A lively combination of scholarship and unorthodoxy makes these studies in ancient history and literature unusually rewarding. Few of the objects of conventional admiration gain much support from Peter Green (Pericles and the "democracy" of fifth-century Athens are treated to a very cool scrutiny) but he has a warm regard for the real virtues of antiquity and for those who spoke with "an individual voice." The studies cover both history and literature, Greece and Rome. They range from the real nature of Athenian society to poets as diverse as Sappho and Juvenal, and all of them, without laboring any parallels, make the ancient world immediately relevant to our own. (There is, for example, a very perceptive essay on how classical history often becomes a vehicle for the historian's own political beliefs and fantasies of power.) The student of classical history will find plenty in this book to enrich his own studies. The general reader will enjoy the vision of a classical world which differs radically from what he probably expects.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... oidipous tyrannos. That the oldest and most influential university in New England should have brought out, with distinguished success, in her own theatre, an ancient Greek tragedy in the original language, with all the proper equipments of stage, scenery, costume and music, is, in several ways, a most noteworthy event. Educationally considered, it means that the study of ancient Greek, so long a dry, barren encumbrance of the ground, has at last borne fruit, fit to enter as sustenance into the intellectual, moral, and artistic life of the more favoured members of the community. From a literary point of view, it means the revival of an intelligent interest in the robust, earnest, soulstrengthening works of the grand old masters, as opposed to the feeble, pampering, alcoholic love-lore, on which so many mere rhymers and story-tellers nowadays base their lofty titles of poets and men of letters. Lastly, it means that the old supercilious spirit, which regarded paganism as a mere cloud of error, dispelled by the pure light of Christian truth, is giving way to a kindly appreciation of the human as human, of the good and the true, wherever they are found. If such exhibitions are frequently repeated at Cambridge and initiated at other great seats of learning and education, we may hope that in a short time there will issue from our universities a succession of scholarly, philosophical artists, capable of finding for the glad, generous, but only half-grasped ideas, which shape American life, forms as original, perfect, and eternal as those in which Sophokles and his brethren cast the gloomy beliefs that ran through Hellenic life. When that time comes, we shall have a literature as much nobler than that of the Greeks as free love of the good, as...
