Book 15

Paragraph
35

νῦν δὲ τῶν ἀνθρώπων οὐχ αἱ ὀσμαὶ μόνον, ὥς φησιν Κλέαρχος ἐν γʹ περὶ Βίων, ἀλλὰ καὶ αἱ χροιαὶ τρυφερὸν ἔχουσαί τι συνεκθηλύνουσι τοὺς μεταχειριζομένους. ὑμεῖς δὲ οἴεσθε τὴν ἁβρότητα χωρὶς ἀρετῆς ἔχειν τι τρυφερόν; καίτοι Σαπφώ, γυνὴ μὲν πρὸς ἀλήθειαν οὖσα καὶ ποιήτρια, ὅμως ᾐδέσθη τὸ καλὸν τῆς ἁβρότητος ἀφελεῖν λέγουσα ὧδε· ἐγὼ δὲ φίλημʼ ἁβροσύναν, καί μοι τὸ λαμπρὸν ἔρος ἀελίω καὶ τὸ καλὸν λέλογχε, φανερὸν ποιοῦσα πᾶσιν ὡς τοῦ ζῆν ἐπιθυμία τὸ λαμπρὸν καὶ τὸ καλὸν εἶχεν αὐτῇ· ταῦτα δʼ ἐστὶν οἰκεῖα τῆς ἀρετῆς. Παρράσιος δὲ ζωγράφος, καίπερ παρὰ μέλος ὑπὲρ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ τέχνην τρυφήσας καὶ τὸ λεγόμενον ἐλευθέριον ἐκ ῥαβδίων ἔκ τινων ποτηρίων ἑλκύσας, λόγῳ γοῦν ἀντελάβετο τῆς ἀρετῆς, ἐπιγραψάμενος τοῖς ἐν Λίνδῳ πᾶσιν αὑτοῦ ἔργοις· ἁβροδίαιτος ἀνὴρ ἀρετήν τε σέβων τάδʼ ἔγραψεν Παρράσιος. κομψός τις, ὡς ἐμοὶ δοκεῖ, ὑπεραλγήσας ῥυπαίνοντι τὸ τῆς ἀρετῆς ἁβρὸν καὶ καλόν, ἅτε φορτικῶς μετακαλεσαμένῳ εἰς τρυφὴν τὴν δοθεῖσαν ὑπὸ τῆς τύχης χορηγίαν, παρέγραψε τὸ ῥαβδοδίαιτος ἀνήρ. ἀλλʼ ὅμως διὰ τὸ τὴν ἀρετὴν φῆσαι τιμᾶν ἀνεκτέον. ταῦτα μὲν Κλέαρχος. Σοφοκλῆς δʼ ποιητὴς ἐν Κρίσει τῷ δράματι τὴν μὲν Ἀφροδίτην Ἡδονήν τινα οὖσαν δαίμονα μύρῳ τε ἀλειφομένην παράγει καὶ κατοπτριζομένην, τὴν δὲ Ἀθηνᾶν Φρόνησιν οὖσαν καὶ Νοῦν, ἔτι δʼ Ἀρετὴν ἐλαίῳ χριομένην καὶ γυμναζομένην.

CTS URN Retriever

The CTS URN retriever is a tool for retrieving and citing paragraphs, passages, and words in the text of the Deipnosophists by typing the corresponding CTS URN. The Digital Athenaeus is providing the text of the Teubner edition of the Deipnosophists by Georg Kaibel (1887-1890), which is cataloged as perseus-grc2 in the Perseus Catalog.

The syntax of the URNs follows the specification of the CITE Architecture.

For example:

The tool allows also users to type only book and paragraph of the Deipnosophists and get the corresponding CTS URN.

For example:

Correspondences between Casaubon and Kaibel references are available through the Casaubon-Kaibel Reference Converter.

The icons on the left of each paragraph are links to external resources:

Using CTS URNs, it is possible to export citations of the Deipnosophists down to the word level. By selecting a portion of text holding down the ALT-key, users get a pop-up window with the CTS URN that identifies the selected chunk of text.
