Sinossi
Excerpt from The Adventures of Telemachus, the Son of Ulysses: From the French
As the author of Telemachus has avoided the intrigues of modern romances, so hu he not fallen into the marvellous with which the ancients have been reproached; he never makes horses speak, nor tripods walk, nor statues work. His hero is continually conducted by Minerva, which makes every. Thing possible, and at the same time intimates, that man can do nothing without the assistance of divine wisdom. Nor is this all i the sublime consists in the concealing (unknown to Telema. Chus) the goddess under a human form, which renders it more probable and natural, and at the same time equally marvellous.
