Overview

Excerpt from The Journal of Hellenic Studies, 1898, Vol. 18 DID the Greeks, and in particular did the Homeric poets, associate Death with the Horse? The great importance, in the archaeology of art and religion, of all associations connected with the grave, will perhaps give interest to a somewhat full discussion of this question, or rather of the single piece of evidence, upon which, so far as concerns Homer, the question seems to turn. Did the poets describe Hades, lord of Death, as 'lord of the goodly steeds Is this what they meant by v-revrafitoq It is the purpose of this paper to show that they did not, that this interpretation is involved in difficulties and impossibilities three-fold and four-fold, has for it neither reason nor authority, and must, with all that depends upon it, be given up.
