    Commentary on Homeric Hymns, Hymn 3 to Apollo. line 194.

    [194]  For the connexion of the Charites with Aphrodite see n. on h. Aphr. 61, and for the Horae n. on vi. 5. With the line cf. Panyas. ap. Athen. ii. 38 Charites t' elachon kai eüphrones Hôrai; Plat. Symp.vii. 5(dance of Charites, Horae, and Nymphs). For the conjunction of Charites and Muses cf. Theog. 64 f., Sappho fr. 22 deute nun, abrai Charites kallikomoi te Mousai. The Charites are associated with Apollo in literature ( Pind. Ol.14. 10) and art ( Paus.ix. 35. 1, of the Delian Apollo).

    196=Il. 18.594.

    197-199. Artemis is “divinely tall and most divinely fair” beyond the other goddesses. Cf. Od. 6.107 f., where she is conspicuous among her attendant nymphs. In xxvii. 15 f. Artemis leads the Muses and Charites in the dance. metamelpetai: not loosely used of dancing only; the goddess sang as she danced, according to the regular practice; cf. Il. 16.182 melpomenêisin en chorôi Artemidos. So the Phaeacian girls sang as they played ball, Od. 6.100 f.
