Note 110 — Lecture III. GREEK AND CHRISTIAN EXEGESIS.
Reading edition
Il. 22. 8; Clem. Al. Strom. 5. 14, p. 719; but it sometimes required a keen eye to see the Gospel in Homer. For example, in Odyss. 9. 410, the Cyclopes say to Polyphemus:
εἰ μὲν δὴ μή τίς σε βιάζεται οἶον ἐόντα, νοῦσόν γ’ οὔ πως ἔστι Διὸς μεγάλου ἀλέασθαι.
Clement (Strom. 5. 14) makes this to be an evident “divination” of the Father and the Son. His argument is, apparently, μήτις = μῆτις; but μῆτις = λόγος: therefore the νόσος Διός, which = μῆτις = (by a μαντείας εὐστόχου) the Son of God.
