Note 129 — Chapter I · HOMER—THE POSITION OF FISHERMEN
Reading edition
Professor T. D. Seymour, Life in the Homeric Age (London, 1907), p. 284, who might have added that Homer knows no general word either for trade; to traders, πρηκτῆρες (Od., VIII. 162) come nearest probably. From Seymour’s work, which sheds much valuable light on Homeric pursuits, I quote and borrow frequently.
