Περὶ ποιητικῆς

Περὶ ποιητικῆς Aristotle
20 Or again by ambiguity, e.g. παρῴχηκεν δὲ πλέω νύξ, where πλείω is ambiguous.Hom. Il. 10.252: Come now, the night is far spent and at hand is the dawning, Far across are the stars and more than two parts of the night-time Are gone, but a third is still left us. Problem: If more than two parts are gone, a third cannot be left. Solution: πλέω here means full, i.e., the full night of two-thirds = full two-thirds of the night is gone, and so Homer’s arithmetic is saved.
21 Others according to the habitual use of the phrase, e.g. wine and water is called wine so you get the phrase greaves of new-wrought tin;Problem: Greaves are made not of tin but of an alloy of tin and copper. Solution: Compounds are called by the name of the more important partner. Just as a mixture of wine and water is called wine, so here an alloy of tin and copper is called tin. So, too, is whisky and water called whisky. or workers in iron are called braziers, and so Ganymede is said to pour wine for Zeus, though they do not drink wine. This last might however be metaphorical.Nectar:gods :: wine: men. Therefore, according to the rules of metaphor in chapter 21, nectar may be called wine or the wine of the gods.
