[700c] The authority whose duty it was to know these regulations, and, when known, to apply them in its judgments and to penalize the disobedient, was not a pipe nor, as now, the mob's unmusical shoutings, nor yet the clappings which mark applause: in place of this, it was a rule made by those in control of education that they themselves should listen throughout in silence, while the children and their ushers and the general crowd were kept in order by the discipline of the rod.

Chorus
Dear son of Oedipus, I grew afraid when I heard the clatter of the crashing chariots, [205] when the hubs screamed as they whirled around the wheel, and when I heard the sound of the steering gear, fire-forged bits, in the horses' mouths.
Eteocles
Well, then, has a helmsman ever found a way to safety by fleeing from stern to prow, [210] when his ship is foundering in high seas?

[399d] many stringed and poly-harmonic1 instruments. Apparently not. Well, will you admit to the city flute-makers and flute-players? Or is not the flute the most 'many-stringed' of instruments and do not the pan-harmonics2 themselves imitate it? Clearly, he said. You have left, said I, the lyre and the cither. These are useful3 in the city, and in the fields the shepherds would have a little piccolo to pipe on.4 So our argument indicates, he said.
1 Metaphorically. The many-toned instrumentation of the flutes, as Pindar calls it, Ol. vii. 12, can vie with the most complex and many-stringed lyre of musical innovation.
2 Cf. 404 D, the only other occurrence of the word in Plato.
3 Cf. my note on Timaeus 47 C, in A.J.P. vol. x. p. 61.
4 Ancient critics noted this sentence as an adaptation of sound to sense. Cf. Demetr.Peri herm185. The sigmas and iotas may be fancied to suggest the whistling notes of the syrinx. So Lucretius v. 1385 tibia quas fundit digitis pulsata canentum. Cf. on Catullus 61. 13 voce carmina tinnula.

[1080] But the Argives will crown you, wreathing the lovely tresses of your hair, like a pure, dappled heifer brought from some rocky cave, and staining with blood your human throat; [1085] though you were never reared among the piping and whistling of herdsmen, but at your mother's side, to be decked as the bride of a son of Inachus. Where now does the face of modesty [1090] or virtue have any strength? seeing that godlessness holds sway, and virtue is neglected by men and thrust behind them, [1095] lawlessness over law prevailing, and mortals no longer making common cause to keep the jealousy of gods from reaching them.

Winged maidens, virgin daughters of Earth, the Sirens, may you come to my mourning [170] with Libyan flute or pipe or lyre, tears to match my plaintive woes; grief for grief and mournful chant for chant, may Persephone send choirs of death [175] in harmony with my lamentation, so that she may receive as thanks from me, in addition to my tears, a paean for the departed dead beneath her gloomy roof.

Chorus
What wedding-hymn was that which raised its strains to the sound of Libyan flutes, to the music of the dancer's lyre, and the note of the pipe of reeds? [1040] It was on the day Pieria's lovely-haired choir came over the slopes of Pelion to the wedding of Peleus, beating the ground with print of golden sandals at the banquet of the gods, [1045] and hymning in dulcet strains the praise of Thetis and the son of Aeacus, over the Centaurs' hill, down woods of Pelion. There was the Dardanian boy, [1050] dainty morsel of Zeus' bed, drawing off the wine he mixed in the depths of golden bowls, Ganymede the Phrygian; while, along the gleaming sand, [1055] the fifty daughters of Nereus graced the marriage with their dancing, circling in a mazy ring.

Oh, that we had wings to cleave the air, where the birds of Libya go in their ranks, [1480] leaving the winter rain, obedient to the piping of their veteran leader, who raises his exultant cry [1485] as he wings his way over unmoistened and crop-bearing plains of the earth. O you winged long-necked comrades of the racing clouds, go on beneath the Pleiades in their central station [1490] and Orion of the night; deliver the message, as you settle on Eurotas' banks, that Menelaos has sacked the city of Dardanos, and will come home.

Achilles next, that nimble runner, swift on his feet as the wind, whom Thetis bore and Chiron trained, I saw [210] upon the beach, racing in full armor along the shingle, and straining every nerve to beat a team of four horses, [215] as he sped round the track on foot; and Eumelus, the grandson of Pheres, their driver, was shouting when I saw him, goading on his lovely steeds, [220] with their bits of chased gold-work; the center pair, that bore the yoke, had dappled coats picked out with white, while the tracehorses, on the outside, facing the turning-post in the course, [225] were bays with spotted fetlocks. Close beside them Peleus' son leapt on his way, in all his harness, keeping abreast [230] the rail by the axle-box.

