A serious and un- objectionable strain: or the dance it- self (cp. L. k S.). Blakesley seems to be hypercritical in seeing a special offence to Kleisthenes in this tragic step, in the light of 5. 67 supra. Perhaps any very good dancing by a Eupatrid would have been unseemly ; too professional. 9. lwvT<p filv dpttTTws, cp. 4. 61 supra /3oCi iwxrrhv ii^ixpei,. 12. AaKwviKd. Probably of a military kind, perhaps the Trvpptxv, while the ’ArriKk were more distinctly VOL. I comic (the K6pda^ ?). On Greek dan- cing, see Guhl and Koner (E. T. pp. 272 £F.), Diet, of Antiq., sub v. Saltatio, and Sittl, Die Gebdrden der Chr. u. Rom. c. xiii. (1890). 13. dXXtt, 5. 32 supra. 20. ov <j>povTls 'I. An expression that became proverbial. The phrase is anapaestic, and was used by Hermippos, cp. Suidas, s.v. 130. 2. ovop-d^erai: bine igitur ori- ginem cepit istud proverbium, Baehr. Van H. condemns Stein’s conjecture po/xldrai. With the story of Hippo- kleides may be compared the oriental fable of The Dancing Peacock: on which see Appendix XIV. ‘iroiT](rdp.€vos. Cp. c. 126 supra, etc. 8. Suptijv, c. 122 supra.
