 Procris-Footnotes-Excerpt from Sharon Fermor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The image of her prostrate body, mourned by the faun and dog, functions not simply as a reference to the Ovidian myth, or a poetic evocation of Correggio's text, but as a didactic image, an exhortation to proper behavior that was aimed primarily at the female viewer.
Conversely while at the beginning of the play it is Cephalus who doubts Procris, and who presumes to test her fidelity, he is exonerated from blame on the grounds that he of a jealous goddess, and of his unwitting insult to Aurora, and not his actions.
Cephalus and the javelin are conspicuous by their absence, while Procris, the instrument of her own death, lies exposed before the viewer, a reminder of the consequences of rash and unseemly action.

 The discussion with Cephalus (Republic, I)
This other "soul" has Cephalus as his "head", that is, a very "materialistic", biological logos that indeed is no logos at all in the sense Socrates understand logos; and this is precisely the point the discussion between Cephalus and Socrates is making.
Cephalus' first answer deals with the ability to overcome the tyranny of passions, that is, read in light of what is to come, the "internal" dimension of justice, the harmony within the soul itself.
Cephalus is not a logos, only a "head", and he doesn't even strive for an onoma, but only for a "fitting (epieikès)" use of his wealth.
