[113] ὑφ᾽ ἵμερον ὦρσε γόοιο. The preposition has here its noteworthy meaning of ‘in the mind.’ Cp. Od.24. 62“τοῖον γὰρ ὑπώρορε μοῦσα λίγεια”. Thus “ὑφ᾽ . . ὦρσε” is ‘sent into his mind.’ Translate, ‘thrilled him with a yearning to bewail his father.’ Aristotle ( Rhet.1. 11, 12) quotes this line as an illustration of the fact that “καὶ ἐν τοῖς πένθεσι καὶ θρήνοις ἐγγίνεταί τις ἡδονή: ἡ μὲν γὰρ λύπη ἐπὶ τῷ μὴ ὑπάρχειν: ἡδονὴ δὲ ἐν τῷ μεμνῆσθαι καὶ ὁρᾷν πως ἐκεῖνον, καὶ ἃ ἔπραττε καὶ οἷος ἦν”. Cp. inf. 183; Il.23. 108, 153; 24. 507.
