Note 668 — Chapter XI · THE STATE (B) STATE AND HISTORY
Charles Francis Atkinson translation
G. Busolt, Griech. Staatskunde (1920), pp. 319, et seq. U. von Wilamowitz (Staat und Gesellschaft der Griechen, 1910, p. 53), in disputing the existence of the patriarchal kingdom, misunderstands the immense difference between the conditions of the eighth century, indicated in the Odyssey, and those of the tenth.
