ὁ σπουδαῖος γὰρ ἕκαστα κρίνει ὀρθῶς, καὶ ἐν ἑκάστοις τἀληθὲς αὐτῷ φαίνεται. καθ᾽ ἑκάστην γὰρ ἕξιν ἴδιά ἐστι καλὰ καὶ ἡδέα, καὶ διαφέρει πλεῖστον ἴσως ὁ σπουδαῖος τῷ τἀληθὲς ἐν ἑκάστοις ὁρᾶν, ὥσπερ κανὼν καὶ μέτρον αὐτῶν ὤν. ἐν τοῖς πολλοῖς δὲ ἡ ἀπάτη διὰ τὴν ἡδονὴν ἔοικε γίνεσθαι: οὐ γὰρ οὖσα ἀγαθὸν φαίνεται.
1, Is it possible to read literally ἐν ἑκάστοις τἀληθὲς αὐτῷ φαίνεται as "the truth appears by him ", cause that dat.could be translated like this, and it changes signification of sentence.
2,ὁ σπουδαῖος τῷ τἀληθὲς ἐν ἑκάστοις ὁρᾶν, in this case, τῷ means for what~~~
3, ἡ ἀπάτη διὰ τὴν ἡδονὴν ἔοικε γίνεσθαι: οὐ γὰρ οὖσα ἀγαθὸν φαίνεται, can I reform it like "ἡ ἀπάτη διὰ τὴν ἡδονὴν ἔοικε καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη φαίνεται γίνεσθαι οὐ οὖσα ἀγαθὸν"......................if not, would u pls give me a hand~~

Re: 2question about dat. in Arist.1113a and....
Do you mean something like "is caused to appear by him"? I don't know if φαίνομαι can have a truly passive sense like that, but the dative meaning "by" is from what I've read rare except with perfect verbs. I think it's almost certainly just "appears to him".medea wrote:1, Is it possible to read literally ἐν ἑκάστοις τἀληθὲς αὐτῷ φαίνεται as "the truth appears by him ", cause that dat.could be translated like this, and it changes signification of sentence.
It goes with ὁρᾶν and is need beause διαφέρω requires the dative for the thing that makes you differ, so "the good man differes in that he sees..."2,ὁ σπουδαῖος τῷ τἀληθὲς ἐν ἑκάστοις ὁρᾶν, in this case, τῷ means for what~~~
I would expand the last sentence as ἡ γὰρ ἡδονή, οὐκ οὖσα ἀγαθὸν, φαίνεται ἀγαθὸν εἶναι.3, ἡ ἀπάτη διὰ τὴν ἡδονὴν ἔοικε γίνεσθαι: οὐ γὰρ οὖσα ἀγαθὸν φαίνεται, can I reform it like "ἡ ἀπάτη διὰ τὴν ἡδονὴν ἔοικε καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη φαίνεται γίνεσθαι οὐ οὖσα ἀγαθὸν"......................if not, would u pls give me a hand~~
