Not illustrated. 1806 edition. Excerpt: ... SELECT NOTES TO BOOK XXII. We are now come to the great event or catastrophe of the Odyssey; which is the destruction of the suitors. The manner by which the poet conducts it, has been praised and censured: by Rome, as noble and heroic; by others, as romantic and incredible. It is therefore highly necessary to vindicate Homer, in the chief action of the whole poem: that he may not be found culpable, in the place where he ought to be the most exact, and draw h s hero to the best advantage. The objection made against this decisive action is, that the poet makes Ulysses perform impo.isibili'ies; no one person, with such small assistance, being able to destroy above an hundred enemies. It is no answer to say that Pallas descends to aid Ulysses j for it has been already proved, that all incidents which require a divine probability, should be so disengag d from the action, that they may be subtracted from it, without destroying it; whereas this action is essential to it. No less a critic than Longinus, chap. vii. condemns Hom.r; for, enumerating the faults of the Odyssey, he thus proceeds: ' To these may be added the absurdities he commits, in the account of the destruction of Penelope's suitors' And Scaliger, lib. v. of his Poetics, is of the same opinion: Ulysses interfecit arcu process; inter qu et Ipsum tantillum esset intervalli. Quare omnes simul in eum impetum non fecerunt?' The strength of this objection lies in the omission of the suitors in not rushing at once upon Ulysses in an united body. Now this was impossible: he stood upon the threshold in a narrow pass; and by this advantage he was able to make it good against a great inequality of numbers. It is not difficult to br ng instances of a like nature from tindoubted...

Originating from a study of the people's attitude in the first thirty years of the nineteenth century toward the classics, English Translations from the Greek by Finley Melville Kendall Foster lists the significant translations published during those years. In order to have the necessary material for a close study of the original list, extensive research was conducted for around fifty years. The result of these discoveries is embodied in the list of translations that make up this book's contents. Foster hopes to educate people about and make them familiar with the various kinds of Greek literature that have been popular at different times during the last four hundred and thirty years. He has in no way attempted to discuss the standards or the benchmarks of a good translation, the reason being that the making of an English version of a Greek original presents difficulties little distinct from those of translation from any other language into English.
