Homeric Questions and On the Cave of the Nymphs

A of the stones. And:
"the column." And, furthermore, "the Marathon." Cratinus:
"Most horse-loving Marathon." Nicander: "well-built Marathon." These, then, are what we found and judged to be sound. While Philemon says such things, the things he said to B Alexander regarding the correction of the betrayal I do not deem appropriate to examine in the present subject. But how he says "gathered together" is dull, it is not possible to know. For who does not know the horse-experts, gathering the most suitable from many horses, because it is indicated by "gathered together"? For "to gather" and "gather together" are said in place of "collect." But let us learn how the things concerning Lycaon are composed in Aristophanes. He wants the fish, so that it may eat the fat of Lycaon, Γ to leap through the wave. And to flee the shivering. And he says: "He will swim superficially on the foam of the water, having submerged." Since even the bodies of the dead, until they are fresh, are accustomed to float from above. First, then, it is not possible to conceive of a fish swimming above the water but under the foam Δ of the water, nor a dead man being carried between these. But I cannot even hear the "shivering" as the foam, while Homer calls it "black shivering," and this man deems it right to hear it as whiteness. And regarding Proteus, Homer says again, "covered in black shivering." And having mentioned shivering elsewhere, he adds:
"And the sea turns black beneath it."
E And the shivering is the beginning of the movement of the wind. Simonides, trying to show it, said: "No salt-spraying breath." And to say that fresh bodies are carried on the surface of the waves is a lie. On the contrary, at the beginning, because of the stiffness and density of the body, the corpse, being stronger than the surrounding water, sinks, having displaced it.
