Commentary on Sophocles: Oedipus Tyrannus by Sir Richard C. Jebb

πλουτίζεται with allusion to Πλόύτων, as Hades was called by an euphemism(ὑποκοριστικῶς, schol. Aristoph. Pl. 727),ὅτι ἐκ τῆς κάτωθεν ἀνίεται ὁ πλοῦτος (crops and metals), as Plato says, Plat. Crat. 403a. Cp. Soph. fr. 251 (Nauck(2)) (from the satyric drama Inachus )Πλούτωνος (= Ἅιδοὐ ἥδ’ ἐπείσοδος: Lucian Timon 21(Πλοῦτος speaks), ὁ Πλούτων (Hades) ἀποστέλλει με παρ’ αὐτοὺς ἅτε πλουτοδότης καὶ μεγαλόδωρος καὶ αὐτὸς ὤν· δηλοῖ γοῦν καὶ τῷ ὀνόματι. Schneid. cp. Statius Theb. 2.48 pallentes devius umbras Trames agit nigrique Iovis vacua atria ditat Mortibus.
