Note 8 — PROMETHEUS CHAINED.
Theodore Alois Buckley translation
This is not a mere zeugma, but is derived from the supposition that sight was the chief of the senses, and in a manner included the rest. (Cf. Plato Tim. p. 533, C. D.) See the examples adduced by the commentators. Schrader on Musæus 5, and Boyes, Illustrations to Sept. c. Th. 98. Shakespeare has burlesqued this idea in his exquisite buffoonery, Midsummer Night's Dream, Act v. sc. 1.
Pyramus. I see a voice: now will I to the chink, To spy an I can hear my Thisby's face.
