Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ballads of Hellas Published by George Bell and Sons, London, England, in 1878, these ballads have been out of print for nearly forty years. I now re-publish them in the hope that they may again serve the purpose which they originally served - i. e. that, in running commentaries on the text of the original accounts in Herodotus and Xenophon, they may meet, so far as they go, the difficulty that young learners experience in grasping the subject matter of their translation-work. The general idea of them was of course suggested by Macaulay's Lays of Ancient Rome, but, so far as the spirit of them is concerned, there is more in them of Scott than of Macaulay. In those far-off days I tested the ballads by actual use, and was quite convinced of the value of the principle on which they were written. So forth they fare again.

Download or read book The First Six Books of the Iliad of Homer written by Edward Simms and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Six Books of the Iliad of Homer: Translated Into Fourteen-Slyllable Verse: With Preface and Notes, and a Map of Greece in the Homeric Age I owe it to the memory of a dear departed brother, Mr. Charles S. Simms, of Manchester, to state, on the forefront of this work, that he was the first to suggest to me the metre of this Translation as the best the English language offers for such a purpose. Indeed he did much more. He himself translated the First Book of the Iliad into this fourteen-syllable metre, and published his Translation in a quarto pamphlet at Manchester in the year 1866. It is a singularly accurate version by one, to whom the mastery of the Greek language was not the attainment of youth, but was acquired in after-life, as a recreation and solace, amidst the active occupations of a busy commercial career. Its chief defect is a frequent sacrifice of the English to the Greek idiom, arising from a too-anxious desire for a very exact rendering of the original. His version of the First Book is the basis of the one now offered, in which I have been solicitous to retain, amidst all the alterations, the substance and features of my dear brother's work.

Download or read book The History of Greece written by Thomas Keightley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Greece: To Which Is Added, a Chronological Table of Contemporary History This history, since its first publication, has received many additions and improvements. For as I wrote each of my his tories some improvement suggested itself, which I then trans ferred to its predecessors when they came to a new edition. Of most of these an account will be found in the Preface to the Fourth Edition of my History of Rome. Here I shall only notice one improvement. The references to authorities in the first edition were rare; not that I was not fully aware of their great importance, but the necessity of keeping the book of a limited size in order that it might be sold at a moderate price, and an idea that those who would use it might care little about authorities, led me to neglect them except in some important cases. I was soon however induced to change my plan by receiving a letter from the late Dr. Arnold of Rugby, in which, when speaking of the work, he said, I lost no time in directing the introduction of your History into this school, where I think it will be found both agreeable and useful. In another edition I think that I would in your case put the authorities at the bottom of the page. Without them the book can only be aboy's book, with them it would be an admirable summary of Grecian history for any one. And I have found by experience in writing his tory, that I like to have the references even as a check upon my own accuracy. I think one is apt otherwise to write a little beyond the warrant of one's authority. But this is a matter of opinion on which many I dare say will differ. There can be no doubt, I think, as to the general merits of your book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Greek Epic Classic Reprint written by George Charles Winter Warr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greek Epic The field of early Greek literature has been fairly thrown open to the 'English reader' within our generation, and more especially in the last twenty years, not only by new translations in prose as well as verse, and direct aids such as Mr. Gladstone's 'Juventus Mundi, ' Prof. Jebb's 'Introduction to Homer, ' Mr. Andrew Lang's 'Homer and the Epic, ' and Mr. Walter Leafs 'Companion to the "Iliad,"' but indirectly through works in which the latest results of archaeological and linguistic research have been sifted and condensed, such as Schuchhardt's survey of Schliemann's discoveries and Schrader's treatise on Aryan antiquities. For those who purpose to possess themselves of 'Homer' and 'Hesiod' as thoroughly as they can with such assistance, and to study them in earnest as they study Chaucer and Shakespeare, an easy 'popular' sketch of the subject would be superfluous even if it were not already at hand in more than one old-fashioned manual.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comic History of Greece: From the Earliest Times to the Death of Alexander the Great A preface is usually an apology, - a gratuitous confession of a weakness which the writer would be chagrined to have the reader accredit to him. The critic is thus informed of the heel of Achilles, and very gratefully proceeds to aim his shafts at that point of vulnerability. This book was undertaken for the purpose of getting even with Greece for ever venturing to have a history. Two or three of the unstudious back row of which the author was a conspicuous member at college have expressed, with humiliating frank ness, their astonishment at the writer's associa tion with the project, and their concern for the publisher. At any rate, the author does not forget the exasperating Hellenic topography which he was compelled to describe, nor is he likely to lose sight of the drudgery which began with the Pelas gians and concluded with Philip of Macedon and an apology.
