οὐ μὴν ἀλλʼ ἐὸν ἐξ- ετάζῃ τις, τὴν ἐναντίαν ἔχοντα δόξαν εὑρήσει τὸν ποιη- τήν. αἱ μὲν γὰρ ψυχαὶ κοινῶς δεψῶσιν αἱματος (Hom. ἀλλʼ ἀποχάζεο βόθρου, ἄπισχε δέ φάσγανον ὀξὺ αἵματος, ὄφρα πίω καί τοι νημερτέα εἴπω), ὁ δὲ Πιτυὸς ὑπὸ γυπῶν διὰ τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν ἡπατοφαγεῖ- ται, ὁ δὲ Τάνταλος ἕστηκεν ἐν λίμινῃ, (Hom. λ 583) ἡ δὲ προσέκλυζε γενείῳ· στεῦτο δέ δεψάων, πιέειν δʼ οὐκ εἶχεν ἑλέσθαι.
