    "Even assuming that the demagogue is a completely unprincipled, opportunist tool of the oligarchy, in some cases, nevertheless, just from the rhetoric, you’re going to get a sense of what the concerns of that particular constituency are." I should hope so!

    Badian says Xen. Hell. book 7 "is much shorter, as compared with 3-6, as well as disjointed." In the fn he says that books 3-6 comprise 172 Teuber pages, book 7, 43. That means the average page length of books 3-6 is... 43. ??

    I've only ever seen "tou demou" translated as "of the deme," rather than his being the founder "of the people." That's probably right, since I don't know what the latter would mean.

    On this basis that ancestor had supposedly treated Herakles to hospitality (xenismos), since they were half-brothers. We forget (or at least I do) how many Greeks of the later fifth and fourth centuries still insisted on heroic or divine ancestry. Think of all the exx we've lost!

    Had forgotten this remarkable detail: the family of Lysis, Socrates' interlocutor in the eponymous dialogue, claimed that their ancestor was the son of "Zeus and the daughter of the founder [archegetes] of the deme [sc. Aixone]" (205d, not mentioned by Stroud in Hesperia 1984).

    Saint-Just's best-known dictum is "on ne peut point régner innocemment." Does any thoughtful critic across the political spectrum these days oppose this idea? In that sense we're all Jacobins, even the most self-proclaimed Burkeans. Pretty impressive, if you ask me.

    Note my commentary is purely philological! I didn't assume any theological positions ex ante.

    Tocqueville famously told "his" peasants in 1848 to go to the tavern only *after* they vote, not before. But this enterprising Iowan asks, "Why not both?"
