Telemachus orders the wounded to be carri- ed off, and takes great care of them, particularly of Phalanthus. He performs the solemnities at the funer;il of Hippia')- himself, and having collected his ashes in a golden uin, presents them to his brother. Jupiter, sun-ounded by the celestial deities, sur- veyed the slaughter of the allies from the summit of Olympus ; and, looking into futurity, he beheld the chiefs, whose thread of life was that day to be divided by the fates. Every eye, in the di...vine assembly, was fixed upon the countenance of Jupiter, to discover his will : but the father of gods and men thus addressed them, with a voice in which majesty was tempered with sweetness : ' ' You see the distress of the allies, and the triumph of Adrastus ; but the scene is deceitful : the prosperity and honour of the wicked are short ; the victorv of Adrastus, the im- pious and perfidious, shall not be complete. The allies are punished by this misfortune, only that they may correct their faults, and learn better to conceal their councils : Minerva is preparing new laurels for Telemachus, whom she delights to honour.
