Book Description
Excerpt from Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, 1907, Vol. 18In a word, the metrical explanations of forms that abound in Greek poetry which are given by eminent Greek metricians, or a theory of the 'rhythmical' structure of these forms that has little, if any, support in ancient tradition? These questions are of importance sufficient to warrant a thorough reconsideration of the material to which they relate.Definitions of logaoedic metre are given by Hephaestion and Aristides Quintilianus. These, unhappily, are not complete. The reason of this, however, is apparent: the metre was relatively unimportant. Both authors add their statements about it to their general treatment of the larger subjects of dactylic and anapaestic metres. But the essential fact is made clear. Hephaestion briefly defines logaoedic metre to be the combination, within the same colon, pf two or more dactyls with a trochaic syzygy, or, in ascending rhythm, of two or more anapaests with a catalectic iambic syzygy (bacchius). The most noted form, he adds, in the second category has four anapaests, the first of which may be a spondee or iambus. Logaoedic cola, thus defined, are comparatively rare in Greek comedy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, Vol. 31 The play is not primarily concerned with the Stealing of Fire or with the Invention of the Arts or with the Destiny of Man. These three matters (especially the last two) interest the poet deeply, but they are not the heart of the drama. The action not only of the Vinctus but clearly of the Solutus too, and possibly of the whole trilogy, has for its spring the fact that Prometheus knows who is destined to overthrow Zeus, and refuses to tell. That is why - and not, after all, because he stole the fire - that he is punished in the play. And that is why, when he reveals the secret, he is released. It is desirable at the outset to be quite clear what the secret is. It is not that Zeus is destined one day to be overthrown by his son; Zeus knows that already. The secret is, which son. The most helpful commentary on this is the Theogony of Hesiod. Whatever else may be sophisticated or moralized in the Theogony, it is certainly not the matter with which we shall be dealing here. Observe that Kronos (a) is the youngest son, (b) is the most 'terrible, ' (c) hates his father. We shall find these three points recurring.

Excerpt from Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, Vol. 25 A chief reason of modern writers' neglect may be recognized in the fact that no express definition or catalogue of the exempla virtutis has come down to us from the Romans themselves. So, it would seem, the term eluded notice. The fact of its currency is established by the briefest survey of their literature.

Excerpt from Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, Vol. 29 The Greeks generally held that this immediate approach to truth was a gift of the gods. Dreams, for example, were a vision of the truth, though there were false dreams as well as true,1 and Prometheus taught men to distinguish the true from the false.1 Pindar says that the soul alone is from the gods; it sleeps while the limbs of the body are active, but when they sleep it gives in dreams clear knowledge of future joys and troubles. 1 Socrates is said to have inferred the day of his death from the dream of a woman who quoted Homer; 1 and Plato distinguishes between dreams in which man's lower nature con trols and those in which the reason rules; these may attain truth.'
