The Iliad

Note 158 — BOOK THE THIRD

Theodore Alois Buckley translation · Edition 4

Footnote 158: (return) Not “a head less” in height; for line 169 would then mean that Agamemnon was a head less than others, and consequently Ulysses would be two heads under the ordinary size. Anthon has adopted this common mistake, although Wolf had pointed it out.
