Note 130 — Chapter II · THE PELASGIAN SYSTEM

We should perhaps also add the ‘reminiscence’ in Il. ix. 63, where the lover of domestic strife is said to be a lawless wretch without home or phratry. It is possible but not necessary to suppose that the wretch in question was outlawed because of homicidal tendencies which continued to manifest themselves afterwards. See Leaf, H. and H. p. 251. For a possible reference in the phrase ἀτίμηντος μετανάστης (Il. ix. 648), see Ridgeway, J.H.S. vol. vi.
