Again, Homer having said:--

"With feet unwashed sleeping on the ground," [3208]

Euripides writes in Erechtheus:--

"Upon the plain spread with no couch they sleep,

Nor in the streams of water lave their feet."

Archilochus having likewise said:--

"But one with this and one with that

His heart delights,"--

in correspondence with the Homeric line:--

"For one in these deeds, one in those delights," [3209] --

Euripides says in OEneus:--

"But one in these ways, one in those, has more delight."

[3208] Iliad, xvi. 235.

[3209] Odyss., xiv. 228.
