Paragraph
11

διότι δὲ οὐ πιθανὸν ἀκρόαμα παρὰ τῷ Μενελάῳ τυγχάνειν δῆλον ἐκ τοῦ διʼ ὁμιλίας ὅλον τὸ συμπόσιον περαίνεσθαι τῆς πρὸς ἀλλήλους, ὄνομα δὲ μηδὲν εἰρῆσθαι τοῦ ᾠδοῦ μηδὲ ᾠδὴν ἣν ᾖδε μηδὲ προσέχειν τοὺς περὶ Τηλέμαχον αὐτῷ, καθάπερ δʼ ἐν σιωπῇ τινι καὶ ἠρεμίᾳ κατανοεῖν μᾶλλον τὸν οἶκον· καίτοι γε πῶς οὐκ ἀπίθανον τοὺς τῶν φρονιμωτάτων υἱέας Ὀδυσσέως καὶ Νέστορος ἐπαριστέρους εἰσάγεσθαι, ὥστε τρόπον ἀγροίκων τινῶν μὴ προσέχειν τοῖς παρεσκευασμένοις ἀκροάμασιν; γοῦν Ὀδυσσεὺς προσέχει τοῖς τῶν Φαιάκων ᾀσματοποιοῖς· αὐτὰρ Ὀδυσσεὺς μαρμαρυγὰς θηεῖτο ποδῶν, θαύμαζε δὲ θυμῷ, καίπερ ἔχων πολλὰ τὰ περιέλκοντα καὶ δυνάμενος εἰπεῖν· κήδεά μοι καὶ μᾶλλον ἐνὶ φρεσὶν ἤπερ ἀοιδαί. πῶς οὖν οὐκ ἂν ἀβέλτερος εἴη Τηλέμαχος ᾠδοῦ παρόντος καὶ κυβιστητῆρος προσκύπτων πρὸς τὸν Πεισίστρατον καὶ τῶν σκευῶν διατιθέμενος; ἀλλʼ Ὅμηρος ὥσπερ ἀγαθὸς ζωγράφος πάντα ὅμοιον τῷ πατρὶ τὸν Τηλέμαχον παρίστησι. πεποίηκεν γοῦν ἀμφοτέρους τὸν μὲν τῷ Ἀλκινόῳ, τὸν δὲ τῷ Μενελάῳ διὰ δακρύων γνωριζομένους.

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.
