The 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

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. 1858 edition. Excerpt: ...he aims at a lofty, elegant, and elaborate (eyxareaxzvov) phraseolog.' In comparing these two masters of Greek eloquence, Dionysius has given us a very felicitous analogy. ' It seems to me, ' he says,2 ' that we should not err if we compared the diction of Plato to a meadow gay with flowers, and furnished with pleasant arbours and transient gratifications; 'whereas, the language of Demosthenes might be likened to a fruitful field, rich in produce, and wanting neither the necessaries of life nor the superfluities of enjoyment.' Although these remarks of Dionysius will be endorsed by most of the critical readers of Plato in our days, it will be felt that in some respects he has not done full justice to the literary merits of the great philosopher. In Plato the powers of the imagination were just as conspicuous as those of reasoning and reflexion; he had all the chief characteristics of a poet, especially of a dramatic poet; and if his rank as a philosopher had been lower than it is, he would still have stood unrivalled, except by Shakspere, in the power of exhibiting dramatically, and in the form of dialogue, a consistent development of character, and so giving to his interlocutors all that is required in a lifelike representation of the personages whose opinions he wishes to combat or defend. The slightest touch sometimes lends a finish to the picture, as when the equestrian Antipho is found in the act of ordering a bit,3 or the bare-footed Socrates either in his ordinary' or his exceptional attire.5 The more elaborate V and fanciful pictures which he introduces are not less remarkable for their descriptive power, than the dramatic incidents are for their vivid reality. Nothing can be..

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.

Excerpt from History of the Literature of Ancient Greece: To the Period of Isocrates When K. O. Müller died in 1840, the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, for which I was translating the History of Greek Literature from the authors manuscript, commissioned me to complete the work, and a few pages of my continuation had been published, when the Society came to an end. From that time until rather less than three years ago, I heard no more of the book; but the present publishers, having become possessed of the copyright, have requested me to complete my original undertaking, and the following pages are the result. In thus accepting a task, perhaps the most laborious, in proportion to its extent, that I could have undertaken, I have been induced by two motives: first, a wish to fulfil an obligation to the public, and to perform a promised duty to the memory of a distinguished scholar; secondly, a conviction that this book, if completed with tolerable success, would furnish an aid to the classical student which has not been and is not likely to be superseded. With regard to the first of these motives, I am quite aware that there are many who feel a respect for the memory of K. O. Muller, and who wish that his last and not least important work should be completed according to his plan, and that among these there are some who are at least as competent as I can pretend to be to write a history of Greek literature. But, on the other hand, I have every reason to believe that the public announcement of the fact, that one of the translators had been appointed to continue the work by the Society, for which Muller himself was writing it, must have deterred his friends in Germany and England from attempting to perform the same good office.
