Lastly, there are a more numerous class of names, which are local in this sense, that Homer only mentions them in connection with particular parts of Greece, but which being clearly tribal and not territorial, stand clearly distinguished from the names which owed, or may have owed, their origin to the different cities or districts of the country, such as Phocian (Il. ii. 517), Rhodian (654), Elian (Il. xi. 670), or Ithacan (Odyssey _passim_): and likewise from the names which already were, or afterwards came to be, in established connection with those of districts, though they have no appearance of having been originally territorial: such as Arcadian (Il. ii. 603, 611), Bœotian (Il. ii. 494), Athenian (Il. ii. 546, 551). Of the class now before us there are some which are of importance in various degrees with regard to the views of primitive history to be gathered from the Homeric poems. As such I rank 1. Καδμεῖοι, Cadmeans, in Thebes, Il. iv. 388 and elsewhere: and with this, as an equivalent, Καδμείωνες, Il. iv. 385 and elsewhere. 2. Ἰάονες, Ionians, in Athens, Il. xiii. 685. 3. Δωριέες, Dorians, in Crete, Od. xix. 177. A town Dorion is also mentioned in the Catalogue as within the territories of Nestor, Il. ii. 594. 4. Κεφάλληνες, Cephallenes, in the islands under Ulysses, Il. ii. 631. 5. Ἐφυροὶ, Ephyri, in Thessaly, Il. xiii. 301. 6. Σελλοὶ or Ἑλλοὶ, Helli, in northern Thessaly, Il. xvi. 234. 7. Καύκωνες, Caucones, in southern Greece, Od. iii. 366: (and among the Trojan allies, Il. x. 429, xx. 329.) 8. Ἐπεῖοι, Epeans, in Elis, Il. ii. 619, and on the opposite or northern coast and islands of the Corinthian Gulf: compare Il. ii. 627, and xiii. 691. 9. Ἄβαντες, Abantes, in Eubœa, Il. ii. 536. 10. Μυρμίδονες, Myrmidones, in Phthia, Il. ii. 684. 11. Κουρῆτες, Curetes, in Ætolia, Il. ix. 529. 12. Φλεγύαι, Phlegyæ, in Thessaly, Il. xiii. 301. 13. Φῆρες, in Thessaly, Il. i. 267, 8, ii. 733, 4. And lastly it may be mentioned that in the single word Γραῖα, used (Il. ii. 498) to designate one of the numerous Bœotian towns, we have an isolated indication of the existence in the heroic times of the germ of the names _Greece_ and _Greek_, which afterwards ascended to, and still retain, such extraordinary fame. The Homeric text will afford us means of investigation, more or less, for the greater part of these names, but the main thread of the inquiry runs with these five; Pelasgians, Hellenes, Danaans, Argeians, Achæans. In conjunction with the present subject, I shall consider what light is thrown by Homer on the relations of the Greeks with other races not properly Greek: the Lycians, the Phœnicians, the Sicels, the Egyptians, the people of Cyprus, and finally the Persians. The name of the Leleges will be considered in conjunction with that of the Caucones. FOOTNOTES: [122] Cic. de Nat. Deor. i. 4. [123] Grote’s Hist. vol. ii. pp. 349-51, part ii. ch. 2.
