together, in the form of an epic poem, till about Peisistratus'
time, about five hundred years after."(23)
Two French writers--Hedelin and Perrault--avowed a similar scepticism on the
subject; but it is in the "Scienza Nuova" of Battista Vico, that we first
meet with the germ of the theory, subsequently defended by Wolf with so
much learning and acuteness. Indeed, it is with the Wolfian theory that we
have chiefly to deal, and with the following bold hypothesis, which we
will detail in the wor

for their curiosity, well worth a careful
perusal."--Coleridge, p. 211, sq.
103 The mention of Corinth is an anachronism, as that city was called
Ephyre before its capture by the Dorians. But Velleius, vol. i. p.
3, well observes, that the poet would naturally speak of various
towns and cities by the names by which they were known in his own
time.
104 "Adam, the goodliest man of men since born,
His sons, the fairest of her daughters Eve.'
--"Paradise Lost," iv. 323.
105 --_Ćsetes' tomb._ Monuments were often built on the sea-coast, and of
a considerable height, so as to serve as watch-towers or land marks.
See my notes to my prose translations of the "Odyssey," ii. p. 21,
or on Eur. "Alcest." vol. i. p. 240.
106 --_Zeleia,_ another name for Lycia. The inhabitants were greatly
devoted to the worship of Apollo. See Muller, "Dorians," vol. i. p.
248.
107 --_Barbarous tongues._ "Various as were the dialects of the
Greeks--and these differences existed not only between the several
tribes, but even between neighbouring cities--they yet acknowledged
in their language that they formed but one nation were but branches
of the same family. Homer has 'men of other tongues:' and yet Homer
had no general name for the Greek nation."--Heeren, "Ancient Greece,"
Section vii. p. 107, sq.
_ 108 The cranes._
"Marking the tracts of air, the clamorous cranes
Wheel their due flight in varied ranks descried:
And each with outstretch'd neck his rank maintains,
In marshall'd order through th' ethereal void."
Lorenzo de Medici, in Roscoe's Life, Appendix.
See Cary's Dante: "Hell," canto v.
_ 109 Silent, breathing rage._
"Thus they,
Breathing united force with fixed thought,
Moved on in silence."
