quem virum, etc.: taken from Pindar's τίνα θεόν, τίϝ¹ ἥρωα, τίνα δ¹ ἄνδρα κελαδήσομεν; (O. 2. 2). The attempts to trace further a spiritual resemblance between the two odes are fanciful.—heroa: demigod.—lyra is Greek, tibia Roman, but we need not press the distinction; cf. on 1. 1. 32.—acri: Quintil. 8. 2. 9 cites the epithet as a proprium. Cf. 'ear-piercing fife.' λιγείῃ, Il. 9. 186.
