Note 168 — Chapter VIII
George Godfrey Berry translation
Primitive Greece has been studied in the Homeric poems. Mediæval private life has been reconstructed principally from the chansons de gestes. (See C. V. Langlois, Les Traditions sur l'histoire de la société française au moyen âge d'après les sources littéraires, in the Revue historique, March-April, 1897.)
