Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Study of Quintus of Smyrna The purpose of this study is to give a comprehensive outline of the present state of our knowledge of the Posthomerica. While the works of former scholars have been freely used, an effort has been made to contribute something toward fixing the date of the author, and an analysis has been made of the matter and style of his poem to show his relation to Homer. In a chapter on sources it is argued that there is a probability that Quintus had read the Cyclics, Baumstarck´s view that he borrowed largely from Æschylus is combated, some points are added to the proof that he borrowed from Virgil, and attention is called to the parallelism between Quintus and Seneca. This work was undertaken at the suggestion of Professor Paul Shorey, of the University of Chicago. To him the writer is indebted for guidance in classical study, and in particular for helpful criticism and advice in the prosecution of the present work. Thanks are also due Professor Edward Capps, of the University of Chicago, whose advice has been frequently sought, and who has given the work the advantage of his trained eye in proof-reading.
