To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1059, " Perchance the captors will soon approach the pastures 2 on the west of Oea's snowy rock, " and 0. T. 474, where the command from Delphi is said to have " flashed forth from snow}' Parnassus, " and Ai. 693, where the Salaminian sailors beg Pan to come over the sea to them, " leaving the snow-smitten ridges of Cyllene. " The use of the same or similar epithet in each of these instances might suggest that the description is merely conventional, and yet in each case Sophocles appears to hav...e seized on a characteristic feature of the landscape. " Oea's snowy rock, " overlooking the Thriasian plain, was doubtless a familiar sight to all residents of Attica. The climate of Attica in ancient days seems to have been colder than to-day, and snow therefore fell on Mount Aegaleos later in the season than at present. As for Parnassus and Cyllene, even now they are covered with snow as late as the month of May, the former being one of the most con- spicuous mountains in central Greece, and the latter being " clearly visible from the Acropolis " of Athens.
