- W2076565312 abstract "Momus is not the most attractive character in mythology, and the noble art of writing adversaria has lost much of its former glamour. Yet there do occur moments when one feels compelled to exercise it. But playing Momus?no: if for the second time I feel urged to criticize a publication by Professor A. W. H. Adkins, I am certainly not prompted by lack of appreciation of his scholarship. The first time was when Merit and Responsibility appeared (i960). Undoubtedly an impressive and an important book, and parts of it are excellent (this is not meant as an allusion to the curate's egg!). But occasionally it sacrifices exact interpretation to construction. In Hermeneus 31 (1959-60), 210 ff. (= De zang der Sirenen, Groningen 1969, 85 ff.) I argued that the ''hopeless tangle of values which Adkins detected in Homer's account of the distribution of prizes after the chariot-race in Iliad XXIII existed only in his imagination because he failed to notice that a?et? in v. 571 has not the same import as it has in v. 578 (cp. the penetrating criticisms by H. W. Pleket in Lampas 3, 1971, 349 ff.)? The present case is comparable. In Antichthon (Journal of the Australian Society for Class. Studies) 4 (1970), 13 ft., Professor Adkins has published an interesting paper under the title Clouds, Mysteries, Socrates and Plato. I will discuss it under three heads, to wit a) mysteries in Aristophanes, b) Plato's silence upon the main accusation against Socrates, c) Plato's mystery terminology. a) Adkins starts from the often observed fact that in Aristophanes' Clouds admission to the phrontisterion is likened to initiation into the mysteries. He quotes the choral song vv. 298-313, and argues that the explicit mention of (Eleusinian) mystery cults made in this song serves to point to the desecration which Socrates' bogus mysteries must have meant for the spectators, for the presentation" @default.
