us, seems right in explaining it of the shoulders (comp. 11. 644, where armos is used of a man, and see on 11. 640). Dido speaks first of Aeneas' personal appearance, afterwards, v. 13, of his prowess. So we have seen that Aeneas appears Os humerosque Deo similis 1. 589. Comp. also the appearance of Agamemnon Il. 2. 478, o)/mmata kai\ kefalh\n i)/kelos *dii\ terpikerau/nw|, *)/arei+ de\ zw/nhn, ste/rnon de\ *poseida/wni. The meaning then will be that Dido can well believe from Aeneas' mien and stature that his mother was a goddess. With forti thus used comp. forte latus Hor. 1 Ep. 7. 26. Since the above was written (1859), I have been pleased to observe a confirmation of this view in a passage in Mr. Tennyson's Idylls of the King, where Enid, looking at her husband as he lies asleep, breaks out into the exclamation O noble breast and allpuissant arms! a coincidence which will, I trust, show that similar language may be attributed to Dido without involving any imputation of coarseness.

Aditus and ostia seem rightly explained by Henry as a sort of Virgilian hendiadys, aditus per centum lata ostia. But it is not easy to understand what these entrances were. On the whole the consistency of the description seems to require that we should understand them to be the entrances of the adytum, opening into the temple (comp. 3. 92, where the adytum is opened similarly at the giving of the response): but a hundred doors communicating from one side of the temple to a cavern beyond form a picture which is not readily grasped. Meanwhile the general tenor of the narrative is well illustrated by a graphic description of a worshipper at Delphi approaching the adytum in the Oxford Arnold Prize Essay for 1859, by my friend Mr. Bowen of Balliol College. I quote it in an Appendix to this book, as it is too long for a note.
