[30]: Such is the meaning of the passage as here quoted from Homer; but in two other places (De audiendis poetis, 24 B, and De exilio, 600 D) Plutarch follows Plato (Republic, p. 379 D), who wrote κηρῶν ἔμπλειοι, ὁ μὲν ἐσθλῶν αὐτὰρ ὁ δειλῶν., thus making one urn of evil and one of good. Metrical considerations make it more than probable that the line found in Plato was not taken from Homer, but it is only fair to say that these considerations could have had no weight with Plutarch.
