έπί τω πίνοντι For this use of έπί, see LSJ s. v. B.I.l.b.
5-6 (B.) τον έπιδέξια / λέγειν The repetition from 4-5 is colloquial
and indicates ‘an indignant or incredulous question’; see Diggle 1981. 50-1 for
examples and bibliography; Stevens 1976. 38-9; Lopez Eire 1996. 114.
Απολλον Henderson on Ar. Lys. 296 notes that ‘Herakles, like Poseidon
and Apollo, was invoked (only by men) in reaction to a sudden, extraordinary
or frightening event’; e. g. Ar. Ra. 659; Amphis fr. 34.1; Eub. fr. 89.4; Alex. fr.
177.6 with Arnott 1996 ad loc.; Meinhardt 1892. 28-33; Wright 1911. 16-21.
έπί τεθνηκότι The reference to speaking in honour of the dead refers to
the περίδειπνον, a poorly documented part of Greek funerary custom; e.g.
Poll. 8.66; EM p. 699.43; CPG 1.130-131.28 (cf. Leutsch-Schneidewin 1839 ad
loc.; Suda o 874; Phot, π 656); Pfister 1937. 720-4; Kurtz-Boardman 1971. 146;
Garland 1985. 146. The περίδειπνον took place in the home and thus is to
be distinguished from the θρήνος or any other graveside lament or praise
of the dead. This fragment is perhaps the earliest literary evidence for the
rite, followed by D. 18.288 (cf. Wankel 1976 ad loc.); Anaxipp. Com. fr. 1.42;
Hegesipp. Com. fr. 1.11; Men. Asp. 233 (cf. Beroutsos 2005 ad loc.); fr. 270,
although all refer to it only in passing. Accounts of dining expenses (PTebt.
I 118.1; 120.117; 177; 209) attest to the continued existence of the custom in
Egypt at least into the first century BC; cf. also Cic. Leg. 2.63. The περίδειπνον
also gave its name to a literary genre, apparently related to the encomium,
which arose in the fourth(?) century (cf. D.L. 3.2 [Speusippus]; 9.115 [Timo]);
see Martin 1931. 162-6.
