Note 151 — THE THEOGONY.
George Chapman translation
Soothing eloquence.] This passage is exactly similar to one in the Odyssey, b. viii.:
Jove Crowns him with eloquence: his hearers charm’d Behold him, while with unassuming tone He bears the prize of fluent speech from all; And when he walks the city, as they pass, All turn and gaze, as they had pass’d a god. Cowper.
