Critical notes on Aeschylus

Abstract

In Sept. 915 read δόμων μὰν (Schneider) ἀχώ

ἐπ’ αὐτούς, in 926 ἆ δυσδαίμων σφιν (or σφῷν)

τεκοῦσα. In Supp. 960 read εἰ δ’ ἐκεῖ. In Supp. 1002 read χἄλωρα κωλύονθ’ ὁμῶς μέλειν ἔρῳ: “Cypris proclaims the ripe fruit as well as the reluctant pray to be a care of Love”. In Ag. 557 Schwerdt’s ἂν λάχοιμεν is worth consideration. In Cho. 155 read ἀφευέτω for ἀπεύχετον. In Eum. 490 read καταστροφαὶ δ’ ἐμῶν. The existence of objective truth and the possibility of using language as a tool for its investigation are necessary pragmatic assumptions of any scholarly activity. Karl Popper’s philosophical framework offers a defence against accusations of theoretical naïveté.
