Hesiod, Works And Days: An Addendum
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2009
Extract
On p. 118 I said(à propos of W.D. 742) that the injunction of Pythagoras παρà θνσíαν μ⋯ ⋯ννχíζον, quoted by Goettling with a false reference, might be illuminating in its context but that I suspected it of being a figment. My suspicions were unfounded. The reference, as Mr. A. B. Cook has kindly pointed out to me, is Iambl. Protrept. 364 K.; but Iamblichus's explanation—that ‘nails’ stands for one's remoter kinsfolk, οíον ⋯νεψιáδαι ⋯ πατραδ⋯λφων γαμβρονοτιδεîς ⋯ τοιοντοí τινες, with whom one should renew relations on festal days—does not seem very helpful.
