[21] Compare this with what Rohde says (42) about the Homeric heroes and their complete absorption in warlike doings.

[24] In Burton the translator has changed the sex of the beloved.  This proceeding, a very common one, has done much to confuse the public regarding the modernity of Greek love.  It is not Greek love of women, but romantic friendship for boys, that resembles modern love for women.

[28] That moral infirmities, too, were capable of winning the respect of savages, may be seen in Carver’s Travels in North America (245).

[32] How capable of honoring women the Babylonians were may be inferred from the testimony of Herodotus (I., ch. 199) that every woman had to sacrifice her chastity to strangers in the temple of Mylitta.

[33] It gives me great pleasure to correct my error in this place.  Not a few critics of my first book censured me for underrating Roman advances in the refinements of love.  As a matter of fact I overrated them.

[34] Life Among the Modocs (228).  It must be borne in mind that Joaquin Miller here describes his own ideas of chivalry.  He did not, as a matter of course, find anything resembling them among the Modocs.  If he had, he would have said so, for he was their friend, and married the girl referred to.  But while the Indians themselves never entertain any chivalrous regard for women, they are acute enough to see that the whites do, and to profit thereby.  One morning when I was writing some pages of this book under a tree at Lake Tahoe, California, an Indian came to me and told me a pitiful tale about his “sick squaw” in one of the neighboring camps.  I gave him fifty cents “for the squaw,” but ascertained later that after leaving me he had gone straight to the bar-room at the end of the pier and filled himself up with whiskey, though he had specially and repeatedly assured me he was “damned good Indian,” and never drank.
