Note 94 — Chapter XIII · THE RELATION OF THE STOIC PHILOSOPHY TO RELIGION.
Oswald J. (Oswald Joseph) Reichel translation
The story of Ares, νείατον ἐς κενεῶνα, means, according to Heracl. 31, 64, that Diomedes, ἐπὶ τὰ κενὰ τῆς τῶν ἀντεπάλων τάξεως παρεισελθὼν, defeated the enemy; that of Aphrodite (ἀφροσύνη, ibid. 30, 62), that, by his experience in war, he overcame the inexperienced troops of barbarians. ↑
