Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Homeric Ballads and Comedies of Lucian In this volume, the fourth of Dr. Maginn´s Miscellaneous Writings, will be found his translations of the Homeric Ballads, of sundry Homeric episodes, and of some of the Comedies of Lucian. They are now first collected, and contain almost the whole of Maginn´s translations from the Greek poets. I say almost the whole, because Dr. Maginn´s English version of the Batrachomyomachia (the mock-heroic Battle of the Frogs and Mice, ascribed to Homer), is not included. My two reasons for the omission will be considered plain enough and sufficient enough, I think. In the first place, I am not aware that this translation had ever appeared in print; and secondly, I have not been so fortunate as to meet it, in any shape. The Homeric Ballads, sixteen in number, are not to be con founded with The Hymns generally attributed to Homer, of which some spirited translations into English verse, appeared in Blackwood´s Magazine, nearly twenty years ago, from the pen of Dr. Badham. The first twelve of the Ballads, versified by Maginn, are portions of the Odyssey, sufficiently isolated in interest to bear separation from the main narrative, and sufficiently picturesque to permit their being rendered into English in a popular form, much akin, in fact, to that in which, tradition and conjecture agree in affirming, they were originally framed and sung. The Odyssey was Maginn´s favorite. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
