^{page 35 note 3} The date of Protagoras' death will be discussed below.

^{page 35 note 4} There are several in Thucydides, for example. It would be interesting to know if the son of Polyzelus should be identified with the signatory to the Peace of Nicias and the alliance with Sparta (Th. 5. 19, 24), the raider of Epidaurus Limera (Th. 6. 105), or the Anaphlystian who moved the decree establishing the Four Hundred (Ath. Pol. 29. 1).

^{page 36 note 1} This date is correct only if Aelian (V.H. 2. 8) means to refer to the first year of the Olympiad; this interpretation goes back only to the later scholia on Aristophanes (Av. 842, Vesp. 1326).

^{page 36 note 2} There is no need, however, to reject the story about Socrates outright, as Morrison does; the incident may have occurred at a revival of the Palamedes early in the fourth century.

^{page 37 note 1} It need not therefore occasion any surprise that an echo of Protagorean terminology is to be found in Aesch. Agam. 699 f.– see Fraenkel's note ad loc.

^{page 37 note 3} This possibility will be discussed further in connexion with Anaxagoras.

^{page 37 note 4} So Adcock, C.A.H. v. 478; E. R. Dodds, The Greeks and the Irrational, 1951, 201 n. 62, is inclined to agree.

^{page 39 note 1} Did Protagoras appear in Hermippus' (Herm. frr. 61–67 Kock) ?

^{page 39 note 3} Jacoby (ad loc.) strangely dates Callias 480/79; Cadoux, T.J. (J.H.S. lxviii (1948), 81),Google Scholar referring (n. 39) to Jacoby, still more strangely asserts that Demetrius dated Anaxagoras' acme to the archonship of Calliades.

^{page 40 note 1} Plutarch expresses doubts about the story, because Stesimbrotus also connected Themistocles with Melissus, Pericles' opponent in the Samian War; whatever we may think of die story about Melissus, it will beshown diat nothing in die chronological evidence makes it impossible for Themistocles to have heard lectures by Anaxagoras in Adiens.

^{page 43 note 1} Plutarch is the only authority for it, since Ar. Pax 605 may, and Diod. 12. 39. 2must, refer to the attack mentioned by Philochorus.

^{page 44 note 1} Hermippus her accuser—she kept a house of assignation for Pericles (Plut. Per. 32); she called her harlots after the Muses (Sch. Hermog. 7. 165 Walz). Hermippus wrote a about this time (Kock, i. 235 and frr. 41–49). For Aspasia as a cf. Ar. Ach. 524–34; there is no serious evidence that she was anything of the sort—her brothel probably belongs to the same comic Erewhon as Socrates' thinking-shop. Cf. too the use made by Satyrus of Thesm. 335–7. 374–5 in Poxy. ix. n 76, fr. 39, x. 23–xii. 16.

^{page 44 note 2} There are some grounds for supposing that the Oedipus Tyrannus may belong to the higher levels of this campaign, and that the play was written in the latter half of 430 and produced in 429.

^{page 44 note 3} Cleon is said by Satyrus, Poxy. 1176, fr. 39, x. 14–22, to have prosecuted Euripides for asebeia, without success (Hunt, ad loc, compares Arist. Rhet. iii. 1416 ^a 28); details of this, it seems, were given in a lost part of Satyrus' work, but Satyrus' astonishing treatment of the Thesmophoriazusae as sober history in the very next lines (x. 23–xii. 16, referred to in n. 1 above) casts grave doubt on his authority in any matter which might have come to him from comedy, and perhaps Thucydides' prosecution of Anaxagoras would have to be regarded with suspicion, were it not that we have to explain Anaxagoras' absence from Athens when Socrates was growing up. Nor is a comedian likely to have invented the details of the sentence on Anaxagoras.

^{page 45 note 1} This may be the eclipse referred to by Quintilian i. 10. 47 ‘cum Pericles Athenienses solis obscuratione territos redditis eius rei causis metu liberavit’. Butler, H. E., in the Loeb ed. of Quintilian, vol. i, p. 543Google Scholar (s.v.‘Pericles’) dates Pericles' eclipse to 430, ‘on the event of an expedition to the Pelopon-nese’. It is not mentioned by Thuc. ii. 56; but see Plut. Per. 35.
