[488] μετ́ηορα: apparently adverbial, like “μάψ”, “uncertainly”; cf. the use of “μετέωρος” in prose.
θρυλίζοι: the manuscript “θρυαλίζοι” points to uncial corruption from “θρυλλίζοι” (a constant variant), but the single “λ” is correct for the word and its cognates; Cobet Misc. Crit. 221, Schanz Plato vii. p. 7, Dindorf on Eq.348. 489=474. The repetition is no doubt a kind of parody of Homeric style; the line itself, as Gemoll notes, is here quite in place, to return to Apollo after the digression. Apollo alone can command the instrument without need of practice.This text is part of:
