Note 20 — INTRODUCTION
Reading edition
Cp. Lewis Campbell in the Classical Review iv. 301, and Goodell in the paper named on p. 33 infra. In the matter of emphasis, Greek sentences are usually constructed on a diminuendo, English sentences on a crescendo principle. The English of μὴ ’φευρεθῇς ἄνους τε καὶ γέρων ἅμα (Soph. Antig. 281) is, as Jebb gives it, “lest thou be found at once an old man and foolish.” As fuller examples, in prose and verse, Mr. L. H. G. Greenwood suggests the Phaedrus 230 B, C (Νὴ τὴν Ἥραν ... Φαῖδρε) and the Rhesus 78-85, 119-130.
