, and will give us sore labour to bale it out when it breaks over us.

This is told hy Alcaeus in a poem which he sent to his friend Melanippus at Mytilene saving what had happened to him. Strabo Geogruphy: Pittacus of Mytilene sailed against the Athenian general Phrynon and carried on war against him for some time with ill success. It was during this campaign that the poet Aleaeus tells us how, being hard pressed, he threw away his arms and took to flight; and he addresses the following words to a herald whom he bids take tidings to his friends at home: 395 === p418 === LYRA GRAECA [Καρυξ, εἰς ΔΙυτιλάνναν ἐρώταν συθεὶς φιλτάτῳ ΔΙελανίππ' To pa 67 | "AXKaos ados dp οἱ ἔντ ea δ᾽ et κῦτον ἀληκτόξιν " εἰς Γλαυκώπιον ὀγκρέμμασαν ArriKot.® 1224 πρὸς Μελάνιππον Ox.
