single mention of a she-ass (Eselin) and that 563c contains the Republic’s one and only mentionof asses. There is one non-sex-specific mention of asses in Beyond Good and Evil. In section 8Nietzsche observes, “There is a point in every philosophy when the philosopher’s ‘conviction’appears on the stage – or to use the language of an ancient Mystery:
Adventavit asinus,Pulcher et fortissimus.”[The ass arrived,beautiful and most brave.]
Nietzsche’s adoption of the language of the Mysteries reminds one of the nod toward Aeschylusin 237. Note too that he prefaces the examination of women in 232-239 by announcing that itwill be based on something like what he here calls “the philosopher’s ‘conviction’”; what hecalls conviction in section 8 he describes more extensively in 231 as “something unteachable,some granite of spiritual fatum, of predetermined decision and answer to predetermined selectedquestions” (231).
