died, it is said, the third day after. He was buried in Ios, and this is
his epitaph:

'Here the earth covers the sacred head of divine Homer, the glorifier of
hero-men.'

ENDNOTES:

[Footnote 1101: sc. in Boeotia, Locris and Thessaly: elsewhere the
movement was forced and unfruitful.]

[Footnote 1102: The extant collection of three poems, "Works and Days",
"Theogony", and "Shield of Heracles", which alone have come down to us
complete, dates at least from the 4th century A.D.: the title of the
Paris Papyrus (Bibl. Nat. Suppl. Gr. 1099) names only these three
works.]

[Footnote 1103: "Der Dialekt des Hesiodes", p. 464: examples are AENEMI
(W. and D. 683) and AROMENAI (ib. 22).]

[Footnote 1104: T.W. Allen suggests that the conjured Delian and Pythian
hymns to Apollo ("Homeric Hymns" III) may have suggested this version of
the story, the Pythian hymn showing strong continental influence.]

Stesichorus.]

[Footnote 1109: Possibly the division of this poem into two books is a
division belonging solely to this 'developed poem', which may have
included in its second part a summary of the Tale of Troy.]

[Footnote 1112: Odysseus appears to have been mentioned once only--and
that casually--in the "Returns".]

[Footnote 1113: M.M. Croiset note that the "Aethiopis" and the "Sack"
were originally merely parts of one work containing lays (the Amazoneia,
Aethiopis, Persis, etc.), just as the "Iliad" contained various lays
such as the Diomedeia.]

[Footnote 1114: No date is assigned to him, but it seems likely that he
was either contemporary or slightly earlier than Lesches.]

[Footnote 1115: Cp. Allen and Sikes, "Homeric Hymns" p. xv. In the text
I have followed the arrangement of these scholars, numbering the Hymns
to Dionysus and to Demeter, I and II respectively: to place "Demeter"
after "Hermes", and the Hymn to Dionysus at the end of the collection
seems to be merely perverse.]
