Paragraph
57

Ἡγήσανδρος δʼ ἱστορεῖ καὶ Ἱέρωνα τὸν τύραννον ἀμβλύτερον κατὰ τὰς ὄψεις γενέσθαι καὶ τοὺς συνδειπνοῦντας τῶν φίλων ἔχειν ἐπίτηδες διαμαρτάνοντας τῶν ἐδεσμάτων, ἵνʼ ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ χειραγωγῶνται καὶ δοκῇ τῶν ἄλλων ὀξυδερκέστερος εἶναι. Εὐκλείδην δέ φησιν Ἡγήσανδρος τὸν Σεῦτλον ἐπικαλούμενον (παράσιτος δʼ ἦν καὶ οὗτος) παραθέντος τινὸς αὐτῷ πλείους σόγκους ἐν δείπνῳ, Καπανεύς, ἔφη, ὑπὸ τοῦ Εὐριπίδου εἰσαγόμενος ἐν ταῖς Ἱκέτισιν ὑπεραστεῖος ἦν μισῶν τραπέζας ὅστις ἐξογκοῖτʼ ἄγαν. οἱ δὲ δημαγωγοῦντες, φησίν, Ἀθήνησι κατὰ τὸν Χρεμωνίδειον πόλεμον κολακεύοντες τοὺς Ἀθηναίους τἄλλα μὲν ἔφασκον πάντα εἶναι κοινὰ τῶν Ἑλλήνων, τὴν δʼ ἐπὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνθρώπους φέρουσαν ὁδὸν Ἀθηναίους εἰδέναι μόνους. Σάτυρος δʼ ἐν τοῖς βίοις Ἀνάξαρχόν φησι τὸν εὐδαιμονικὸν φιλόσοφον ἕνα τῶν Ἀλεξάνδρου γενέσθαι κολάκων καὶ συνοδεύοντα τῷ βασιλεῖ, ἐπεὶ ἐγένετό ποτε βροντὴ ἰσχυρὰ καὶ ἐξαίσιος ὡς πάντας πτῆξαι, εἰπεῖν μή τι σὺ τοιοῦτον ἐποίησας, Ἀλέξανδρε, τοῦ Διός; τὸν δὲ γελάσαντα εἰπεῖν οὐ γὰρ φοβερὸς βούλομαι εἶναι, καθάπερ σύ με διδάσκεις τὰς τῶν σατραπῶν καὶ βασιλέων κελεύων με δειπνοῦντα προσφέρεσθαι κεφαλάς. Ἀριστόβουλος δέ φησιν Κασσανδρεὺς Διώξιππον τὸν Ἀθηναῖον παγκρατιαστὴν τρωθέντος ποτὲ τοῦ Ἀλεξάνδρου καὶ αἵματος ῥέοντος εἰπεῖν· ἰχὼρ οἷόσπερ τε ῥέει μακάρεσσι θεοῖσιν.

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.
