[130] σκίδναται, ‘is led in rills.’
ἑτέρωθεν=‘over against it,’ as in Il.6. 247.The word does not imply distance between the two fountains, but merely their position, opposite one another. ἵησι, intrans., as Od.11. 239“ὃς πολὺ κάλλιστος ποταμῶν ἐπὶ γαῖαν ἵησι”. This second spring was carried from outside underneath the entrance of the court, and issued, perhaps in a basin, in the centre of the court, midway between the entrance and the banquet-hall. But the word ὅθεν refers immediately to κρήνη, implying that the townspeople drew water at the fountain-head, or, at any rate, at some point in the stream before it reached the “αὐλῆς οὐδός”.Hide browse bar Your current position in the text is marked in blue.
