Sivu 19 - Thammuz came next behind, Whose annual wound in Lebanon allured The Syrian damsels to lament his fate In amorous ditties all a summer's day; While smooth Adonis from his native rock Ran purple to the sea, supposed with blood Of Thammuz yearly wounded...
Sivu 230 - ... by the efforts of many sages and poets. All the Greek religious poetry treating of death and the world beyond the grave refers to the deities whose influence was supposed to be exercised in the dark region at the centre of the earth, and who were thought to have little connexion with the political and social relations of human life. These deities formed a class apart from the gods of Olympus, and were comprehended under the name of the Chthonian gods?
Sivu 221 - Greek people, either by the speed of horses, the strength and dexterity of the human body, or by skill in music. Such a victory as this, which shed a lustre not only on the victor himself, but on his family, and even on his native city, demanded a solemn celebration. This celebration might be performed by the victor's friends...
Sivu 58 - Odyssey is the return of Ulysses from a land lying beyond the range of human intercourse or knowledge, to a home invaded by bands of insolent intruders, who seek to rob him of his wife, and kill his son. Hence, the Odyssey begins exactly at that point where the hero is considered to be farthest from his home, in the island of Ogygia...
Sivu 221 - Or it might be deferred until after the victor's solemn return to his native city, where it was sometimes repeated, in following years, in commemoration of his success. A celebration of this kind always had a religious character, it often began with a procession to an altar or temple, in the place of the games or in the native city ; a sacrifice, followed by a banquet, was then offered at the temple, or in the house of the victor ; and the whole solemnity concluded with the merry and boisterous revel...
Sivu 294 - This satyric drama was not a comedy, but (as an ancient author aptly describes it) a playful tragedy. § Its subjects were taken from the same class of adventures of Bacchus and the heroes, as tragedy ; but they were so treated in connexion with rude objects of outward nature, that the presence and participation of rustic, f According to the verse : 'HM*x pit @an\ws Jv X»/j/X
Sivu 180 - Spindle" ('HXakrarr/), containing only 300 hexameter verses, in which she probably expressed the restless and aspiring thoughts which crowded on her youthful mind, as she pursued her monotonous work, has been deemed by many of the ancients of such high poetic merit as to entitle it to a place beside the epics of Homer t§ 11.
Sivu 30 - HvKxTn, pufftnss, fxt&innft and many other names. the people, as in the courts of justice, the nobles alone speak, advise, and decide, whilst the people merely listen to their ordinances and decisions, in order to regulate their own conduct accordingly; being suffered, indeed, to follow the natural impulse of evincing, to a certain extent, their approbation or disapprobation of their superiors, but still without any legal means of giving validity to their opinion.
Sivu 258 - General remarks oil the composition and style of the logographers. § 1. IT is a remarkable fact, that a nation so intellectual and cultivated as the Greeks, should .have been so long without feeling the want of a correct record of its transactions in war and peace. From the earliest times the East had its annals and chronicles. That Egypt possessed a history ascending to a very remote antiquity, not formed of mythological materials, but based upon accurate chronological records, is proved by the...
Sivu 223 - The good fortune or skill of the victor could not, however, be treated abstractedly ; but must be individualized by a description of his peculiar lot. This individual colouring might be given by representing the good fortune of the victor as a compensation for past ill fortune ; or, generally, by describing the alternations of fortune in his lot and in that of his family. Another theme for an ode might be, that success in gymnastic contests was obtained by a family in alternate generations, that...
