καὶ ἔστιν...Ἔρως. This clause is
obviously open to suspicion as (1) anticipating the sense of ὅθεν δὴ κτλ., and (2) standing in partial contradiction to the later
statement (181 D ad init.) οὐ γὰρ
ἐρῶσι παίδων.
ὕβρεως ἀμοίρου. For ὕβρις as especially associated with juvenile
“lustihead,” cp. Euthyd. 273 B
ὑβριστὴς διὰ τὸ νέος εἶναι: Lysias XXIV. 16
ὑβρίζειν εἰκὸς... τοὺς ἔτι νέους καὶ νέαις ταῖς
διανοίαις χρωμένους: Soph. fr. 705 ὕβρις δέ
τοι...ἐν νέοις ἀνθεῖ τε καὶ φθίνει πάλιν.
ἔπιπνοι. “Driven by the
spirit”: the only other exx. of the word in Plato are Crat. 428 C and Meno 99 D
φαῖμεν ἂν θείους τε εἶναι καὶ ἐνθουσιάζειν, ἐπίπνους
ὄντας καὶ κατεχομένους ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ (cp. 179 A
n., 180 B
n.).
