Mr. Gilbert Murray, formerly professor of Greek at the University of Glasgow, delivered the third of series of lectures on "Greek Traditional Poetry" last night. His subject was that previously announced for the second lecture, "Chaos and the element of Regeneration, Aides and Nemesis."
In speaking of the conditions of Aegean institutions before their destruction under the stress of the migration, Mr. Murray said that the ox was formerly considered almost as a part of the family, so important was he in tribal affairs.
Before the migrations, the Greeks had always buried their dead; but after them, the dead were cremated or hidden in secret places to avoid danger of their being exhumed by foreigners.
"Aidos" and "Nemesis" are terms which occur frequently in Greek literature. The former is used in regard to one's own feelings about one's act. "Nemesis" means righteous indignation, and is used in regard to the act of another.
