page 99 note 7 Contrast Supp. where Io's descendants look to Zeus for help, and Aes. depicts Z. as the deliverer rather than the persecutor (508–578 Tucker's ed.), and note that Io's transformation is there ascribed to Hera to prevent the union (271 and Tucker's note on 263), whereas here Aes. seems to follow the other version (cf. Apoll. 11. 1. 13) and make it the work of Zens to attain his end (P.D. 652–4).

page 100 note 8 P.'s forcknowledge is imperfect, cf. 267, 511 (οὔπω), and he can be blinded by passion: for he evidently looks to the time when Zeus will be willing to purchase the secret by his release, 170, 770, and 192, 260, 373, 525, are not inconsistent with this: but at 756 he treats Z. 's fall as assured and his own release as resulting from it, cf. 909, though at 990 he reverts to the notion of a bargain. In P.L. the bargain is made, but (according to Hyg. Fab. 54) the terms are reversed, i.e. P. tells the secret and is then released.
