■ " And here the fulness of his mind, and his strong sense of being the devoted instrument of his country's gods to destroy their enemies, haunted him by night, as they possessed him by day. In his sleep, so he told Silenus, he fancied that the supreme God of his fathers had called him into the presence of all the gods at Carthage, who were sitting on their thrones in council. There he received a solemn charge to invade Italy ; and one of the heavenly council went with him, and with his army, t...o guide him on his way. He went on, and his divine guide commanded him, ' See .that thou look not behind thee.' But after a while, impatient of the restraint, he turned to look back, and there he beheld a huge and monstrous form, thick set all over with serpents ; wherever it moved, orchards and woods, and houses fell crashing before it. He asked of his guide in wonder what was that monstrous form. The god answered, ' Thou seest the desolation of Italy ; go on thy way, straight forward, and cast no look behind.' Thus, with no divided heart, and with an entire resignation of all personal and domestic enjoyments for ever, Hannibal went forth, at the age of twenty-seven, to do the work of his country's gods, and to redeem his early vow." There are two other historians who are noted for certain peculiarities of their style, which strongly affect the rhythm of their work.
