" Long since enough have we atoned for the perjuries of Laomedon's Troy." ^VlRGII.. 71 CHAPTER VI " The Tale of Troy Divine." If we would fain see the ideal beauty of the early Greek imagination in a form of flesh-and-blood reality, we must foUow Helen through the Homeric poems. Homer plunges at one leap into the tenth year of the siege. The battle is set in array " Army against army," and, while the hostile forces yet await the signal for the battle, Paris springs forth alone from the Tro- jan... ranks. Godlike is his beauty, and with the love of personal adornment, which befits his character, he wears a spotted leopard's hide upon his shoulders. " When to the van, before the sons of fame Whom Troy sent forth, the beauteous Paris came, In form a God ! the panther's speckled hide riow'd o'er his armor with an easy pride. His bended bow across his shoulder flung, His sword beside him negligently hung, Two pointed spears he shook with gallant grace. And dared the bravest of the Grecian race As thus, with glorious air and proud disdain.
