Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Odyssey When the great city of Troy had been taken, all the Chiefs who had fought against it set sail for their homes. But there was wrath in heaven against them, so that they did not find a safe and happy return. For one was shipwrecked, and another was shamefully slain by his false wife in his palace, and others found all things at home troubled and Changed, and were driven to seek new dwellings else where; and some were driven far and wide about the world before they saw their native land again. Of all, the wise Ulysses was he that wandered farthest and suffered most, for when ten years had well-nigh passed, he was still far away from Ithaca, his kingdom. The gods were gathered in council in the hall of Olympus, all but Poseidon, for he had gone to feast with the Ethiopians. Now Poseidon was he who most hated Ulysses, and kept him from his home.

Download or read book A Story of the Golden Age Classic Reprint written by James Baldwin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Story of the Golden Age To repeat, for your enjoyment, some of the most beauti ful of the old Greek myths. If I have, now and then, given them a coloring slightly different from the ori gimal, you will remember that such is the right of the story-teller, the poet, and the artist. The essential features of the stories remain unchanged. I have, all along, drawn freely from the old tragedians, and now and then from Homer himself; nor have I thought it necessary in every instance to mention authorities, or to apologize for an occasional close imitation of some of the best translations. The pictures of old Greek life have, in the main, been derived from the Iliad and the Odyssey, and will, I hope, help you to a better understanding of those poems when you come to make acquaintance directly with them. Should you become interested in the Story of the Golden Age, as it is here related, do not be disap pointed by its somewhat abrupt ending; for you will find it continued by the master-poet of all ages, in a manner both inimitable and unapproachable. If you are pleased with the discourse of the porter at the gate, how much greater shall be your delight when you stand in the palace of the king, and hearken to.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Circe: A Dramatic Fantasy N o mention is made of Penelope, the wife of Ulysses, at any point in the story of Circe but we read that Ulysses lingered in the enchanted island, until his men were finally compelled, seizing an opportunity when Circe was away, to remonstrate with their chief and rouse him to thoughts of a return to his home. Homer says that the attendants of the Enchantress in her palace were nymphs, such as derive their being from the fountains, the groves, and the rivers flowing to the sea. The First Act of the play brings Ulysses and his companions into Circe's palace; the Second Act takes them out of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Familiar Studies in Homer Homeric archaeology has, within the last few years, finally left the groove of purely academic discussion to advance along the new route laid down for it by practical methods of investigation. The results are full of present interest, and of future promise. They already imply a reconstruction of the Hellenic past; they vitalise the Homeric world, bringing it into definite relations with what went before, and with what came after, and transforming it from a poetical creation into an historical reality. Excavations and explorations in Greece, Egypt, and Asia Minor, have thus entirely changed the aspect of the perennial Homeric problem, and afford reasonable hope of providing it with a satisfactory solution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homer's Odyssey, Books XIII-XXIV: Edited With English Notes and Appendices This volume is designed as a continuation of the commem tary on the Odyssey which was begun, more than a quarter of a century ago, by the late Mr. Riddell of Balliol. As all scholars are aware, the first part Of the projected work, comprising books i - xii, was completed by Dr. Merry and published in 1875. A second edition, with a good deal of new matter, appeared in 1885. In the present state Of scholarship an editor of Homer is almost obliged to form some opinion on the multifarious issues which make up the Homeric question.' I have therefore been led to add Appendices of somewhat unusual length, containing a statement of the views which seem to me on the whole the most in accordance with the existing evidence. In the course of this work I found it desirable to reproduce the substance (and occasionally the language) of two papers on the Epic Cycle which appeared in the yonmal of Hellenic Studies (in the volumes for 1883 and I have to thank the Hellenic Society for permitting this, and also for allowing me to use the illustrations of the Homeric House which will be found on pp. 490, 491, 497.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unity of Homer Homer was such a master of dramatic narra tive that each character represents only himself. When once Nestor, Achilles, Helen, Hector, or Agamemnon has been brought into action, each seems to live his own life, free to act or to speak as he pleases, entirely detached from the mind which created him. The poet seems never to have made an allusion to contemporary events, so that it is impossible to assign him to a definite age; and his references to rivers, mountains, lands, and seas are so im personal, so involved in the story he is telling, that it is as difficult to name his home as it is to define his time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Odyssey, Vol. 1: With Introduction, Notes, and Table of Homeric Forms Calypso, the Island Queen, is warned by heaven to release her prisoner, and sends him away in a boat of his own fashioning. But the wrath of Poseidon follows him on the sea, and wrecks his frail craft on the shore of Scheria, the happy land of the Phaeacians. But he is rescued by the fair princess Nausicaa, who brings him to the palace of her father, King Alcinous, where he is royally entertained. At the bidding of the King he tells the strange story of his wanderings from the time he left Troy till he was thrown upon the coast of Ogygia, where Calypso lived. He had landed in the country of the Ciconians, and left there many of his comrades dead: he had seen the homes of the Lotus-eaters, and could scarcely tear his men away from the dreamy charm of the land. He had faced the cannibal Cyclops in his mountain-den, and revenged himself on the monster by blinding his solitary eye, after escaping from his clutches by a grotesque stratagem. Next we hear of him at the floating isle of Aeolus, and see him blown back from the very shores of his own country through the treachery of his sailors, who Opened the Bag of Winds that Aeolus had given him.