O seats of Pan and rocks that lie near the hollows of Makrai, [495] where the three daughters of Aglauros dance over the green courses before the temples of Pallas, to the quavering wail of pipes, of songs, [500] when you play the pipes in your sunless caves, O Pan, where an unhappy maiden bore a child to Phoebus and exposed it as a feast for birds [505] and a bloody banquet for wild beasts, the outrage of the bitter rape; neither at the loom nor in speeches have I heard that the children born to mortals from gods claim a report of good fortune.

You swift-prowed ships, rowed to sacred Ilium over the deep dark sea, [125] past the fair havens of Hellas, to the flute's ill-omened music and the dulcet voice of pipes, [130] to the bays of Troy, alas! where you tied your hawsers, twisted handiwork from Egypt, in quest of that hateful wife of Menelaus, who brought disgrace on Castor, and on Eurotas foul reproach; who murdered [135] Priam, the father of fifty children; the cause why I, the unhappy Hecuba, have wrecked my life upon this disastrous strand. Oh that I should sit here, over against the tent of Agamemnon! [140] As a slave I am led away from my home, an old woman, while from my head the hair is piteously shorn for grief. Ah! unhappy wives of those armored sons of Troy! Ah! poor maidens, luckless brides, [145] come weep, for Ilium is now a smouldering ruin; and I, like some mother-bird that over her fledgelings screams, will begin the strain; not the same as that [150] I once sang to the gods, as I leaned on Priam's staff and beat with my foot in Phrygian time to lead the dance!

When we struck deserted country, there is a headland that lies beyond our territory, [1200] lying out towards what is at that point the Saronic gulf. There a great noise in the earth, like Zeus's thunder, roared heavily--it made one shudder to hear it. The horses pricked up their heads and ears to heaven, while we servants were taken with a violent fear [1205] at the thought where this voice came from. When we turned our eyes to the sea-beaten beach, we saw a wave, immense and uncanny, set fast in the sky, so great that my eye was robbed of the sight of Sciron's coast, and the Isthmus and Asclepius' cliff were hid from view. [1210] And then as the sea-surge made it swell and seeth up much foam all about, it came toward the shore where the chariot was. With its very swell and surge the wave put forth a bull, fierce and heaven-sent. [1215] With its bellowing the whole land was filled and gave back unearthly echoes, and as we looked on it the sight was too great for our eyes to bear. At once a terrible panic fell upon the horses. My master, who had lived long with the ways of horses, [1220] seized the reins in his hands and pulled them, letting his body hang backwards from the straps, like a sailor pulling an oar. But they took the fire-wrought bit in their teeth and carried him against his will, paying no heed to their captain's hand [1225] or the harness or the tight-glued chariot. If he held the helm and directed their course toward the softer ground, the bull appeared before him to turn them back, maddening the team with fear. [1230] But if they rushed with maddened senses into the rocks, it drew near and silently accompanied the chariot until it upset and overthrew the chariot, striking its wheel-rims on a rock. All was confounded: the wheels' naves [1235] and the axle-pins were leaping into the air, and the poor man himself, entangled in the reins, bound in a bond not easy to untie, was dragged along, smashing his head against the rocks and rending his flesh and uttering things dreadful to hear: [1240] Stay, horses my mangers have nourished, do not blot me out! O wretched curse of my father! Who wishes to stand by the best of men and save his life?

Yes, do so; approach now, softly, softly! [150] Give me an account of why you have come here. For at last he has lain down, and sleeps.

[490] Therein fashioned he also two cities of mortal men exceeding fair. In the one there were marriages and feastings, and by the light of the blazing torches they were leading the brides from their bowers through the city, and loud rose the bridal song. And young men were whirling in the dance, and in their midst [495] flutes and lyres sounded continually; and there the women stood each before her door and marvelled. But the folk were gathered in the place of assembly; for there a strife had arisen, and two men were striving about the blood-price of a man slain; the one avowed that he had paid all, [500] declaring his cause to the people, but the other refused to accept aught; and each was fain to win the issue on the word of a daysman. Moreover, the folk were cheering both, shewing favour to this side and to that. And heralds held back the folk, and the elders were sitting upon polished stones in the sacred circle, [505] holding in their hands the staves of the loud-voiced heralds. Therewith then would they spring up and give judgment, each in turn. And in the midst lay two talents of gold, to be given to him whoso among them should utter the most righteous judgment.
But around the other city lay in leaguer two hosts of warriors [510] gleaming in armour. And twofold plans found favour with them, either to lay waste the town or to divide in portions twain all the substance that the lovely city contained within. Howbeit the besieged would nowise hearken thereto, but were arming to meet the foe in an ambush. The wall were their dear wives and little children guarding, [515] as they stood thereon, and therewithal the men that were holden of old age; but the rest were faring forth, led of Ares and Pallas Athene, both fashioned in gold, and of gold was the raiment wherewith they were clad. Goodly were they and tall in their harness, as beseemeth gods, clear to view amid the rest, and the folk at their feet were smaller. [520] But when they were come to the place where it seemed good unto them to set their ambush, in a river-bed where was a watering-place for all herds alike, there they sate them down, clothed about with flaming bronze. Thereafter were two scouts set by them apart from the host, waiting till they should have sight of the sheep and sleek cattle. [525] And these came presently, and two herdsmen followed with them playing upon pipes; and of the guile wist they not at all.

