Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Fables of Phaedrus: With Indicated Quantities This selection of fables has been prepared for use in reading Latin aloud and, its natural concomitant, reading without a dictionary. The quantities have been marked rather than the accents, in the belief that better results in reading aloud can be reached by observing carefully the length of the vowels, than by attempting to follow mechanically the rhythm of the verse. For the same practical reason, it is suggested that the teacher follow Lucian Mueller's theory of the structure of the Latin verse, l remembering that the principle of quantity was the only one taken into account, and that the prose accent was neglected in the reading of poetry. Whatever may be said for or against this theory from the scientific point of view, it seems to furnish the best pedagogical solution of the much discussed problem of the relation of metrical ictus and prose accent. The few notes given with the text are such as I have found by actual trial had to be supplied to a class, composed mainly of sophomores and juniors in the University of Michigan, who had prepared their lessons without the aid of a lexicon or vocabulary. From the fact that the Latin is so simple, the book may be made useful in the high school course, by substituting it for some part of the regular work. The marked quantities will make easy the drill in reading aloud, so often neglected, in our high schools, much to the detriment of the pupils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reformer of the church, biblical theologian, and German translator of the Bible Martin Luther had the highest respect for stories attributed to the ancient Greek author Aesop. He assigned them a status second only to the Bible and regarded them as wiser than "the harmful opinions of all the philosophers." Throughout his life, Luther told and retold Aesop’s fables and strongly supported their continued use in Lutheran schools. In this volume, Carl Springer builds on the textual foundation other scholars have laid and provides the first book in English to seriously consider Luther’s fascination with Aesop’s fables. He looks at which fables Luther knew, how he understood and used them, and why he valued them. Springer provides a variety of cultural contexts to help scholars and general readers gain a deeper understanding of Luther’s appreciation of Aesop.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal fables are said to have originated with Aesop, a semilegendary Samian slave, but the earliest surviving record of the fables comes from the Latin poet Phaedrus, who introduced the new genre to Latin literature. This verse translation of The Fables is the first in English in more than two hundred years. In addition to the familiar animal fables, about a quarter of the book includes such diverse material as prologues and epilogues, historical anecdotes, short stories, enlarged proverbs and sayings, comic episodes and folk wisdom, and many incidental glimpses of Greek and Roman life in the classical period. The Fables also sheds light on the personal history of Phaedrus, who seems to have been an educated slave, eventually granted his freedom by the emperor Augustus. Phaedrus' style is lively, clean, and sparse, though not at the cost of all detail and elaboration. It serves well as a vehicle for his two avowed purposes—to entertain and to give wise counsel for the conduct of life. Like all fabulists, Phaedrus was a moralist, albeit on a modest and popular level. An excellent introduction by P. F. Widdows provides information about Phaedrus, the history of The Fables, the metric style of the original and of this translation, and something of the place of these fables in Western folklore. The translation is done in a free version of Anglo-Saxon alliterative verse, a form used by W. H. Auden and chosen here to match the popular tone of Phaedrus' Latin verse.
