Perhaps Heliodorus (afterwards a bishop) had derived the materials for his graphic description of their haunts and manners from personal residence among them, as was the case (so Horace Walpole informs us) with Archbishop Blackburne (_temp._ Geo. II,) who in his younger days is said to have been a buccaneer. In Herod. v. 16, is a curious account of a fishing-town built in the lake Prasias, exactly corresponding with the description of _The Pasturage_ in Heliodorus.] [Footnote 10: Ἔμπνουν ἄγαλμα. "And there she stood, so calm and pale That, but her breathing did not fail, And motion slight of eye and head, And of her bosom, warranted That neither sense nor pulse she lacks, You might have thought a form of wax, Wrought to the very life, was there; But still she was, so pale, so fair."--Marmion, c. xxi ] [Footnote 11: Βουλῆς δὲ τῆς ἅνω. The Council of the 500, who were a kind of Committee of the Ἐκκλησία to prepare measures for that assembly.] [Footnote 12: Cnemon and his stepmother will recall to the reader's memory Phædra and Hippolytus.] [Footnote 13: In the Ceramicus, without the city, was an engine, built in the form of a ship, upon which the πέπλος, or robe of Minerva, was hung, in the manner of a sail, and which was put in motion by concealed machinery. It was conveyed to the temple of Ceres Eleusinia, and from thence to the citadel, where it was put upon Minerva's statue, which was laid upon a bed strewed with flowers, and called πλακὶς.] [Footnote 14: The public hall at Athens, in which the Prytanes for the time being, and some other magistrates, had their meals, and entertained foreign ambassadors.] [Footnote 15: Literally, "I had him enrolled in his proper ward (φρατρία), in his proper house (γένος), and among those arrived at puberty (ἕφηβοι)," the successive steps to Athenian citizenship.] [Footnote 16: The Barathrum was a yawning cleft behind the Acropolis, into which criminals were cast.] [Footnote 17: Hesiod, "Works and Days," 221. "Justice.... When mortals violate her sacred laws, When judges hear the bribe and not the cause, Close by her parent god behold her stand, And urge the punishment their sins demand."--Lee. Ammianus Marcellinus says, B. xxix., "_Inconnivens_ justitiæ oculus; arbiter et vindex perpetuus rerum." Rarò antecedentem scelestum Descruit pede Pœna claudo.--Hor. Od. iii. II. 31. ] [Footnote 18: Ὄν θυμόν κατέδων. Il. vi. 202.] [Footnote 19: Δεύτερος ἔσται πλοῦς, we will go on a fresh tack.] [Footnote 20: Κακή κακῶς.] [Footnote 21: The succession to the Egyptian priesthood was hereditary.--Vide Herod., ii. 37.] [Footnote 22: θεωρίαν ἤγομεν. The Athenians made a solemn voyage to Delos every year; the deputation was called θεωρία; the persons employed in it, θεωροὶ; the ship, θεωρὶς. See Robinson's Antiquities of Greece.]
