THE GREEKS.

FROM THE QUARTERLY REVIEW, NO. 51.

It is evident that the first two books of the Iliad are
addressed to a feeling which has predominated among
the Greeks from the earliest per iods down to the present
moment. In the first lines almost of that poem, which,
though private taste may sometimes give the preference
to other compositions, the general judgment must pro-
nounce to be the most wonderful effort of human intel-
lect, the Greeks appear to us more in the character of
sailors than of soldiers. It is along the sea-shore that
the Grecian army is drawn up; and it is by the sea-
side, and in the solemn act of purification by its t%aters,
that the first movements of that army take place. It is
by the side of the far•sounding sea that Chryses walks
in the sadness of his heart, and addresses to Apollo that
prayer which bt ings down the vengeance of Heaven.
—lt is along the unfruitful sea that the Royal Heralds
proceed to execute that message which occasions. the
reader so much anxiety and suspense ; and it is from
the bosom of the ocean's indefinite space, that Thetis
rises like a mist, to soothe or dispel those sorrows which
the sufferer's own position suggests were not to be re-
moved by the feebler abstractions of mete land. To
Grecian ears, the catalogue of ships which crowds the
second book of the Iliad would have been agreeable bad
it been tv. ice its length. What the sea was to the old
Greeks generally, it became to Athens in after times
mote particularly ; and she had some of the same sea-
sons for her predilection. She was the freebooter of the
olden time, though carrying on her piracy in a more
civiliz?d manner. It was the element, beside., which
just suited her character Calm or convulsed, in sun-
shine or in storm, it was the mirror in which she saw
her variable character exhibited, and where she tasted
those fierce extremes in which she so much delighted.
On the sea she felt her own buoyancy cf spirit ; on the
sea she nursed her spirit of commercial enterprise; on
the sea she combatted, with most success, her noblest
foe of ancient days; an.d the sea may yet find her an
hour of vengeance, over that more ignoble Inc of modern
days, who, after five, centuries of insult and oppression,
remains still to her victim as the conquert,r of yesterday.
