Homer and His Critics
Here is presented a succinct and insightful account of the reception of the Iliad and Odyssey from antiquity to the mid-twentieth century. The overall result is less a systematic history than a series of independent studies differing in scale and focus, the chapter on Gladstone being the most comprehensive and detailed. First published in 1958. The author gives greatest attention to those who made active use of Homer rather than passive, even if …

The Tomb of Porsena at Clusium
The Elder Pliny quotes Varro's description of the Tomb of Porsena: Sepultus sub urbe Clusio, in quo loco monumentum reliquit lapide quadrato quadratum: singula latera pedum lata tricenum, alta quinquagenum: in qua basi quadrata intus labyrinihum inextricabilem: quo si quis improperet ( introire properet v.) sine glomere lini, exitum invenire nequeat. Supra id quadratum pyramides stant quinque, quattuor in angulis, et in medio una, imae latae pedu…

Homeric Art
The phrase ‘Homeric Art’ is ambiguous. It may mean either the poet's description of works of art familiar to himself and his audience, or transmitted to them as the furniture of the legends; or the poet's own style of presentation, in relation to other modes of craftsmanship in his time. There is also the reproduction, by painting or otherwise, of episodes from the poems, and as these may be contemporary as well as later, the study of them merges…
Minoan Dress
An Eight-Sided Minoan Sealstone in the Ashmolean Museum
The eight-sided prism of sardonyx, of which the eight faces are represented in Fig. 1, was acquired by Sir Arthur Evans in Eastern Crete, and is certainly of Cretan workmanship and Middle Minoan style. All the signs are recorded already in Scripta Minoa I (Oxford, 1909) and are numbered there as follows

Lápithos (Lampousa: (Acheiropoiétos): Acropolis devastated by Quarrying
The North Range of Cyprus is a long, narrow, rugged ridge of hard steeply-inclined limestones, flanked southwards by coarse grits and sandstones, also steeply-inclined. On both sides of the range the lower slopes consist of later and softer limestones and marls, which overlie the rocks of the range unconformably, and have not been much disturbed since they were formed. The contrast is very marked between (1) the rugged peaks and spurs of the moun…

Excavations at Palaikastro. II: 13.—The Sanctuary-site of Petsofà
The plain and bay of Palaikastro are bounded on the south by an abrupt ridge of hills, which run out seaward into a prominent cape. Landwards, this ridge is cut off from the mass which culminates in Mt. Simódhi by a northward and a southward valley, which carry an almost impassable track from the Palaikastro plain to the cove of Karoúmes. The highest peak of this ridge, which bears the name of Petsofà, stands directly south of Roussolakkos, and r…

A Bronze Age Cemetery at Lápithos
As the excavation at Lampousa was coming to its close, news came that tombs of the Bronze Age had been found about a mile further west, in a field bounded by the coast; and leave was at once obtained to examine the site. During most of this excavation, Mr. Leonard Buxton was in charge, and this summary of results is collected from his tomb-plans and field notes, as war-service and other duties thereafter prevented him from preparing a formal repo…

It was seen in private possession at Khoms in 1896 by Mr. H. Swainson Cowper, has since been acquired by him, and is now in his house, Yew Field Castle, Outgate, Am…