The world's most authorative dictionary of ancient Greek
Indispensable for Septuagint studies, the world's most comprehensive and authoritative dictionary of ancient Greek is now available with the Revised Supplement integrated into the body of the text for the first time ever. The publication of the Revised Supplement in 1996 marked a major event in classical scholarship and was the culmination of 13 years' painstaking work overseen by a committee appointed by the British Academy, involving the cooperation of many experts from around the world.
The Main Dictionary: Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon (9th edition 1940), is the central reference work for all scholars of ancient Greek authors and texts discovered up to 1940, from the 11th century BC to the Byzantine Period. The early Greek of authors such as Homer and Hesiod, Classical Greek, and the Greek Old and New Testaments are included. Each entry lists not only the definition of a word, but also its irregular inflections, and quotations from a full range of authors and sources to demonstrate usage.
The Logos Bible Software Series X electronic edition is the most useful version of Liddell and Scott ever assembled. It is the only edition in which the hundreds of pages and 26,000+ articles of 'Supplement' material have been integrated into the text of the main lexicon, allowing the user to instantly access the 1996 revisions and additions without flipping pages. And like all Logos reference works the electronic edition links to all the other reference books in Logos Bible Software Series X for instant lookup of related texts and Bible references.

Maris megyek nadat aratni Korinthosba, talan a szerencse kezemre jatszik valami eltevedt, kosza, csellengo nimfat, akit megkerhetnenk, legyen a notafank...:)
Jynx es syrinx konfuzio, gyakran keverednek ezen "bajolo" fogalmak az okorban. Az yinx brugattyu, madar szarny es lab van raerositve.
Nyaktekercs (Jynx torquilla) nyelve. Nos, az antik monda szerint Jynx, aki Pán és Echo leánya volt, amúgy kerítőként buzgólkodott Zeusz és Jó között. Emiatt a mindig féltékeny, irigy és rosszindulatú Héra büntetésből madárrá változtatta. A babonaság azután ráfogta a szerelmi rábeszélő erőt a nyomorult madár nyelvére. További adalék az, hogy a nyaktekercs állítólag azért tekergeti annyira a nyakát, mert el akarja mondani keserű sorsát, csakhát nincs szava hozzá."

25. A NYAKTEKERCS.
Egyéb neve: nyaktekerõ, tekerints, nyakforgató.
Leirás. Pacsirta nagyságú madár, finom puha tollazattal, mely emlékeztet a bagoly vagy a kecskefejõ tollára; torka agyagos szinû, keresztbefutó, finom, sötét hullámvonalakkal; farka szép szürke, feketén permetezve, hat széles, csipkés, keresztberovott sávolylyal; hasafele szürke alapszinen barnás, fehéres és feketés foltokkal tarkálva és finoman permetezve; tarkójától lefelé a háton és a válltájon nagy fekete foltok. A szárny evedzõtollai rozsdaszinnel keresztberova. Két lábaujja elõre, kettõ hátrafelé áll; a lábak rövidek. Odvakba fészkel, olyanokba, a minõket talál s ott a puha murvára tojja le monyait, számszerint hét, néha tizenkettõt; szinük fehér.
A nyaktekercsnek is féregalakú, hosszú messzire kiölthetõ nyelve van.
Élete módja. A nyaktekercs is vándormadár, mely õszkor elhagy, tavaszkor visszatér és rögtön hallatja éppen oly sajátos mint kellemes hangját, mely így szól: kjü-kjü-kjü-kjü-kjü-kjü-kjü és tagadhatatlan, hogy ez a hang a hosszú tél után kedvesen hat az emberre. A nyaktekercs nem kopácsol és nem is kuszik, mint a harkály, de nyelvével éppen úgy mûködik. A hangyabolyt kilyukasztja s a kitóduló hangyák, mint lépvesszõre, úgy tapadnak hosszú nyelvéhez, melyet hirtelen visszaránt és mintegy lehántja róla a prédát. A hangyatojást felpiczézgeti nyelvének kemény, hegyes végére, mely azonban nem szakás, mint a harkályé. Igy szedegeti a kéreg repedéseibõl is a bogárságot: a petét, bábot és mindent, a mi ott bujkál, nyugszik vagy leskelõdik. Ezért a nyaktekercs kiméletre méltó, igen hasznos madár.
A nyaktekercs nem vad madár, azért közelrõl is megvigyázható. Nevét onnan vette, hogy nyakát nyujtogatja, csavargatja, miközben bóbitáját felállítja és farkát kiteregeti. Szereti a lombos fákat, gyümölcsösöket. Nálunk még nem ritka.

