Classics nonsense

[darcydodo]

I was looking at the Loeb introduction to Pythian 4, and somehow I read "Aphrodite devises the iynx for Jason to seduce Medea" as "Aphrodite devises the iynx for Jason to seduce Hera." Which would be a very strange variant of the myth. But then again, Pindar is very strange. To his credit, however, he's not actually that strange, and only the gap between my eyes and my brain can produce that level of oddity.

I read "Aphrodite devises the lynx for Jason to seduce Medea" - sort of Zeus-y.
