Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Greek Poets in English Verse The editor has attempted in this work to do for Greek poetry, through the medium of translations, what has been so often done for English poetry, that is, to give to the reader, within the compass of a single volume, some idea of its wealth, and at the same time to stimulate and guide him to further and more thorough reading. The study of the Greek language would seem to be coming more and more to be the study of the few. But a knowledge of Greek history, Greek art, Greek literature, thought, and feeling, is the concern of everybody. Fortunately, these things are not the monopoly of Greek scholars. The English language now contains much excellent translation from the Greek, both prose and poetry, scattered, however, through a multitude of volumes. With the additional aid of the histories of Greek literature, the many critical essays upon Greek subjects, together with such works as the series of "Ancient Classics for English Readers," it has become quite possible to pursue a Greek course in English.
