740 Primaque, libato, summo tenus attigit ore; Infelix Dido, longumque bibebat amorem, 745 Multa super Priamo rogitans, super Hectore multa; 750 787.] 'Libato,' not "honore libato," but the impersonal participle used absolutely. See Madvig, § 429. With summo tenus attigit ore comp. Eur. Iph. A. 950, äveтai ovd' eis aκpav χειρο. "Labrorum tenus" Lucr. 1. 940. 738.] Bitias is a Carthaginian name. Comp. Sil. 2. 409. Serv. refers to Livy for the fact that a Bitias commanded the Carthaginian fleet. The cup seems to be passed to the Carthaginians, because it was chiefly from them that the pledge of hospitality was required. In crepitans, bidding him be quick ('inpiger"), "Aestatem increpitans seram Zephyrosque morantis G. 4. 138. "Hausit' and 'se proluit' are opposed to 'summo tenus attigit ore.' There is playful humour in the contrast, which is too lightly touched to be undignified, as some have thought, even if Virg. could not appeal to the example of Homer in speaking of the Phaeacian court. 739.] Pleno se proluit auro.' "Swilled himself with the full gold." Trapp. Hor. 1 S. 5. 16, "multa prolutus vappa." 740.] The bard is introduced at the feast in imitation of Hom., Od. 1. 325 foll. and 8. 499 foll. 'Crinitus.' Long hair was part of the costume of bards, in imitation of Apollo. 741.] Personat,' fills the hall. Comp. Tac. A. 16. 4, "Plebs personabat certis modis plausuque conposito." Atias being identified with the African mountain, he is naturally chosen by Virg. here as the instructor of a Carthaginian bard. 742.] Errantem lunam,' the revolutions of the moon. G. 1. 337, 'Quos ignis caeli Cyllenius erret in orbis." For 'solis labores' see G. 2. 478. 'Labores,' though it is disputed, probably refer to eclipses. Prop. 3. 26. 52 has "Nec cur fraternis Luna laboret equis," which is so explained. 743.] Unde hominum genus,' &c. This is among the first subjects of the song of Silenus, E. 6. 31 foll. Imber' the element of water: so used by Lucr. 1. 714. 744.] Pluvias' is a translation of 'Hyadas.' 745.] For this and the next line see G. 2. 481, 482. 747.] For the absolute use of 'ingemino' comp. G. 1.333, “ingeminant austri et densissimus imber." 748.] It is difficult to say whether 'trahere' here means to speed along or to protract. Perhaps Virg. intended to blend the two notions, in spite of their apparent inconsistency, meaning no more than that the conversation lasted the whole night long. 749.] She drank in love with the words of Aeneas. 'Longum probably refers to the notion of length contained in trahebat.' "She drank in long draughts of love." 750.] "Multa super Lauso rogitat” 10.839. 54 P. VERGILI MARONIS AENEID. LIB. I. Nunc, quibus Aurorae venisset filius armis, Nunc, quales Diomedis equi, nunc quantus Achilles. 752.] Quales Diomedis equi.' No especial praise is given to the horses of Diomede in the Iliad, though high praise is given to those which he takes from Aeneas (Il. 5. 263 foll.), and with which he wins the chariotrace (Il. 23. 377 foll.), as also to those which he takes from Rhesus (Il. 10). Virg. may have remembered the prowess of Diomede's horses in the chariot-race, without recollecting that they were once Aeneas' own. See 10. 581, where Liger says to Aeneas, "Non Diomedis equos, non currum cernis Achilli."-Quantus,' how terrible in war. Comp. "quantus In clypeum assurgat" 11. 283, said by Diomede himself of Aeneas. The notion of bulk is prominent, as implying resistless might, but it is not the only one. 753.] Immo,' μèv ovv, nay rather; 755 VOCABULARY. ā, ǎb, prep. abl., (àπó), from (1) of place; (2) of time, a Belo (730); (3) of descent. a tergo, behind: cp. a fronte, in front; hinc, on this side &c. a vertice, vertically.
