There are two versions of the story, which are given with all the authorities in Wagner’s edition of ‘Alciphron,’ vol. i. p. 178. [6] Stob. 73, 61.

The genuineness of the fragment of Susarion is justly doubted; but the sentiment is no doubt correctly ascribed to him. [8] Stob. 68, 8. [9] Stob. 68, 3. [10] Discussions on the Homeric women are very numerous. I give a list of the most notable works in the bibliography. Special praise is due to Lenz’s ‘Geschichte der Weiber im Heroischen Zeitalter’: Hannover, 1790. The fullest and ablest account in English is in Mr. Gladstone’s ‘Homeric Studies,’ vol. ii. [11] And according to the ideas of later Greeks, see especially Isocrates’s Encomium on Helen. [12] The later Greeks attributed to Cecrops, or some other Attic hero, the introduction of monogamy. The state of women in Greece before the time of Homer is discussed in Bachofen’s ‘Mutterrecht,’ and in Mr. McLennan’s ‘Kinship in Ancient Greece.’ [13] Il. ix. 336. [14] Il. xix. 297.
