^{page 45 note 1} This part of my paper is largely taken from the first of the three J. H. Gray lectures which I gave at Cambridge in 1954. I read the whole at a meeting of the Edinburgh Classical Society, and have made some changes as a result of subsequent discussion.

^{page 46 note 1} We are reminded here, though the situation is so different, of Antigone's words to Oedipus (O.C. 1189–91): ὐφυσας αὐτόν ὣστε μηδὲ δρῶντά σε | τὰ τῶν κακίστων δυσσεβέστατ', πάτερ, | θέμις έ γ' ε ναι κεῑνον ᾀντιδρᾶν κακῶς.

We may add in passing that the Republic, in which the doctrine of total obedience to the ideal state is promulgated, is concerned primarily with the search for justice in the individual soul, not in the state.
