compared to her pathetic address
to Hector in the scene at the Scaean gate. It forms indeed, a most
beautiful and eloquent pendant to that.--FELTON.

18. [This, according to the Scholiast, is a probable sense of
{prosphatos}.--He derives it {apo ton neosti pephasmenon ek ges
phyton}.--See Villoisson.]--TR.

19. Helen is throughout the Iliad a genuine lady, graceful in motion
and speech, noble in her associations, full of remorse for a fault
for which higher powers seem responsible, yet grateful and
affectionate towards those with whom that fault had connected her.
I have always thought the following speech in which Helen laments
Hector and hints at her own invidious and unprotected situation in
Troy, as almost the sweetest passage in the poem.--H.N. COLERIDGE.

20. [{Hos hoi g'amphiepon taphon Hektoros hippodamoio}.]
