Authority for their deletions does not aflcet the argument. If they had, then tlie pre- Alexandrian confusion was even greater than our existing evidence proves. And we should then have lo assume (I) that the attempt to expurgate these passages had been made before Zenodotus (which is likely enough) ; (2) that in the turmoil of texts the critics were largely decided by expurgatory motives. I append a rough list of some typical ' unseemly ' passages which were condemned by ancient critics : Unse...emliness in the Gods : A 390-400 (gods frightened by Briareos) ; H 111-lS (Agamemnon's blame of Zeus); B 157-08 (Hera to Athena); r 3!iU-41S and 4'23-0 (Helen and Aphrodite) ; 35-40 (violent speech of Zeus followed by apology) ; 385-7 (Athena jjuts on hoi- fatiiers tunic) ; V THE EXPURGATIONS 143 AA-here the Gods misbehave more grossly than usual, passages Avhich attribute to the heroes coarse language or unworthy motives, above all, passages where the suspicious e^'e of a moralist saw traces of the work of those infamous persons who misinterpreted the relations of Achilles and Patroclus.
