grbs-14081	Buxton, Richard Fernando	Instructive Irony in Herodotus: The Socles Scene	2012	28	.pdf	application/pdf	10429	338	53	The imagery and language recur later in Herodotus’ only direct mention of Pericles, the emblematic figure of imperial Athens. Indeed, the connection between the contexts of 5.78 and the Socles scene is reinforced through the use of the verb αὐξάνω in the passive to describe the post-Pisistratid flourishing of Athens by both He- rodotus and the Spartans.33 The verb, moreover, is clearly a marked term for Herodotus, since it is also used to describe the growth of Cypselus after he evades assassination (5.92ε.1), and thus like the lion portent supplies another verbal link between Socles’ tyrants and imperial Athens.	cache/grbs-14081.pdf	txt/grbs-14081.txt
