Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tragedies of Aeschylus: Re-Edited With an English Commentary Besides the want of a good running commentary, in the way of foot - notes, compiled uniformly for all the plays of Aeschylus, one cause of the distaste which many feel towards the careful study of this great poet is the exaggerated notion which they entertain of the uncertainty of the text. Unfortunately, Aes chylus has more often been made a field for critical ingenuity than for the exercise of sober judgment and sound poetical taste. This is evidenced in the thousands of improbable conjectures which have been hazarded by critics of the so-called Porsonian school, who, mistaking mere shrewdness for scholarship, and ambitious only to surpass their predecessors in sagacity, have so handled the more obscure parts as scarcely to leave a line unquestioned or a phrase unassailed. Even where they have not ventured to alter, they have indulged in needless suspicions, and thus have tended to throw discredit upon the entire works on which they thought to shed a new light. Now, although a very large number of conjectural corrections must of necessity find a place in every good edition of the poet, and indeed are now adopted by almost universal consent, as possessing either self-evident truth or a degree of probability closely approximating to absolute certainty, these bear no proportion to the attempts that have been made upon passages which may, with at least equal proba bility, be pronounced perfectly genuine, and may often be proved so by parallel examples from the author himself. On the other hand, there are those who cause scarcely less dissatisfaction to a reader of taste, by rejecting all, or nearly all; conjectural correc tion, and by as greatly overrating the authority of our present imperfect mss. As the others depreciated it. They seem to think no idiom too complex, no figure of speech too harsh, no violation of the ordinary grammatical rules too gross, no metrical deviations too violent to be accepted as from the pen of Aeschylus himself. They construe through thick and thin, and convert nonsense into sense with a facility absolutely startling to sober scholars. With such a Scylla and such a Charybdis to avoid.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bibliotheca Classica: The Tragedies of Aeschylus; Re-Edited, With an English Commentary It may seem almost a contradiction to add, that the general style of Aeschylus has a straightforwardness and a simplicity rather epic 2 than dramatic in its character. The truth however is, that his narratives are too impetuous to be artistically involved and hence his idioms, on the whole, present a marked contrast with the complex and rhetorical constructions of Sophocles. Especially to be noticed is the natural order and arrangement of his words. The chief impediments arise from uncertainty of the readings, or archaic phraseology, or from some point of political or religious usage only partially known to us. The latter, indeed, - the religious system held and inculcated by the poet, - is of such paramount importance to the right understanding of his works, that an outline of it, - necessarily a very brief one, - may here be usefully subjoined.

Download or read book A Commentary on The Complete Greek Tragedies written by James C. Hogan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary offers a rich introduction and useful guide to the seven surviving plays attributed to Aeschylus. Though it may profitably be used with any translation of Aeschylus, the commentary is based on the acclaimed Chicago translations, The Complete Greek Tragedies, edited by David Grene and Richmond Lattimore. James C. Hogan provides a general introduction to Aeschylean theater and drama, followed by a line-by-line commentary on each of the seven plays. He places Aeschylus in the historical, cultural, and religious context of fifth-century Athens, showing how the action and metaphor of Aeschylean theater can be illuminated by information on Athenian law athletic contests, relations with neighboring states, beliefs about the underworld, and countless other details of Hellenic life. Hogan clarifies terms that might puzzle modern readers, such as place names and mythological references, and gives special attention to textual and linguistic issues: controversial questions of interpretation; difficult or significant Greek words; use of style, rhetoric, and commonplaces in Greek poetry; and Aeschylus's place in the poetic tradition of Homer, Hesiod, and the elegiac poets. Practical information on staging and production is also included, as are maps and illustrations, a bibliography, indexes, and extensive cross-references between the seven plays. Forthcoming volumes will cover the works of Sophocles and Euripides.
