Footnotes for Book XI:
1. Cynyras was king of Cyprus, and this probably alludes to some
historical fact. Cyprus was famous for its minerals.

2. [{Treis hekaterth'}--three on a side, This is evidently the proper
punctuation, though it differs from that of all the editions that I
have seen. I find it no where but in the _Venetian Scholium_.]--TR.

3. It is finely remarked by Trollope, that, of all the points of
resemblance which may be discovered between the sentiments,
associations and expressions of Homer, and those of the sacred
writings, this similitude is perhaps the most striking; and there
can be little doubt that it exhibits a traditional vestige of the
patriarchal record of God's covenant.--FELTON.

4. [Quatre-crested. So I have rendered {tetraphaleron} which literally
signifies having four cones. The cone was a tube into which the
crest was inserted. The word quatre-crested may need a precedent
for its justification, and seems to have a sufficient one in the

5. [This seems the proper import of {egdoupesan}. Jupiter is called
{erigdoutos}.]--TR.

6. [The translator follows Clarke in this interpretation of a passage

was equally divided, and proceed till they met in the middle of it.

8. Time was then measured by the progression of the sun, and the parts
of the day were distinguished by the various employments.

9. [{olmos}.]

10. [The Grecians at large are indiscriminately called Danai, Argives,
and Achaians, in the original. The Phthians in
particular--Hellenes. They were the troops of Achilles.]--TR.

11. [{Anemotrephes}--literally--wind-nourished.]--TR.

12. In making Ulysses direct Diomede, Homer intends to show that valor
should be under the guidance of wisdom. In the 8th Book, when
Diomede could hardly be restrained by the thunder of Jupiter, his
valor is checked by the wisdom of Nestor.

13. Diomede does not fear Hector, but Jupiter, who, he has previously
said, will give the Trojans the day.

14. [In the original--{kera aglae}.--All that I pretend to know of
this expression is that it is ironical, and may relate e
