Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public and Private Life of the Ancient Greeks The German books from which the author of this volume has taken a large portion of his facts and observations, contain, of course, much fuller and more complete information than it was practicable to compress within the narrow limits to which he had confined himself; but they are also too voluminous either to attract, or materially to assist, beginners in Greek literature.

This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charicles or Illustrations of the Private Life of the Ancient Greeks We possess In these works compendious portraitures, tableaux vivants as it were, representing private life at Rome and Athens; and by looking on this picture and then on that, much knowledge may be derived alike in structive and suggestive. In the former we behold the favourite of Augustus, stern in his sense of honour; ma jestic and dignified even in his pleasures; fond of art, though his devotion for it, true to the imitative nature of his countrymen, is rather of a formal and acquired than inborn and imaginative cast. He is the type of his nation, who loved to adorn their palaces and villas with works of Greek art, as with so many pieces of elegant furniture; thus verifying the proverb, that the wolf's-milk which suckled their progenitors never became a real fountain of the muses. They were the great borrowers Of their day, adapting themselves to foreign habits and institutions with marvellous facility, doing Violence to nature, and trampling over obstacles physical and moral. How perfectly ah tipodes to them in all the phases of their character were the children of Daedal Greece!

Download or read book Charicles or Illustrations of the Private Life of the Ancient Greeks written by W. A. Becker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charicles or Illustrations of the Private Life of the Ancient Greeks The motto from Plutarch prefixed to Charicles, while it intimates the scope and object of the author, is an eloquent though brief argument for the utility of such a work. This description of the every-day pursuits and lighter occupations of the Greeks, this glimpse at their domestic scenes, and introduction, so to speak, to the interior of their dwellings, not only infuse additional zest into the student's survey of their life as a nation; but will also prove no mean auxiliary in estimating the motives and springs of their public actions as chronicled by the historian; pretty much on the same principle that we are prone to contemplate the doings of public men with more curious interest, should we happen also to enjoy their private personal acquaintance. The words of Böttiger respecting Rome admit of application here: 'We gain a correcter and deeper insight into the private life, a look, as it were, behind the postscenia of a people, whose public virtues and vices we are too apt to pronounce judgment on with reference solely to the universal history of the world and of nations.' The learned author here quoted, who for fifty years so successfully prosecuted his antiquarian and archæological researches, may be pronounced the originator of this species of antique domestic literature.
