<strong>THE</strong> HOMERIC <strong>AGE</strong>. 305<br />
That iron and bronze swords of the same form were in use<br />
at the same time is shown thus <strong>by</strong> the actual remains found ;<br />
and this harmonizes completely with the evidence of Homer,<br />
where we learn that Eur^'alus the Phaeacian presented to<br />
Odysseus a bronze sword, though, as we have seen, the usual<br />
material for all such is<br />
weapons<br />
iron. But the Phaeacians<br />
both belonged to the older race and lived in a remote island, and<br />
therefore swords of bronze may well have continued in use in<br />
such out-of-the-world places long after iron swords were in use<br />
elsewhere in Greece. The man who could not afford iron had<br />
to be satisfied with bronze.<br />
The Homeric swords are often described as studded with<br />
silver (^tc^o? apyvpoTjXov). The sword of Agamemnon had<br />
studs of gold, but it was of Cypriote workmanship, and therefore,<br />
fn^m what we have seen about Cyprus as a seat of M^xenean<br />
culture, we may regard this weapon as pijssessing the decorative<br />
characteristics of the Mycenean rather than of Achean art.<br />
With iron camt- the power of dealing a trenchant sstroke,<br />
and such a blow could be delivered more effectively with a<br />
long than with a short sword. It is therefore natural to find<br />
Odysseus armed with a "long hanger' (ravvrjKe'^ dopY. We<br />
