And again:—
‘O heavens! verily in the house of Hades there is soul and ghostly form but no mind at all[3]!’
Again of Tiresias:—
‘[To him even after death did Persephone grant mind,] that he alone should be wise; but the other souls are flitting shades[4].’
Again:—
‘The soul flying from the limbs had gone to Hades, lamenting her fate, leaving manhood and youth[5].’
Again:—
[387] ‘And the soul, with shrilling cry, passed like smoke beneath the earth[6].’
And,—
‘As bats in hollow of mystic cavern, whenever any of them has dropped out of the string and falls from the rock, fly shrilling and cling to one another, so did they with shrilling cry hold together as they moved[7].’
