VI GREEK LITERARY CRITICISM 'LITERATURE, ' said Goethe, 'is the fragment of fragments. The smallest part of what has been done and spoken is recorded, and the smallest part of what has been recorded has survived.' May we not add, from the Greek point of view, --' the smallest part of what has survived is literature '? The modern world in judging prose is often undecided as to what is literature and what is not. We are all agreed that we cannot include in literature every form of written or printed matter. But where does literature begin or end? Must we exclude almost all science, much history, most fiction? On one or two points at least the Greeks never wavered. When the early glamour--the sense of mystery and almost of magic--attaching to the discovery of writing had passed away, writing was at first thought of chiefly as a mechanical aid to memory. It saved from oblivion the inspirations of the Muse. Outside poetry its early uses were of the practical kind: it was employed for registering treaties and contracts and for keeping accounts.1 So far, however, as it was designed to serve purely material ends, it formed part of the prosaic order of life and lacked the dignity of art. In order to enter into the domain of art, in order to become literature, 1 Euripides notes accurately the early use of writing for practical purposes--letters or messages, wills, contracts, etc.; see Fr.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...the voice Of loud thanksgiving over slaughtered men (x 412). One cannot help remembering in this connexion that the Iliad in the fifth century occupied a central place in Greek education. All well-born youths were trained upon it. And later Attic writers speak with enthusiasm of the moral superiority of Homer--and when they say ' Homer' they chiefly mean the Iliad--over the other ancient poets. If this educational use of the Iliad began in Ionia as early as the eighth century, which is likely enough, we can hardly help supposing that it had some share in these processes of purification with which we have been dealing. The hand of the schoolmaster certainly seems to have been at work--though of course by different methods--in the case of another poet much used in education, Theognis. Such parts of his poetry as are obviously unedifying are relegated to a sort of appendix at the end of the book, and in many MSS. are omitted altogether.1 But on the whole the probability is that the use of Homer in education was only to a slight extent an influence in producing this general cleaning up of the ancient traditions; it was more largely a result. 1 Edifying passages from the old Ionic hortatory writers seem to have been introduced into Homer. See Mulder, as cited below, Lecture VII, p. 169. Also Breal, Pour mieux eonnaitre Homire, pp. 14 f. Further consideration of this subject would lead us too far afield. I am content for the present moment if I have shown the mere fact that there was in the formation of the Iliad, and to a less extent in that of the Odyssey, a strong element of reform and expurgation. The epic tradition of Greece, vast and tangled in its wealth of varied beauty and ugliness as some South American forest, was left by the Homeric...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Greek Historians: Harvard Lectures This volume consists of the Lane Lectures which I had the honour of delivering at Harvard University in spring 1908, under the auspices of the Classical Department. They are printed very nearly as they were originally written, though some of my kind hearers, if they should glance through, may detect a good many passages which were omitted in the Lecture Hall. The book amounts to a historical survey of Greek historiography, down to the first century B.C., and such as it is, I dedicate it to Mr. Gardiner M. Lane, who founded the lecturership some years ago in the interests of humanistic study. The lecture on Herodotus would have gained much if Mr. Macan's admirable work on the last three Books had appeared in time for me to use it. It was satisfactory to find that he had established the priority of those Books with a convincing array of arguments.
