86 Or is May, as some relate, named after the older (maior) and June after the younger generation (iunior)? For youth is better fitted for marriage, as EuripidesFrom the Aeolus of Euripides; Nauck, Trag. Graec. Frag. p. 369, Euripides, no. 23; Cf.Moralia, 786 a, 1094 f. also says: Old age bids Love to take her leave for aye And Aphrodite wearies of the old. They do not, therefore, marry in May, but wait for June which comes next after May.

87 Why do they part the hair of brides with the point of a spear? Cf.Life of Romulus, chap. xv. (26 e).

87 Does this symbolize the marriage of the first Roman wivesThe Sabine women. by violence with attendant war, or do the wives thus learn, now that they are mated to brave and warlike men, to welcome an unaffected, unfeminine, and simple mode of beautification? Even as Lycurgus, Cf.Moralia, 189 e, 227 c, 997 c; and the Life of Lycurgus, chap. xiii. (47 c); Cf. also Comment. on Hesiod, 42 (Bernardakis, vol. vii. p. 72). by giving orders to make the doors and roofs of houses with the saw and the axe only, and to use absolutely no other tool, banished all over-refinement and extravagance.

87 Or does this procedure hint at the manner of their separation, that with steel alone can their marriage be dissolved?
