Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Roman Literature The greater part of the book is naturally taken up with the extant literary works and their authors; but I have devoted some space to the lives and works of authors whose writings are lost. This I have done, not because I believe that the reader should burden his memory with useless details, but partly in order that this book may be of use as a book of reference, and partly because the men tion of some of the lost works and their authors may im press upon the reader the fact that something is known of many writers whose works have survived, if at all, only in detached fragments. Not a few of these writers were im portant in their day, and exercised no little influence upon the progress of literature. Of the whole mass of Roman literary production only a small part - though fortunately in great measure the best part - now exists, and it is only by remembering how much has been lost that the modern reader can appreciate the continuity of Roman literature. The literature of the third, fourth, and fifth centuries after Christ is treated less fully than that of the earlier times, but its importance to later European civilization has been so great that a summary treatment of it should be included even in a book of such limited scope as this.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roman Literature But apart from this direct historical importance, the Latin literature is hardly less deserving of our study as the channel through which for many centuries the thought of Greece found its way to the Western world. Direct communication between the East and the West was rare and scanty during the time when the great modern nations were forming. The only access which these had to the fountain-heads of poetry and philosophy was through the Latin writers. If it had not been for the echoes which the latter sent on, the voices which first aroused the sense of the true and the beautiful would have been silenced for ages. It is true that when Greek literature came to be known directly to the Western world its influence was far more powerful than it had been when only known through Latin. But this must not make us forget how much the Latin literature had done for men like Dante and Chaucer, and we may even add Shakspere, to whom Greek was still unknown.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Teuffel's History of Roman Literature, Vol. 1: Revised and Enlarged As regards orthography, I have retained the usual Rom anized spelling for Greek names of localities, while I have followed the German edition in writing Greek personal names without excep tion as in Greek (keeping y as the proper representative of upsilon).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Specimens of Roman Literature: Passages Illustrative of Roman Thought and Style To readers of this class the Editors trust the present volume may prove a really valuable aid the bringing together of different and often conflicting views, will show the limits within which Roman opinion varied. The chronological arrangement was adopted in Part II. For obvious reasons, but abandoned in Part I., chiefly from the consideration that, there having been no regular unfolding or orderly development of thought in Rome (such as was the case, for example, in Greece), any attempt to tabulate, on a chrono logical basis, the opinions held on a given subject, would be delusive. The present arrangement, involving, as it does, two principles, labours under the disadvantage of being somewhat unsymmetrical, but it is hoped that the practical advantage thus gained will outweigh the aesthetic deficiency.

Download or read book Springs and Wells in Greek and Roman Literature Their Legends and Locations Classic Reprint written by James Reuel Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Springs and Wells, in Greek and Roman Literature, Their Legends and Locations Even the Queen and the King, in the days of fable, were constrained to visit the sources of water supply quite as forcibly as Mahomet was compelled to the Mountain, and, just as, later, the idler at the village pump, or the more aspiring Spa, learned all the news of the neighborhood, so the reader, who leisurely traces the path that meanders by the numerous fountains of the ancient writers and makes the rounds of the Springs of Mythology, becomes the entertained recipient of all the gossip and the family history of that classic band of beings of the brain that the early poets preserved and transmitted to posterity. The gossip at each successive Spring widens the readers circle of acquaintance, and, before the end of the path is reached, there is little of interest in the records of the masters of make-believe that has not been laid before the literary loiterer and absorbed in the most pleasant manner. One of the first of the philosophic tenets likely to present itself to the human mind would be Metempsychosis, and Metamorphosis would follow by natural suggestion. Given the factors of facial resemblance, affection and absence, and the germs of the doctrine would inevitably sprout in some thinking brain. Later, in meditation, fancy and reasoning would find no limit to the guises the vital spirit might assume.

Download or read book The Rise of the Roman Empire written by Polybius and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2003-08-28 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek statesman Polybius (c.200–118 BC) wrote his account of the relentless growth of the Roman Empire in order to help his fellow countrymen understand how their world came to be dominated by Rome. Opening with the Punic War in 264 BC, he vividly records the critical stages of Roman expansion: its campaigns throughout the Mediterranean, the temporary setbacks inflicted by Hannibal and the final destruction of Carthage. An active participant of the politics of his time as well as a friend of many prominent Roman citizens, Polybius drew on many eyewitness accounts in writing this cornerstone work of history.
