Plato, Protagoras 339b τυγχάνει + perf.prtc. of μέλω

Post by ἑκηβόλος »

Plato, Protagoras 339b wrote:τοῦτο ἐπίστασαι τὸ ᾆσμα, ἢ πᾶν σοι διεξέλθω;

καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπον ὅτι οὐδὲν δεῖ: ἐπίσταμαί τε γάρ, καὶ πάνυ μοι τυγχάνει μεμεληκὸς τοῦ ᾄσματος.
Is this irony? He seems to be saying that he chanced upon something that he spent a great deal of care on.


Does the μοι serve a double function or is the sense just understood in the second part of the phrase?
τί δὲ ἀγαθὸν τῇ πομφόλυγι συνεστώσῃ ἢ κακὸν διαλυθείσῃ;
