   An erroneous opinion prevailed, both in those days and in
   after ages, that some men had the power, by the help of their
   gods, to devote, not only particular persons, but cities and
   whole armies, to destruction.  This they are said to have done
   sometimes by words of imprecation; of which there was a set
   form among some people, which (9273)chines calls [diorizomenen
   aran ,] "the determinate curse."  Macrobius has a whole
   chapter on this subject.  He gives us two of the ancient forms
   used in reference to the destruction of Carthage; the first,
   which was only pronounced by the dictator, or general, was to
   call over the protecting deities to their side, and the other
   to devote the city to destruction, which they were supposed to
   have abandoned.  The Romans held, that no city would be taken
   till its tutelary god had forsaken it; or if it could be
   taken, it would be unlawful, as it would be sacrilege to lead
   the gods into captivity.  Virgil intimates, that Troy was
   destroyed because {Excessere omnes adytis, arisque relictis
   dii, quibus imperium hoc steterat,} "All the gods, by whose
   assistance the empire had hitherto been preserved, forsook
   their altars and temples."  See more on this subject in Dr. A.
   Clarke, Bp. Patrick, and Burder's Oriental Customs, No. 734.
