	[EMLS 1.3 (December 1995): 5.1-12] Milton and the Sexy Seals: A Peephole into the Horton Years
		The general context is of total inversion, of sea-creatures grazing on land; and the vision of disorder climaxes with the cross-species mating.
		Lycophron writes prophecies, so his diction and allusion are densely obscure -- even the ancients thought so, calling him "skoteinos," "the dark or obscure" poet.
		He latches on to the fact that Lycophron had reanimated and intensified the topos: so mixed up were the domains of land and sea, that seals mated with humans in bedrooms.

		LYCOPHRON, Greek poet and grammarian, was born at Chalcis in Euboea.

	Lycophron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The poem is evidently intended to display the writer's knowledge of obscure names and uncommon myths; it is full of unusual words of doubtful meaning gathered from the older poets, and long-winded compounds coined by the author.
		It was very popular in the Byzantine period, and was read and commented on very frequently; the collection of scholia by Isaac and John Tzetzes is very valuable, and the manuscripts of the Cassandra are numerous.
		A few well-turned lines which have been preserved from Lycophron's tragedies show a much better style; they are said to have been much admired by Menedemus of Eretria, although the poet had ridiculed him in a satyric drama.

		The summons was disregarded, and, notwithstanding a second message to the same effect, conveyed by Lycophron's sister, and backed by her earnest entreaties, he persisted in refusing to return to Corinth as long as his father was there.
		The language of the author of the Lives of the Ten Orators is such as to leave it doubtful whether it was Lycophron or his father Lycurgus who was put to death by the thirty tyrants.
		A son, apparently, of Jason, and one of the brothers of Thebe, wife of Alexander, the tyrant of Pherae, in whose murder he took part together with his sister and his two brothers, Tisiphonus and Peitholaus.

		This story did not trouble the dull-brained elder, but Lycophron was so affected by it that on his return home he refused to speak to his father, and acted so surlily that Periander in anger turned him out of his house.
		Lycophron's only reply was that his father had broken his own edict by coming and talking with him, and therefore himself owed the penalty to Apollo.
		She made a strong appeal, begging him not to let the power pass away from their family and their father's wealth fall into strange hands, and reminding him that mercy was a higher virtue than justice.

		Lycophron gives also specific directions about his tomb; he gives legacies of money or jewelry to various old associates; he mentions certain favorite slaves to receive freedom, and as specifically orders certain others (victims of his displeasure) to be kept in bondage.
		When now the tidings go out that Lycophron's nearest relative has "closed his mouth," after he has breathed his last, all his male kinsfolk and all other persons who hope to be remembered in the will promptly appear in the Agora in fl himatia[2] and hasten to the barber shops to have their heads shaved.
		Lycophron's elderly sister has ashes sprinkled upon her gray head and ever and anon utters piteous wails.

		As we have seen, Lycophron and pseudo-Aristotle rely on a written authority, either Lycus or Timaeus, that is ultimately based on the local guide tradition at Cumae.
		The other four accounts must be treated as a separate grroup because they have been shaped by a distinct pattern, absent from pseudo-Aristotle and Lycophron, which determines the sequence in which the elements of their descriptions are presented.

		As I said previously, Alexander and Lycophron corrected the texts of the dramatists; the texts of the poets were corrected first by Zenodotus, and later by Aristarchus.

		Lycophron however did not deign even to give an answer to the bearer of his message.
		When she had reported this, Periander the third time sent an envoy, and said that he desired himself to come to Corcyra, exhorting Lycophron at the same time to come back to Corinth and to be his successor on the throne.
		The son having agreed to return on these terms, Periander was preparing to sail to Corcyra and his son to Corinth; but the Corcyreans, having learnt all that had taken place, put the young man to death, in order that Periander might not come to their land.

		Lycophron, however, did not even deign to ask the bearer of this message a question.
		But Periander's heart was set upon the youth, so he sent again to him, this time by his own daughter, the sister of Lycophron, who would, he thought, have more power to persuade him than any other person.

		Zenodotus, for example, had the task of gathering the written versions of the work of all the Greek poets from Homer onward and revising them to create editions that were not corrupted by omissions or additions.
		He carried out this job with the help of two other men, both poets, Lycophron of Chalcis and Alexander of Aetolis, who were responsible for comedy and tragedy.
		Lycophron became famous later for the learned obscurity of one of his poems, Alexandra, sometimes know as Cassandra.

		One consequence drawn by various thinkers from such emphasis on physis concerned traditional social distinctions which they challenged in various ways: Hippias (G&W #5, p.216) questioned “national” boundaries, claiming that by nature all humans are related and friends or “compatriots,” thus advocating a form of cosmopolitanism.
		Lycophron (#2, p.275) polemicized against the privileges of aristocracy and traditional attempts to explain these by inborn, natural differences among humans (e.g., Theognis, Pindar).
		The laws of the polis, then, are based on convention, just as the polis itself is based on a “social contract” (Lycophron in Aristotle, Politics 1280b6-12).

		Le poème de Lycophron est obscur et difficile ; la tradition, du moins, depuis l’antiquité, le répète à l’envi.
		Plutôt qu’un texte obscur, le poème de Lycophron a l’apparence serrée d’une longue chaîne ou trame de paroles débarrassées de tout élément superflu qui ne contribuerait pas à la construction d’un sens exigeant.
		La Cassandre de Lycophron, peut-on avancer, sait pour deux raisons : 1) à cause de sa prescience de prophétesse inspirée par Apollon ; 2) à cause de son statut de personnage forgé par un poète érudit de l’époque hellénistique.

		Les témoignages anciens le situent au IIIe siècle avant J.-C. Outre son activité de poète, Lycophron a eu une œuvre scientifique puisqu’il a travaillé à la Bibliothèque du Musée d’Alexandrie où il était chargé de recenser l’ensemble des comédies écrites depuis l’époque classique et d’en préparer l’édition savante.
		De l’œuvre abondante de Lycophron, il n’est souvent resté que des titres, sauf pour le poème inclassable qu’est Alexandra.

		Battus, one of the two generals present at the action, went with a company to defend the village of Solygia, which was unfortified; Lycophron remaining to give battle with the rest.
		At this moment a Corinthian company having come to the relief of the left wing, routed and pursued the Athenian right to the sea, whence they were in their turn driven back by the Athenians and Carystians from the ships.
		Meanwhile the rest of the army on either side fought on tenaciously, especially the right wing of the Corinthians, where Lycophron sustained the attack of the Athenian left, which it was feared might attempt the village of Solygia.

		Protagoras (the Protagoras of Plato's Theaetetus), consider the advantage of the individual within the framework of the interests of the community, and such a view is maintained by the Anonymus Iamblichi also.
		Similarly with respect to the various forms of constitutions, monarchy (or rather tyranny) is favoured by Plato's Callicles as well as by his Polus and by his Thrasymachus and oligarchy by his Hippias, whereas Antiphon seems to argue rather for democracy and with some modifications Protagoras and the Anonymus Iamblichi, Lycophron and Phaleas also.
		Throughout the author bases his discussion on a competent and very careful examination and interpretation of the relevant texts, relying however too much, I think, on Plato's representations of the sophists in his dialogues, and a thorough consideration of most of the secondary literature which he uses with commendable discrimination.
