[643] 643 = 9.658, 644-47 = Od. 4.297-300, Od. 7.336-39 (and 673-76 are extremely similar to the following passages in Od. 4.302-5, Od. 7.344-47. Compare also Od. 23.289-99; Od. 22.497 = 24.647). The lines are evidently more in place as referring to the palaces of Menelaos and Alkinoos than to the hut of a campaigner; their use here is part of the general view taken of Achilles' abode, and does not in itself prove that the Od. may not have borrowed them hence. The converse, however, seems more likely.
