Note 26 — PROMETHEUS CHAINED.
Theodore Alois Buckley translation
I think, notwithstanding the arguments of Dindorf, that ὀργῆς νοσούσης means "a mind distempered," and that λόγοι mean "arguments, reasonings." Boyes, who always shows a poetical appreciation of his author, aptly quotes Spenser's Fairy Queen, b. 2, c. 8, st. 26.
"Words well dispost, Have secrete powre t' appease inflamed rage."
And Samson Agonistes:
"Apt words have power to swage The tumors of a troubled mind."
The reading of Plutarch, ψυχῆς appears to be a mere gloss.
