Note 225-4 — Chapter II
John J. (John Joseph) Lalor translation
In Homer, the kings live on nothing but meat, bread and wine: compare Athen., I, 8. In the saga-poetry of Iceland, H. Leo does not remember to have heard any other food mentioned except oat-pap, milk, butter and cheese, fish, the flesh of domestic animals, and beer. (Raumer's Taschenbuch, 1835, 491)
