I can take no excuses, and we will have Demodocus to sing to us; for there is no bard like him whatever he may choose to sing about. A comparison of this work with the Lay of Demodocus ("Odyssey" viii, 266 ff. There is Nicostratus the son of Theosdotides, and the brother of Theodotus (now Theodotus himself is dead, and therefore he, at any rate, will not seek to stop him); and there is Paralus the son of Demodocus, who had a brother Theages; and Adeimantus the son of Ariston, whose brother Plato is present; and Aeantodorus, who is the brother of Apollodorus, whom I also see. |
