Charles R. Beye here offers a lively and challenging overview of Greek literature from Homer to Apollonius of Rhodes, providing a coherent social and historical background to the era. Beye stresses the great distance that separates the twentieth century from the age and audience for which ancient Greek literature was intended. He emphasizes those aspects of antiquity which are apt to be most alien to modern-day readers, particularly the oral nature of early poetry and the public and political—and hence manipulative, conformist, and conventional—quality of much of the literature. He also notes the openly imitative practices of early authors and establishes the Homeric epics as the dominant informing feature of subsequent literature.

Excerpt from A History of Ancient Greek Literature To read and re-read the scanty remains now left to us of the Literature of Ancient Greece, is a pleasant and not a laborious task; nor is that task greatly increased by the inclusion of the 'Scholia' or ancient commentaries. But modern scholarship has been prolific in the making of books; and as regards this department of my subject, I must frankly accept the verdict passed by a German critic upon a historian of vastly wider erudition than mine, and confess that I 'stand helpless before the mass of my material.' To be more precise, I believe that in the domain of Epic, Lyric, and Tragic Poetry, I am fairly familiar with the researches of recent years; and I have endeavoured to read the more celebrated books on Prose and Comic control; but I hope that comparatively few articles of importance in the last twenty volumes of the Hermes, the Rheinisches Museum, the Philologus, and the English Classical Journals, have escaped my consideration. More than this I have but rarely attempted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A History of Ancient Greek Literature is an exceptional and comprehensive textbook of Europe's oldest civilization. The book covers the ancient Greek literature from the earliest texts until the time of the Byzantine Empire. It begins with the earliest surviving works of ancient Greek literature, the two epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey, set in an idealized archaic past today identified as having some relation to the Mycenaean era. Homer's epics as well as the Homeric Hymns and the two poems of Hesiod, Theogony and Works and Days, comprised the major foundations of the Greek literary tradition that would continue into the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. All above mentioned periods are presented in this book with a special emphasise on every particularly literary genre of ancient Greek literature - epic poetry, lyric poetry, drama, historiography and philosophy. Contents Homer Lesser Homeric Poems; Hesiod; Orpheus The Descendants of Homer, Hesiod, and Orpheus The Song The Beginnings of Prose Herodotus Philosophic and Political Literature to the Death of Socrates Thucydides The Drama Aeschylus Sophocles Euripides Comedy Plato Xenophon The 'Orators' Demosthenes and His Contemporaries The Later Literature, Alexandrian and Roman

The Primer Of Greek Literature, Originally Published In 1877, Is, Till Date, The Finest Introduction To The Literary World Of The Greeks. The Book Is Divided Into Three Parts: The Early Literature, The Attic Literature And The Literature Of The Decadence. Written By No Less A Scholar Than Sir Richard Claverhouse Jebb, O.M., The Greatest Greek Scholar Of His Time, The Book Offers, In A Very Lucid Style And Precise Manner, An Authentic Sketch Of Greek Literature. In The Words Of Sir Jebb The Book Is Written In Such A Way That It Should Be Useful, Not Only To Students Of Greek, But Also To Those Who Do Not Know Greek, And Who Will Never Read A Greek Book Except In A Translation. And So The Sketch Is Intended To Serve As A Framework Into Which Those Who Read Any Of The Greek Books, Whether In Original Or In English, May Fit What They Read. It Is A Highly Rewarding And Sustaining Experience To Enter The World Of Greek Literature With No Less A Guide Than Sir R.C. Jebb Who May Be Said To Hold The Greek Literature In The Palm Of His Hand. Students Of Ancient European Classics Will Find This Book Extremely Useful As An Introduction To The World Of Greek Literature, And Even The General Readers Who Are Interested In Greek Civilization And Culture Will Find This Book Quite Interesting.
