" The sweat," says the poet, " streamed from the spectators in anxiety." But he knows too accurately every posture and stroke of the heroes, quite in Homeric fashion. Homek himself is almost stereotype in his own weakness. I will read a few lines from the single combat in the third book of the Eiad, v. 344. There, at short distance, stood tiey both | upon the ground appointed, Their adverse lances brandishing, | indignant each at other, First Alexander forward threw | the spear Tfith lengthy sh...adow And hit the shield of Atreus' son | which equal was on all sides ; Nor might the metal force its wayj | but first the point was broken, Caught in the sturdy buckler. Next, | Atrides Menelaos With pray'r to father Jupiter | uprose to hurl his weapon. He spake, and poising forward threw | the spear -svith lengthy shadow, And hit the shield of Priam's son | which equal was on all sides. Right through the shield's resplendency | hurtled the massy weapon, And thro' the corslet's crafty work | with force uncheck'd was planted : Close to his side from front to back | it thro' the tunic glided Harmless : for quick the hero flinch'd | and gloomy fate avoided.
