equent times,
for the worship of Jupiter. Several years ago, Dr. E.D. Clarke
deposited, in the vestibule of the public library in Cambridge,
England, a marble bust of Juno, taken from the ruins of this temple
of Jupiter, at the base of Mt. Ida.--FELTON

4. [In the repetition of this expression, the translator follows the
original.]

5. Sacred, because that part of the day was appropriate to sacrifice
and religious worship.

6. This figure is first used in the Scriptures. Job prays to be
weighed in an even balance, that God may know his integrity. Daniel
says to Belshazzar, "thou art weighed in the balances, and found
wanting," etc.

7. Jupiter's declaring against the Greeks by thunder and lightning, is
drawn (says Dacier) from truth itself. 1 Sam. ch. vii.: "And as
Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew

Homer describes a princess so tender in her love to her husband,
that she meets him on his return from every battle, and, in the joy
of seeing him again, feeds his horses with bread and wine, as an
acknowledgment to them for bringing him back.--DACIER.

10: These were the arms that Diomede had received from Glaucus.

11. [None daring to keep the field, and all striving to enter the
gates together, they obstructed their own passage, and were, of
course, compelled into the narrow interval between the foss and
rampart.

But there are different opinions about the space intended. See
Villoisson.--TR.]

13. Jupiter, in answer to the prayer of Agamemnon, sends an omen to
encourage the Greeks. The application of it is obvious: The eagle
