Excerpt: ...definite than are found in connection with the Trojans themselves; and they are derived in the poem from a period of remote tradition in the story of Bellerophon, while a barbaric colour is given to the nation by such names as Maris, Amisodarus, Atymnius. A peculiarity of costume is once mentioned in connection with the companions of Sarpedon; they are called amitrochitones, wearing chitons unarmed with metal, J which perhaps may still be seen in the blouses of the combatants on the Satrap's Tomb. The accoutrements of the Lycians in the armament of Xerxes, are also barbarous. The character of the Homeric Lycians is particularly honourable, and contrasts with that of the Trojans;--it is really distinguished by a gentle chivalry. Gibbon considered Sarpedon the most amiable of the many amiable heroes of the Iliad; and since my attention to the marbles, I have resigned my former favourite Patroclus to agree with him. The generous reflectiveness of the speech of Sarpedon to Glaucus has ever been admired, and is characteristic by the correspondence of its tone with that of Glaucus to Diomed, and the moderation ascribed, not undeservedly, to Lycian character in later history. Add to these Sarpedon's dignified reproof of Hector, met only by expressive silence, --his reference of the fall of Laomedon to the injustice of his courses;; and finally, the much canvassed exchange of armour proposed by Diomed as a pledge of friendship, and assented to by Glaucus in all unsuspecting frankness and warm-heartedness. The fullest relief is given to this, not by the sacrifice of Diomed, whose conduct is left at least ambiguous, but by the shabby observation of the poet, probably volunteered for that end, that Zeus took away the senses of Glaucus, ...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Xanthian Marbles: The Nereid Monument; An Historical and Mythological Essay The elucidation of the composition of Homeric Lycia, throws light on that of Troy that has ever been an enigma. After every allowance made for Greek modes of representing foreign character, and for the unscrupulous liberties of the poetic sense of keeping, as explanatory of the great resem blance between the Greeks and Trojans of the Iliad, there still was felt to remain an unexplained phenomenon. Lycia solves the difficulty of reconciling the Greek characteristics of the Troad and Trojans, with their Asiatic and Thracian relationship, by exhibiting the possibility of a case, that seems to have appeared too hopeless even for statement as an hypothesis, -the superinduction of Greek habits and worships on a people neither Hellenic nor Pelasgian, purely barbarian. Thucydides had long ago remarked, that the later dis tinction between Greek and Barbarian was not apparent in Homer's delineation of Achaian and Trojan, and cited illustrations of the progress of the separation. But these examples gave no information how great were still the differences, in defiance of which so much sympathy and communication were practicable, and went little way to characterize the period as it must now be conceived. A period is to be inferred when, within whatever limits, attraction was as much the rule between Greek and Barbarian, as was repulsion afterwards; an age of mutual receptiveness and transfusion, in striking contrast to the antagonism that succeeded it.
