παιδεία ἐκλήθη. For
“education” as “the right use of melody and
verse,” compare what Plato has to say about the psychological effects of
music and its place in education in Rep. II., III., Laws
II., VIII. Of course παιδεία in the ordinary sense
includes also gymnastic; cp. Rep. II. 376 E, Laws 659 D: in dancing to music (ὀρχηστική
Laws 816 A) we have a combination of
both. It is worth noticing that in the Pythagorean quadrivium
μουσική had a place beside ἀριθμητική, γεωμετρία and σφαιρική or
ἀστρονομία: see Adam's Republic
vol. II. pp. 163 ff.
πάλιν...ὁ αὐτὸς λόγος. Pausanias was
the author of the λόγος, cp. 186 B
supra.
