"Greek Studies: a Series of Essays"


NOTES
192. +The related Greek noun techne is defined as follows: "art,
skill, regular method of making a thing." (Liddell and Scott.)
193. *Il. xviii.468-608.
193. *Od. vii.37-132.
197. +Transliteration: porpas te gnamptas th' helikas, kalukas te kai
hormous. Translation: "delicate brooches, spriralled bracelets,
rosettes, and necklaces." Homer, Iliad 18.400.
201. +Empaestik derives from the verb empaio, "to strike in, stamp."
(Liddell and Scott.)
210. +The names are etymological--chalkos, argyros, and chrysos
signify, respectively, brass (or copper), silver, and gold.
216. +Transliteration: poikilia. Liddell and Scott definition:
"embroidery . . . (metaph.) cunning." The metaphorical sense is the
one Pater invokes.
218. +Euploea . . . Anadyomene. Euploea means "fair voyage";
Anadyomene, a participial form derived from the verb anadyo, "to
rise, esp. from the sea," (Liddell-Scott) may be rendered "she who
emerges from the sea."
222. +Transliteration: poikilia. Liddell and Scott definition:
"embroidery . . . (metaph.) cunning." The metaphorical sense is the
one Pater invokes.

[224] CRITICS of Greek sculpture have often spoken of it as if it had
been always work in colourless stone, against an almost colourless
background.
