Excerpt from A History of Classical Greek Literature, Vol. 1 of 2: Part 1. The Poets I. It has been the usual practice with historians of Greek Literature to begin with a survey of the character and genius of the race, the peculiar features of the language, and the action which physical circumstances have produced upon the development of all these things. In the case of many German books these discussions are so long and so vague that the student is wearied before he arrives at a single fact in literature. It is furthermore necessary for the proper understanding of generalities that the reader should be intimate with the details which are postponed to a later part of the book. This appears to me so unpractical a method that I have abandoned it, and will not attempt any broad survey of the subject in a work devoted to the discussion Of details, except in immediate connection with these details. In the present day, when so much is taught, and talked, and read about Greek history and art and poetry, the readers of such a book as this cannot but have enough acquaintance with the sub ject to permit them to dispense with any general introduction.

Excerpt from A History of Classical Greek Literature, Vol. 1 of 2 We have now reviewed a long series of Epic and Lyric poems, all of which originated in Asia Minor, and from there passed into Greece and westward. The development of the Æolic and Ionic colonies - if colonies they am be called - had been more rapid than that of the motherland. But the Ionic literature had also taken quick root and flourished in the old country. It was probably to Solon or to Peisis¬halos that we owe the ordering and systematising of the epos. The elegy found its Hellenic representatives in Solon, in Theognis and Tyrtæus; the choral poetry of Terpanderand of Anion made its home not only in Peloponnesus, but with Stesichorus in Sicily, where the rarity of Homeric recitations left it open to the poet to bring the old myths into his chore' songs, and give the people what the rhapsodists had elsewhere supplied. It was, in fact, the Ægean songs of Lesbos only that bloomed and faded on their own soil, without witftinc their seed across the Ægean to take root and flourish in older Greece.

Excerpt from A History of Classical Greek Literature, Vol. 1 of 2: The Poets; With an Appendix on Homer But throughout the various shorter episodes of which the Iliad may be composed, there is such a harmony in the drawing of' the various heroes who appear on the scene, that (p) even if one great master did not sketch them all, they must have been recognised types, which had long since assumed a definite and fixed shape for a school or series of poets, each of whom was able to express this type with adequate consistency. Either theory implies long and gradual preparation, many lesser attempts which have failed, and many faulty pictures which have disappeared, because they departed from the once fixed and re cognised features of known Characters.

Excerpt from A History of Classical Greek Literature, Vol. 1 of 2 It is remarkable that the Old dithyrambs were spoken of as introductions to the more solemn cyclic choirs, whereas their dramatic outcome was always played after the tragedies. The critics are ready with msthetical reasons for this, but we are left at a loss for historical facts. Though a flavour of humour was not foreign to the tragedy of Euripides, nor even to that of ieschylus, there seems no doubt that the early Greek drama did not afford scope for the violent contrasts so striking in Shakespeare, and preferred to relegate the low and the grotesque into a separate play associated with solemn tragedy. The extant Cyclops is a sort of farce without much extrava gance, Observing in its hero the decorum suited to a tragic writer, and giving to Silenus and to his attendant satyrs an evidently conventional characterrof laziness, drunkenness and license. The real contest was in that day among the tragedies, and this afterpiece was probably given while the public was discussing the previous plays. In later days the satyric drama seems to have been abandoned, and therefore all the other extant specimens were lost. It is a misfortune that we do not possess at least one from the hands of an acknowledged master in this department, or from the epoch when it had real importance. But the Cyclops explains to us the structure and style of these pieces. These few words may suffice to dispose of this byway of the Greek drama. I now return to the more important history of serious tragedy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
