Chapter 35:
The Wanderings of Ulysses.
The modern Ulysses traveled further than his classic namesake; and his Penelope accompanied him. They once came upon the course of the ancient hero, and sailing along the Italian and Sicilian shores the story of the Odyssey was told again.
Mrs. Grant liked to be shown where the son of Laertes had landed, where he escaped from Calypso, or avoided Scylla or Charybdis.
But the practical General was more curious about geography than mythology.
The coasts and channels he inspected closely, but cared nothing for the fables of Homeric origin.
Ancient history itself hardly interested him. I remember that in Rome, when I talked of the Forum and the Capitol, he replied that they seemed recent to him after Memphis and the Sphinx, which he had seen.
Remote antiquity impressed him; but the venerable associations that scholars prize had no charm for Grant.
There was little room in his nature for sentiment, though abundance of genuine feeling.
