HOMER'S ABODE OF THE LIVING. AN ELUCIDATION os TIIE VOYAGES or omrssaus. In the pursuit of this inquiry, we are travelling over ground more beaten perhaps than that of any other literary controversy. HERMAN MERIVALE. Voss und Ukert weisen die Versuche der Alien ab, dem Dichter die Kennt- niss der Kugelgestalt der Erde geben zu wollen .... Von allen Zeiten her hat man probiret, die Irifahrten des Odysseus zu erldutern und ist auf die aller- verschiedensten Wege gelcommen .... An planloses Umherirren wo eben ein Wunderland sich darbot, an Anbringen und Auslcramen geographischer Kennt- nisse von Seiten des Dichters, und Aehnliches, ist nicht zu denken. K. H. W. V5LcKER. As the heroes of the Iliad were as familiar to the Greek navigators as the saints of the Church Calendar were to the Spanish and Portuguese discoverers Qf the New World, and as they were treated by them with the same sort of respect and veneration, there can be little doubt that they left the same sort Qf memorials of them l:i.e., by naming localities and waters for theml wherever they made discoveries or piratical settlements: which memorials being after- wards found among barbarous nations by succeeding navigators, when the discoverers were forgotten and the settlers vanished, they concluded that those heroes had actually been there. And as the works of the Greek poets, by the general diffusion of the Greek language after the Macedonian conquest, became universally known and admired, those nations themselves eagerly co-operated in the deception by ingrafting the Greelc fables upon their own, and greedily catching at any links of aginity which might connect them with a people from whom all that was excellent in art, literature, and society seemed to be dertved.1 R. P. KNIGHT. THREE years ago, in these pages, a new interpretation of the cosmological ideas of Homer, and of the ancients gen- erally, was presented, and, as far as space permitted, illus- trated. Two years ago, in the paper entitled I-Iomeris Abode of the Dead, a further vindication of the new view was given in a form which seems to have carried convic- tion to all scholars thus far heard from in this country and 1 The Classical Journal, London, 1823, p. 69.
