by thefe fliips of Ulysses, and confequently behind the fore- 

 moft row, was the place for holding the public alTemblies, and 

 for the altars for the facrifices. (Iliad, XI. 806-7.). One of thefe, 

 it fliould feem, was the altar of Jupiter Panomphseus *. 



The order of the Chips in the catalogue, (Iliad, II.), appears 

 to have fome connedlion with this arrangement in the camp, fo 

 that the Boeotians, and thofe after them, as far on as the Sala- 

 minians, under Ajax, belonged to the left wing. The Ai'gives, 

 and thofe next in order, as far as thd Cretans, Rhodians, and 

 other Iflanders, compofed the centre. The Theflalians, with the 

 Myrmidons, formed the right wing. 



The fucceffion and order of the troops, when afterwards 

 drawn up in the field of battle, is fomewhat different. Aga- 

 memnon runs through the midft of the battle ; and after pafT- 

 ing fome, who are not named, he comes to Idomeneus with 

 the Cretans, to Ajax and the Salaminians, to Nestor with his 

 iPylians-, to the Athenians under Menestheus, to Ulysses, and 

 laftly to Diomede ■\. 



Agamemnon, it appears, went from the left to the right 

 wing. Ulysses was at fuch a diftance from the fpot where the 

 Trojans were preffing on to the aflault, that he as yiet knew no- 

 thing of their approach. (IV. 331.). In the battle itfelf all or-