==
Elterjedés: Európában a sarkkör alatti területeken, Dél-Spanyolország és a Balkán-félsziget kivételével, mindenütt költ. A Brit-szigeteken csak foltszerű az elterjedése. Észak-Nyugat-Afrikában is fészkel. Európában 1, Ázsiában 5 alfaja ismert. Közép-Európában átlag 800 m tengerszint feletti magasságig fészkel. Magyarországon általánosan elterjedt, de az összefüggő erdőségeket, fátlan, kopár területeket nem kedveli. Gyakori fészkelő az előhegységi területeken, dombvidékeken. Gyümölcsösök jellegzetes fészkelője. Városi kertekben is szívesen megtelepszik, ha azokban megfelelő odúk is vannak.
Fészkelőhely: Ligetes, rétekkel tarkított erdők, parkok, gyümölcsösök lakója. Kedvelt fészkelőterületei a középhegységi erdőszéli tölgyesek. Odúlakó. Az odú kiválasztásában nem túl válogatós. Alacsony és magasabb elhelyezkedésű odú, néha repedés, földbe vájt lyuk, egyaránt alkalmas megtelepedéséhez. Kivételesen maga is vés odút. Ha akad bőven fészkelőhely, nem agresszív fészekkonkurrens. Ilyenkor inkább az alacsonyabban levő odúkat választja, s jól megfér cinegékkel, verébbel és más fajokkal is. Fészkelőhely szűkében uralkodó fajjá válik, és előfordul, hogy a tojásokon kotló mezei verebet vagy cinegét kilakoltatja az odúból.
Költési idő: Május második felétől kezdődik költése. Másodköltés, ha van, július közepére esik.
Fészkelés: Fészket nem épít. Az odú csupasz aljára vagy más faj korábbi költéséből származó fészekanyagára rakja 7-12 tojását. Naponta egy tojást tojik, de kotlani csak a 5-7. lerakása után kezd, ezért a fiókák között lényeges méretbeli különbség van. Főleg a tojó kotlik, a hím csak alkalmanként, elsősorban a déli órákban váltja fel. 12 (14) napig üli a tojásokat. Ha a kotló madarat megzavarják, jellegzetes sziszegéssel, kígyószerű fejcsavargatással, a fejtetőtollak borzolásával reagál.
Táplálkozás: Tápláléka legnagyobbrészt hangya. Fiókáit kizárólag hangyákkal (lárvák, bábok, kifejlett állatok) eteti. Alkalmilag hernyókat, apró rovarokat is fog. Nyelvét - amelynek végén apró horgok vannak - mint lépvesszőt használja a táplálékszerzéshez. Bedugja a hasadékokba, bolyhokba, a rámászó rovarokkal visszahúzza és lenyeli azokat.
Állománynagyság: Általános elterjedése miatt országos állománynagysága nem ismert. Alkalmas élőhelyeken mindenütt megtelepszik, de sehol sem nagy számú. Erdőszéli 10 ha-os odútelepeken 1-2 pár, gyümölcsösökben hasonló területen 2-3 pár költ.
Vonulás: Magyarország déli területeire már március utolsó harmadában, északabbra csak április végén érkezik. Tavaszi megjelenésének átlagidőpontja április 10-14. Őszi elvonulása szeptember második felére, október elejére esik. A telet Afrika trópusi tájain, és Indiában tölti. Hat külföldi visszajelzés azt mutatja, hogy a nálunk kelt madarak az Adria jugoszláviai partjára, Olaszország déli területeire, Szicíliába, s a líbiai partok közelébe vonulnak.
Védelem: Mivel a parkok, öreg erdők, idős gyümölcsösök száma egyre csökken, szaporodását odúkihelyezéssel segíthetjük. Ott, ahol a nyaktekercs gyakoribb, más odúlakó fajok fészkelésének védelmére több odút ajánlatos kihelyezni. (Mesterséges fészekodúval való telepítéséhez a cinegeméret - 32 mm-es bejárónyílás - a megfelelő.)
Nyaktekercs a kertben
