Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Twelve Books of Epigrams AT the time of his lamented death in 1920, John Arthur Pott was engaged on a complete translation, in verse and prose, of the Epigrams of Martial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epigrams Aphorisms In its earliest form, indeed, it was but a mere writing upon a wall, but the modern epigram is distinguished by its particular brilliancy. It em bodies the very quintessence of the thoughts of the writer. The early Greek epigram did not aim at wit, or necessarily produce the feeling of surprise, which are essential characteristics of the modern one. The writer to-day who follows the Greek epigrammatist succeeds only in being dull. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Epigrams of Martial It is a singular fact that Martial is the only Latin poet of mark who has not hitherto been completely translated into the English language. If not so interesting as Poets of the Augustan Age for his latinity, he is more so for his pictures of the manners and customs of Rome at that very interesting period, the commencement of the Christian era. It must be premised that his constant and severe castigation of the two great vices which prevailed in his time, and the unflinching boldness with which he proclaims them, has given him the reputation of an obscene poet; but his lashings were well directed, and, no doubt, had a beneficial effect.

Download or read book Select Epigrams of Martial written by R. T. Bridge and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Epigrams of Martial: Spectaculorum Liber and Books I-Vi This edition of selected epigrams from the first six books of Martial is intended for the use of upper forms in schools. There are two reasons why Martial should be read in these forms. In the first place, his epigrams belong to a distinct species of literature, characteristically Roman both in form and matter. Secondly, Martial throws a valuable and instructive light on the social life of Rome in the first century of our era. If these are the two reasons why boys still at school should read Martial, yet it is probably true that they should read him rapidly and without the rigid attention to detail which is necessary in studying the best classical writers. It has been our aim, therefore, to keep our notes concise, and not to fill the place of the dictionary and the atlas, but, as far as possible, to make clear the thought and point of each epigram. With this end in view a short abstract of the meaning is prefixed to the notes on each poem, but few attempts have been made to supply ready-made translation. In the Introduction has been added a connected account of certain features of Roman life which are constantly referred to in the epigrams; this seemed better than writing short and scattered notes on the passages concerned. We have also given a biographical index of some of the proper names occurring in the text, and we hope that our general index may be of use in finding references in the poet to the many features of Roman life on which he touches.

Download or read book Select Epigrams from the Greek Anthology Classic Reprint written by J. W. Mackail and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Epigrams From the Greek Anthology About four thousand of them have been preserved in two collections made at Constantinople in the tenth and the fourteenth century, and the remainder have been brought together from literary and inscriptional sources by more scholars. The earliest of the date from 700 B.C., and they extend from that time almost continuously down to 1000 A.D. Throughout all that period they present little or no change in language or versification. A form of poetry which remained alive for seventeen centuries is unique in literary history, and bears striking testimony to the extraordinary vitality of the Greek genius. That vitality is not yet exhausted; it is still an influence over modern life, art, and thought. This selection of Greek minor poetry draws for us a picture of Greece in little; it is an epitome, slightly sketched with a facile hand, of the book of Greek life. A translation, notwithstanding its limitations and its necessary inadequacy, may give to English readers much of the substance, and something even of the tone and flavour, of the original.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of Greek Epigrams: Done Into English Verse The Greek epigram as it appears in Mr. Mackail's pages, and in a lesser degree in what follows, throws a ood of light upon Greek life and thought, through many centuries. In its intimacy and directness it is like the snap-shots of our amateur photographers it leads one into sympathy with the early archwologist wandering near the sites of dead cities, with the sailors tossing on the rough nean, and honouring the tombs of their lost comrades with the cares and the sorrows of the old fisher-folk, with the simple joy of the Greek in the groves, the mountain meadows and the fountain; with the fun which they could make of their gods, and with their ques tions on the deeper issues of life.
