Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Idylls of Theocritus, Bion, and Moschus, and the War-Songs of Tyrtæus In the following translation of Theocritus, Bion, and Moschus, the text of Kiessling has been mainly adopted. But where a passage appeared obscure or corrupt, the translator has used his own judgment in deciding between the readings suggested by Heindorf, in 1810, Briggs, in 1821, and Wordsworth, in 1844; and has either recorded in notes, or admitted into the body of the translation, whichever he deemed preferable. He has also had recourse to the Poetæ Græci Minores, of Gaisford; to "Theocritus Sacram Scripturam illustrans," by Chr. Porschberger, Lipsiæ, 1744; and to the several metrical translations of Theocritus, &c., by Creech, Fawkes, Polwhele, and Chapman, the latter of which is appended to this volume. And he has given, in the form of notes, much information derived from these, and from scattered criticisms in the Classical Museum and elsewhere, including Smith´s Dictionaries of Greek and Roman Antiquities, and Biography. This labour has been undertaken and completed in the hope that it may be useful to those who have not leisure to search for themselves, and yet would fain refresh their memory with the sweet strains of the Doric minstrelsy, as well as to those who require assistance towards mastering these confessedly difficult poets.
