Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charicles or Illustrations of the Private Life of the Ancient Greeks We possess In these works compendious portraitures, tableaux vivants as it were, representing private life at Rome and Athens; and by looking on this picture and then on that, much knowledge may be derived alike in structive and suggestive. In the former we behold the favourite of Augustus, stern in his sense of honour; ma jestic and dignified even in his pleasures; fond of art, though his devotion for it, true to the imitative nature of his countrymen, is rather of a formal and acquired than inborn and imaginative cast. He is the type of his nation, who loved to adorn their palaces and villas with works of Greek art, as with so many pieces of elegant furniture; thus verifying the proverb, that the wolf's-milk which suckled their progenitors never became a real fountain of the muses. They were the great borrowers Of their day, adapting themselves to foreign habits and institutions with marvellous facility, doing Violence to nature, and trampling over obstacles physical and moral. How perfectly ah tipodes to them in all the phases of their character were the children of Daedal Greece!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charicles or Illustrations of the Private Life of the Ancient Greeks The motto from Plutarch prefixed to Charicles, while it intimates the scope and object of the author, is an eloquent though brief argument for the utility of such a work. This description of the every-day pursuits and lighter occupations of the Greeks, this glimpse at their domestic scenes, and introduction, so to speak, to the interior of their dwellings, not only infuse additional zest into the student's survey of their life as a nation; but will also prove no mean auxiliary in estimating the motives and springs of their public actions as chronicled by the historian; pretty much on the same principle that we are prone to contemplate the doings of public men with more curious interest, should we happen also to enjoy their private personal acquaintance. The words of Böttiger respecting Rome admit of application here: 'We gain a correcter and deeper insight into the private life, a look, as it were, behind the postscenia of a people, whose public virtues and vices we are too apt to pronounce judgment on with reference solely to the universal history of the world and of nations.' The learned author here quoted, who for fifty years so successfully prosecuted his antiquarian and archæological researches, may be pronounced the originator of this species of antique domestic literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest benefits of studying the ancient Greek and Roman past is the ability to utilise different forms of evidence, in particular both written and archaeological sources. The contributors to this volume employ this evidence to examine ancient housing, and what might be learned of identities, families, and societies, but they also use it as a methodological locus from which to interrogate the complex relationship between different types of sources. Chapters range from the recreation of the house as it was conceived in Homeric poetry, to the decipherment of a painted Greek lekythos to build up a picture of household activities, to the conjuring of the sensorial experience of a house in Pompeii. Together, they present a rich tapestry which demonstrates what can be gained for our understanding of ancient housing from examining the interplay between the words of ancient texts and the walls of archaeological evidence.

In the present volume only a few examples are mentioned as characteristic of the various periods. It may thus, I trust, serve as an introduction to a more complete study of the subject; and may, at the same time, offer to those who have not the leisure or inclination for such further study, at least a summary of what we may learn from Greece as to the relations of religion and art under the most favourable conditions. It is easy, as Aris totle says, to fill in the details if only the outlines are rightly drawn - 665m ('iv ram-6 Gil/at wpoayayefv Kai diapee'ia'at 7d kanbg.
