Excerpt from The Classical Review, Vol. 26 The immortal horses With their Wings, like those of Pelops also given by Poseidon, and the miraculous power of speech, are enchanted too. Homer, it is true, does not give them wings, and only makes Xanthus speak once, but this is in accordance with his principle (of which I will speak below) of sup pressing enchantments as far as possible. It is probable that in the legend they both commonly talked. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
