Paragraph
12

πρότερος δὲ τοῦ Ἐπικούρου Σοφοκλῆς τραγῳδιοποιὸς ἐν Ἀντιγόνῃ περὶ τῆς ἡδονῆς τοιαῦτα εἴρηκεν· τὰς γὰρ ἡδονὰς ὅταν προδῶσιν ἄνδρες, οὐ τίθημʼ ἐγὼ ζῆν τοῦτον, ἀλλʼ ἔμψυχον ἡγοῦμαι νεκρόν. πλούτει τε γὰρ κατʼ οἶκον, εἰ βούλει, μέγα καὶ ζῆ τύραννον σχῆμʼ ἔχων· ἐὰν δʼ ἀπῇ τούτων τὸ χαίρειν, τἄλλʼ ἐγὼ καπνοῦ σκιᾶς οὐκ ἂν πριαίμην ἀνδρὶ πρὸς τὴν ἡδονήν. Φιλέταιρος Κυναγίδι τί δεῖ γὰρ ὄντα θνητόν, ἱκετεύω, ποιεῖν πλὴν ἡδέως ζῆν τὸν βίον καθʼ ἡμέραν, ἐὰν ἔχῃ τις ὁπόθεν; ἀλλὰ δεῖ σκοπεῖν τοῦτʼ αὐτὸ τἀνθρώπειʼ ὁρῶντα πράγματα, εἰς αὔριον δὲ μηδὲ φροντίζειν ὅτι ἔσται· περίεργόν ἐστιν ἀποκεῖσθαι πάνυ ἕωλον ἔνδον τἀργύριον. καὶ ἐν Οἰνοπίωνι δὲ αὐτός φησιν· θνητῶν δʼ ὅσοι ζῶσιν κακῶς ἔχοντες ἄφθονον βίον, ἐγὼ μὲν αὐτοὺς ἀθλίους εἶναι λέγω. οὐ γὰρ θανών γε δήπουθεν ἔγχελυν φάγοις οὐδʼ ἐν νεκροῖσι πέττεται γαμήλιος.

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.
