405. THUCYDides. Hist. ii. 37. His version of the great
Funeral Oration spoken by Pericles over the Athen-
ians who fell in the first year of the Peloponnesian
war: Chiefly from Hobbes' translation. The style of

Thucydides, when he passes from mere narration and
engages in reflection or argument or rhetoric, becomes
uncomfortably conscious of grammar and seems often in
great difficulties. This quality, due perhaps to his not
being a native Greek, is wholly bad; and yet he will
again and again win a powerful beauty from it; as
a man struggling desperately through a raging torrent may
show movements of more forceful grace than one who is
walking unimpeded. Such a manner is inimitable in
modern English without affectation: But it happens that
Hobbes in his old age translated Thucydides (helped
probably by a French version?) and his masterful
diction, encountering obstacles, dealt with them so as
to produce a not dissimilar effect. For that reason
I took his translation, and, where I altered it in order to
give a more faithful interpretation, I attempted to main-
tain his strenuous style. If the result has any merit it
is due to him; but I have made too many changes to be
able to leave his name to it.*

of divine protection, visits Achilles by night, bringing with
him a great ransom to redeem the body of Hector, which
Achilles was dishonouring in revenge for the death of
Patroclus. Hermes having escorted him safely to the
pavilion of Achilles leaves him to the courtesy of his
great enemy. Idaeus is Priam's old servant, who is
driving the mule-waggon that carries the ransom. This
is one of the finest passages in Homer. The translation
is line for line in the original metre.*
