Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of Translations From the Greek Anthology The following Translations, executed at intervals during the last twenty years, appeared from time to time in Kilmarnock or Glasgow journals. They were undertaken solely as a literary solace, and with no view to subsequent collection and republication. But during late years I have been asked so often, and by so many, to republish them that I at last reluctantly consented. However, I had got jaded, and I shrank from the labour of revision. But I did them at first as carefully as I could, and I am not sure that by revision I should have improved them. Still, if I did not think they had some merit, especially that of fidelity, no solicitation, however urgent, would have induced me to republish.

Download or read book English Translations from the Greek: A Bibliographical Survey written by Finley Melville Kendall Foster and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originating from a study of the people's attitude in the first thirty years of the nineteenth century toward the classics, English Translations from the Greek by Finley Melville Kendall Foster lists the significant translations published during those years. In order to have the necessary material for a close study of the original list, extensive research was conducted for around fifty years. The result of these discoveries is embodied in the list of translations that make up this book's contents. Foster hopes to educate people about and make them familiar with the various kinds of Greek literature that have been popular at different times during the last four hundred and thirty years. He has in no way attempted to discuss the standards or the benchmarks of a good translation, the reason being that the making of an English version of a Greek original presents difficulties little distinct from those of translation from any other language into English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Translations From the Greek: A Bibliographical Survey A word, perhaps, is necessary in the way Of definition Of translation. In this list I have aimed to include only such works as profess to be English renderings of Greek writings. In some cases, chiefly before 1700, the English translation was made from a French, Italian, or Latin version Of the Greek original. SO far as possible, such instances have been noted. I have not included adaptations, paraphrases, and the like; nor have I attempted to record solitary translations Of excerpts from Greek literature. A book Of translations in the literal sense Of the word has been my basis for entering a title in the following list. The author would be the last one to claim infallibility for this list. One has but to attempt to gather together any considerable number Of titles on a given subject to come to a realization Of the difficulties Of the work. Here a little and there a little is a true text in any such under taking; and two translations in a bushel Of books is no rare occurrence. I have listed the facts as I have been able to gather them; but I dare not vouch that in all cases they are complete. I hope some Of the more elusive ones will be added at some future time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greek Anthology It is true that, amidst the general chorus of appro bation which they have excited, a few anserine dis cords have occasionally been heard. Chesterfield, in his famous Letters, thus peremptorily denounces them to his son I hope you will keep company with Horace and Cicero among the Romans, and Homer and Xenophon among the Greeks, and that you have got out of the worst company in the world - the Greek epigrams. Martial has wit, and is worth looking into sometimes; but I recommend the Greek epigrams to your supreme contempt. But whatever we may think of his lordship in respect of knowledge of life and worldly wisdom, we are not disposed to bow to his authority in literature any more than in morals.

Download or read book Epigrams from the Greek Anthology written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lush Diodorus sets the lads on fire, But now another has him in his net - Timarion, the boy with wanton eyes . . . Meleager, AP 12.109 Encompassing four thousand short poems and more, the ramshackle classic we call the Greek Anthology gathers up a millennium of snapshots from ancient daily life. Its influence echoes not merely in the classic tradition of the English epigram (Pope, Dryden) but in Rudyard Kipling, Ezra Pound, Virgina Woolf, T. S. Eliot, H.D., and the poets of the First World War. Its variety is almost infinite. Victorious armies, ruined cities, and Olympic champions share space with lovers' quarrels and laments for the untimely dead - but also with jokes and riddles, art appreciation, potted biographies of authors, and scenes from country life and the workplace. This selection of more than 600 epigrams in verse is the first major translation from the Greek Anthology in nearly a century. Each of the Anthology's books of epigrams is represented here, in manuscript order, and with extensive notes on the history and myth that lie behind them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of Greek Epigrams: Done Into English Verse The Greek epigram as it appears in Mr. Mackail's pages, and in a lesser degree in what follows, throws a flood of light upon Greek life and thought, through many centuries. In its intimacy and directness it is like the snap-shots of our amateur photographers it leads one into sympathy with the early archwologist wandering near the sites of dead cities, with the sailors tossing on the rough nean, and honouring the tombs of their lost comrades with the cares and the sorrows of the old fisher - folk, with the simple joy of the Greek in the groves, the mountain meadows and the fountain; with the fun which they could make of their gods, and with their ques tions on the deeper issues of life. Much is lost in every translation, even when it proceeds from skilled and accomplished hands, and much more when it proceeds from unskilled ones. Yet so vital is Beauty that I entertain the hope that something of the directness, the simplicity and the grace of these Greek epigrams may be apparent under their clothing in a foreign garb. E. F.
