Scope and content

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Read Robert's [play] "Meleager" yesterday admired, enjoyed, and learned from it as he did not know the story; it recalled the 'strange thrill' with which he first read a line in Homer ["Iliad" 2.642], which he gives slightly misquoted. Then read the story in Smith's ["Dictionary of Greek and Roman] Antiquities" and in 'old Lemprière' [John Lemprière's "Classical Dictionary"]; Robert 'turned it powerfully, artfully, and unexpectedly'.
