ὁμολογεῖ δὲ ταῦτα καὶ Ὅμηρος· οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐδύνατο πάντα τἀληθῆ ἀποκρύψασθαι· ἐν οἷς φησι τὸν Ἀγαμέμνονα ἐκκλησίαν συναγαγεῖν τῶν Ἑλλήνων, ὡς ἀπάξοντα τὸ στράτευμα, δῆλον ὅτι τοῦ πλήθους χαλεπῶς φέροντος καὶ ἀπιέναι βουλομένου, καὶ τὸν ὄχλον ὁρμῆσαι πρὸς τὰς ναῦς· τὸν δὲ Νέστορα καὶ τὸν Ὀδυσσέα κατασχεῖν μόλις μαντείαν τινὰ προβαλλομένους καὶ ὀλίγον εἶναι χρόνον φάσκοντας, ὃν ἐδέοντο αὐτῶν ὑπομεῖναι.
