[130] We should perhaps also add the ‘reminiscence’ in _Il._ ix. 63,
where the lover of domestic strife is said to be a lawless wretch without
home or phratry. It is possible but not necessary to suppose that the
wretch in question was outlawed because of homicidal tendencies which
continued to manifest themselves afterwards. See Leaf, _H. and H._ p.
251. For a possible reference in the phrase ἀτίμηντος μετανάστης (_Il._
ix. 648), see Ridgeway, _J.H.S._ vol. vi.
