Philological Club.
At the meeting last Friday night, Mr. Sterling gave an account of a reprint of an old English translation of the second book of Herodotus, edited by Andrew Long. To this reprint the editor has prefixed two essays. "The Religion of Herodotus" and "The Good Faith of Herodotus." In the latter he makes a very spirited defense of Horodotus against the arguments of Prof. Sayre, by whom the good faith of Horodotus is impugned. He takes up Sayre's arguments in detail, and shows that while Herodotus was not a historian in the modern sense, he cannot be charged with bad faith. His history contains a wealth of stories and legends which a more careful historian would not have transmitted to us, and he is one of the most delightful narrators in the world. Mr. Sterling read a selection to show the style of the reprinted translation, and also Mr Lang's letter to Herodotus in his "Letters to Dead Authors"
The members of the Club then went into the Classical Museum, where in the presence of the cast
Prof. Wilcox spoke of the Venus of Melos and its proposed restorations. They may be grouped under three heads: those which restore her with another figure, Ares, to her left; those which place an apple in her upraised left hand; and those which make her hold a shield in her left or in both hands. Now the inscribed plinth found with the statue most likely belongs to it, while the hand bearing the apple does not. Hence the first method of restoration is excluded, and the second almost certainly also. Hence, too, if Venus held a shield, it must have been supported on a column by her left side. Her u .finished condition on that side argues that that side was hidden from view. Mr. Overbeck thinks she should be restored in this way, holding up the shield with her left hand, and her drapery with her right. Prof. Heydemann of Halle, has lately proposed a restoration with an apple in her left hand and a trophy to her left. But this combines two ideas which do not belong together. Hence Overbrook's restoration is probably correct.
Miss Hunnicutt spoke of a Greek parallel of Washington, Timoleon of Corinth. They were both Republican leaders, the one restoring an old state after misrule, the other setting up a new state. Timoleon was sent by the city of Corinth to hold Syracuse, the daughter city, rid herself of tyrants and foreign enemies. He succeeded wonderfully, making Syracuse and all Greek Sicily free and independent, and then became a simple citizen. Like Washington his greatness was of the quiet modest kind. Timoleon is more distinctly a deliverer than Washington, as the rule of the mother-country of America was not on a level with the tyrannies of Sicily. Washington is more distinctly a founder than Timoleon. The difference in the work of the two men arises from the difference in the relation of the two colonies to the mother-country. The bond between America and Great Britain was one of dependence, which Washington severed; between Syracuse and Corinth, one of attachment and reverence, which Timoleon tightened. Because the American colonies were not free from the beginning like Syracuse, the older England in Europe and the younger England in America could never be to each other what the older Hellas in Greece and the younger Hellas in Sicily were.