Ha valaki a képen látható madárra pillant, aligha gondolná, hogy egy harkályt lát maga előtt. A nyaktekercs egész megjelenése és szokásai is eltérnek a többi harkályétól. Furcsa nevét onnét kapta, hogy az odúban tojásain ülő madár nyugtalanítva fejtollait felborzolja és fejét lassú mozdulatokkal ide-oda tekergeti.
Harkályaink állandó madarak, egész évben láthatók, a nyaktekercs viszont szeptemberben dél felé repül és Afrika trópusi tájain tölti a téli hónapokat. Csak áprilisban tér vissza, és ettől kezdve lehet hallani hangos és jellegzetes "vi-vi-vi-vi" kiáltását. Hím és tojó gyakran duetteznek. Később, amikor már fiókáik vannak, elhallgatnak és ettől kezdve alig látni őket.
Pedig országosan elterjedt madár, ligetes erdőkben, kertekben, parkokban, gyümölcsösökben költ. A kerteket kifejezetten kedveli, talán azért, mert ott gyakoriak az öreg gyümölcsfák, melyek üregeiben vagy a kifüggesztett mesterséges fészekodúban hamar megtelepszik. Meglehetősen erőszakos természetű, ha érkezésekor nem talál megfelelő költőhelyet, egyszerűen kilakol-
tatja a már kotló cinegéket, és maga telepszik meg az odúban. Éppen ezért ajánlott több, 32 mm-es bejárónyílású odút is kifüggeszteni a kertben, hogy a csak áprilisban érkező nyaktekercs is találjon lakást magának.
A harkályok maguk vésik ki odúikat, a különc nyaktekercs ebben is kivétel, a már kész üreget foglalja el. Gyenge csőre nem is lenne alkalmas az ilyen munkára, faroktollai is puhák, nem olyan kemények, mint például a nagy fakopáncsé, amely rájuk támaszkodik, miközben odúját ácsolja.
A nyaktekercs párok szívesen választanak viszonylag alacsonyan, embermagasságban lévő odút a költéshez. A tojó májusban minden fészekanyag nélkül, az üreg alján lévő forgácstörmelékre rakja le 7-12 fehér tojását. A fiókák 12-14 nap alatt kelnek ki, és 20-22 nappal később hagyják el az odút. Szüleik elsősorban hangyabábokkal etetik őket. A fűben mozogva keresik a bolyokat, és ha rábukkannak, csőrükkel "meglékelik" annak oldalát és hosszúra kinyújtható, a végén kis horgokkal ellátott ragadós harkálynyelvüket dugják be a nyíláson. Egy ideig ide-oda mozgatják, majd a ráakadt hangyákkal és bábokkal visszahúzzák. Az odúhoz érkező madár csőre tömve van tejfehér, puha "hangyatojással" és az izgatott fiókák mohón nyelik a finom falatokat. Ha valaki vagy valami megzavarja őket, kígyósziszegésre emlékeztető hangot hallatnak, ami már nem egy fészekfosztogató vagy talán csak kíváncsi gyereket kergetett el a nyaktekercs odú közeléből.

Egy különc harkály
A nyaktekercs egy kissé kilóg a hazai harkályok sorából. Ezt már a neve is sejteti: madarunk, ha veszélyt érez, a fejtollait felborzolva nyakát ide-oda tekergeti, és közben kígyószerű, sziszegő hangokat hallat. Külsejében és viselkedésében is sok jegy emlékeztet az énekesmadarakra. A lába olyan, mint a többi harkályé: két ujja előre, kettő hátrafelé áll, és a fatörzsön harkály módra kapaszkodik, de az ágakon már keresztben ül. Tollai lágyabbak, mint a rokonaié, és a farktollai is puhák, tollruhájának mintázata pedig megtévesztően hasonlít a fakéregre.
Míg a család többi tagja állandó madarunk, addig a nyaktekercs vonuló, rendszerint március elején érkezik meg afrikai telelőterületeiről. Abban is a nyaktekercs az egyetlen kivétel, hogy nem készít odút, tojásait az elfoglalt odú aljára vagy más fajok régebbi költéséből származó fészekanyagára rakja. A harkályfélék szinte kivétel nélkül évente csupán egy fészekaljat nevelnek. Különcünknél ritkán másodköltést is megfigyeltek a kutatók."
