To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As many as one hundred comedies are attributed to him, of which only titles and fragments have come down to us (Kock, Com. Att. Frag., n. p. 576).
Obese : probably used of a parasite by Diphilus ; as ap- plied to Timaeus by Plutarch, it would mean " thick-witted ".
Xenaxchus: no historian of this name is known, and yet the language implies a historian. Coraes suspects the text.
I. 3. Name derived from victory : vikt), victory ; ^iKiav, Victorious.
Declined to head their expedition : he was elec...ted gen- eral against his wiU, and tried to dissuade the Athenians from the enterprise (chap. xii. 3 ; Alcibiades, xviii. 1).
Mutilation of the Hermae: see chap. xiii. 2 ; Alcibiades, xviii. 3.
Hermocrates : the principal Syracusan commander (chap, xvi 4 et passim), a Sicilian patriot whom Thucydides de- lights to honor.
Delivered Cerberus into his hands: to fetch the dog Cerberus from Hades was the twelfth and last labor imposed upon Heracles by the tyrant Eurystheus. As the story is told in Apollodorus (ii 5, 12), Heracles asked Pluto for Cer- berus, and was told that he could have him if he would take him without using weapons.
