Notes on Euripides' Herakles1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2009
Extract
Professor M. L. West has challenged the accepted reading 
(Reiske) and proposed 
(Philologus 117 (1973), 145). This makes for a disappointing antithesis, and Paley seems to have been right in pointing out that 
would be surprising as an object to 
tragic diction, at least, seems to use only pronouns, adjectives, or nouns which stand as internal accusatives 
etc.; fr. adesp.

page 59 note 1 I am grateful to Mr. Bond for drawing this point to my attention, with the suggestion that my 
might best be combined with the alterations suggested by Badham and Pearson. For verbs of restraining without objects specified, cf. also Theognis 140 
(rightly explained by Van Groningen with 
as subject of 
); Thuc. 3.45.3 
Examples can be multiplied (cf., e.g., Iliad 15.618, 17.747, Theognis 816, S.O.T. 129, E. Suppl. 18, LSJ s.v. 
5 and 6).
This is not, of course, to say that there is anything wrong about 
(‘felt compunction’’) in itself; cf. I.T. 949, and infinitives frequently following 
, as they do 
at A. Ag. 1203 (cf. ibid. 948).
1 There is an obvious possibility that 
or at least 
is an intrusive repetition from 
in the previous line. But the repetition is not in itself unexpected: cf. Hkld. 670–1, Ion 952–3, 1326–7.
