A Vindication of Homer and of the Ancient Poets and Historians, Who Have Recorded the Siege and Fall of Troy (Classic Reprint) by J. Morritt Pdf

Excerpt from A Vindication of Homer and of the Ancient Poets and Historians, Who Have Recorded the Siege and Fall of Troy A llory fo analogous to that of Troy is given us in Mitfords Hifiory of Greece; that I can not help tranfcnbing it, its having happened 1s a proof at leall of the pofiibility of a confiderable force taking arms on fuch an occafion, and it is againli this poflibility, t that Mr. Bryant direets his firli arguments. Exploits like that of Paris, were in the twelfth century not uncommon in Ireland. Dermot, King of Leinlier, formed adefign ondervorghal, a celebrated beauty, wife of o'ruark, King of Leitrim, and by force or fraud fucceeded in carrying her off. O'ruark re fented the affront as might be expeeled. He procured a confederacy of the neighbouring chief. Tains, with the King of Connaught, the molt powerfitl Prince in Ireland at their head. Leinlier was invaded, the Prlncefs was recovered, and after holhlities continued with various fuccefs, dur ing many years, Dermot was expelled from his kingdom. The fugitive Dermot afterwards interelled Henry the Second in his quarrel, and the conqueli of Ireland by the Englilh, was the refalt of this private animofity. (see Mitford's Hifiory of Greece. Vol. 1. Chap. 1. Feet. How happened it that the King of Connaught and Henry the Second took fo much interell: in a quarrel for a woman, with whom none but the bulband was concerned? (bryant, page The lofs of a wife (whether Dervorghal or Helen) was a private misfortune in which ofruark or Menelaus only were interelied. We mull allow then that what really happened in Ireland, might happen in Greece. I take this Opportunity alfo to acknowledge, that, though previous to reading this pall'age in Mitford, I had written the greatell: part of this work, yet on opening his ingenious apology for Homer, which precedes the flory I have quoted, I was highly gratified to find fo many of my arguments anticipated, and done fuch ample jufiice to by that Gentleman, that I fcarce had brought forward any anfwer to this part of Mr. Bryant's work, which was not fauctioncd by his high authority.

Homer (Classic Reprint) by W. E. Gladstone Pdf

Excerpt from Homer I. Homer's Unique Position. - The poems of Homer do not constitute merely a great item of the splendid literature of Greece; but they have a separate position, to which none other can approach. They, and the manners they describe, constitute a world of their own; and are severed by a sea of time, whose breadth has not been certainly measured, from the firmly-set continent of recorded tradition and continuous fact. In this sea they lie, as a great island And in this island we find not merely details of events, but a scheme of human life and character, complete in all its parts. We are introduced to man in every relation of which he is capable; in every one of his arts, devices, institutions; in the entire circle of his experience. There is no other author, whose case is analogous to this, or of whom it can be said that the study of him is not a mere matter of literary criticism, but is a full study of life in every one of its departments. To rescue this circle of studies from inadequate conceptions, and to lay the ground for a true idea of them, I have proposed to term them Homerology. Of this Homerology, I shall now endeavour to present some of the first elements in their simplest form. And at the threshold, postponing for the moment our notice of the controversies involved in what is termed the Homeric question, let us see how far we can acquire an idea of the poet himself, and the conditions under which he lived.

The Iliad of Homer by Homer,Theodore Alois Buckley, Reverend Pdf

The Iliad (sometimes referred to as the Song of Ilion or Song of Ilium) is an ancient Greek epic poem in dactylic hexameter, traditionally attributed to Homer. Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. Although the story covers only a few weeks in the final year of the war, the Iliad mentions or alludes to many of the Greek legends about the siege; the earlier events, such as the gathering of warriors for the siege, the cause of the war, and related concerns tend to appear near the beginning. Then the epic narrative takes up events prophesied for the future, such as Achilles' imminent death and the fall of Troy, although the narrative ends before these events take place. However, as these events are prefigured and alluded to more and more vividly, when it reaches an end the poem has told a more or less complete tale of the Trojan War. The Iliad is paired with something of a sequel, the Odyssey, also attributed to Homer. Along with the Odyssey, the Iliad is among the oldest extant works of Western literature, and its written version is usually dated to around the 8th century BC.Recent statistical modelling based on language evolution gives a date of 760-710 BC. In the modern vulgate (the standard accepted version), the Iliad contains 15,693 lines; it is written in Homeric Greek, a literary amalgam of Ionic Greek and other dialects.

Homer by William Lucas Collins Pdf

Excerpt from Homer: The Odyssey The poem of the Odyssey is treated in these pages as the work of a single author, and that author the same as the composer of the Iliad. It would be manifestly out of place, in a volume which does not profess to be written for critical scholars, to discuss a question on which they are so far from being agreed. But it may be satisfactory to assure the reader Who has neither leisure nor inclination to enter into the controversy, that in accepting, as we do, the Odyssey as from the same Homer to whom we owe the Tale of Troy, he may fortify himself by the authority of many aecom plished scholars who have carefully examined the ques tion. Though none of the incidents related in the Iliad are distinctly referred to in the Odyssey - a point strongly urged by those who would assign the poems to different authors - and therefore the one cannot fairly be regarded as a sequel to the other, yet there is no important discrepancy, either in the facts previously assumed, or in the treatment Of such characters as appear upon the scene in both; A. 0.

The Iliad of Homer by Homer,Theodore Alois Buckley, Reverend Pdf

The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The Odyssey is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second-oldest extant work of Western literature; the Iliad is the oldest. Scholars believe the Odyssey was composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The poem mainly focuses on the Greek hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Roman myths), king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War. In his absence, it is assumed Odysseus has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, the Mnesteres or Proci, who compete for Penelope's hand in marriage.
