Page 25, LXIX. For other pictures of rustic life among the ancients, see Idylls V and VIII of Theocritus, the Greek poet, trans- lated by Andrew Lang.
THE BATTLE OF THE LAKE REGILLUS This lay is supposed to be recited by a Roman poet, about ninety years after Horatius. Some of the persons mentioned in Horatius appear here also. Macaulay says, "The principal distinction betwe...en the lay of Horatitis and the lay of the Lake Regillus is that the former is meant to be purely Roman, while the latter, though national in its general spirit, has a slight tincture of Greek learning and of Greek 92 NOTES superstition. ... In the following poem, therefore, images and in- cidents have been borrowed, not merely without scruple, but on principle, from the incomparable battle pieces of Homer." Page 26, Title. The feast of Castor and Pollux. The twin sons of Jove were famous for their brotherly love as well as for their " manly virtues." Stanza I.
