Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Literature of Ancient Greece, Vol. 3 of 3 We must now return to Athens, which had been the chief seat and centre of Greek literature during the second or classical period of its development, but had now, in all respects but one, resigned the leadership to the city of the Ptolemies. While Alexandria was producing the series of learned poets, acute grammarians, polyglot scholars, and original discoverers in mathematics and inductive science, which we have discussed in the two preceding chapters, Athenian literature was represented only by a chronicler or two, by a transient activity of the comic muse, and by the successive or contemporaneous establishment of certain forms of mental and moral philosophy, founded on the various Socratic schools which have been already traced to their origin.

Excerpt: ...he aims at a lofty, elegant, and elaborate (eyxareaxzvov) phraseolog.' In comparing these two masters of Greek eloquence, Dionysius has given us a very felicitous analogy. ' It seems to me, ' he says,2 ' that we should not err if we compared the diction of Plato to a meadow gay with flowers, and furnished with pleasant arbours and transient gratifications; 'whereas, the language of Demosthenes might be likened to a fruitful field, rich in produce, and wanting neither the necessaries of life nor the superfluities of enjoyment.' Although these remarks of Dionysius will be endorsed by most of the critical readers of Plato in our days, it will be felt that in some respects he has not done full justice to the literary merits of the great philosopher. In Plato the powers of the imagination were just as conspicuous as those of reasoning and reflexion; he had all the chief characteristics of a poet, especially of a dramatic poet; and if his rank as a philosopher had been lower than it is, he would still have stood unrivalled, except by Shakspere, in the power of exhibiting dramatically, and in the form of dialogue, a consistent development of character, and so giving to his interlocutors all that is required in a lifelike representation of the personages whose opinions he wishes to combat or defend. The slightest touch sometimes lends a finish to the picture, as when the equestrian Antipho is found in the act of ordering a bit,3 or the bare-footed Socrates either in his ordinary' or his exceptional attire.5 The more elaborate V and fanciful pictures which he introduces are not less remarkable for their descriptive power, than the dramatic incidents are for their vivid reality. Nothing can be..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Literature of Ancient Greece: To the Period of Isocrates Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, for which I was trans lating the History of Greek Literature from the author's manu script, commissioned me to complete the work, and a few pages of my continuation had been published, when the Society came to an end. From that time until rather less than three years ago, I heard no more of the book; but the present publishers, having become possessed of the copyright, have requested me to complete my original undertaking, and the following pages are the result. In thus accepting a task, perhaps the most laborious, in pro portion to its extent, that I could have undertaken, I have been induced by two motives: first, a wish to fulfil an obligation to the public, and to perform a promised duty to the memory of a distinguished scholar; secondly, a conviction that this book, if completed with tolerable success, would furnish an aid to the classical student which has not been and is not likely to be superseded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 427 B.C., the Ancient Greek city-state of Athens was flourishing. Approximately 80 years earlier, the Athenians had formed the first self-representative democracy in history, the Peloponnesian War against Sparta had only just started, and Socrates was only beginning to lay the foundation of what would become Western philosophy. None of Socrates' works survived antiquity, so most of what is known about him came from the writings of his followers, most notably Plato. What is known about Socrates is that he seemed to make a career out of philosophy, and Plato was intent on following in his footsteps. Yet for all of the influence of Socrates' life on his followers, it was Socrates' death around 399 B.C. that truly shaped them. Plato was so embittered by Socrates' trial in Athens that he completely soured on Athenian democracy, and Aristotle would later criticize politicians who relied on rhetoric; when Aristotle's own life was threatened, he fled Greece and allegedly remarked, "I will not allow the Athenians to sin twice against philosophy." About a decade after Socrates' death, Plato returned to Athens and founded his famous Platonic Academy around 387 B.C., which he oversaw for 40 years until his death. One of Plato's philosophical beliefs was that writing down teachings was less valuable than passing them down orally, and several of Plato's writings are responses to previous writings of his, so Plato's personally held beliefs are hard to discern. However, Plato educated several subsequent philosophers, chief among them Aristotle, and his writings eventually formed the backbone of Western philosophy. Alongside Socrates and Plato, Aristotle is, without question, one of the most influential ancient Greek philosophers and arguably the greatest icon of ancient thought. His life and work expanded rapidly and extensively across the ancient world, helped in part by the fact he tutored Alexander the Great, he was a recognized and celebrated intellectual force during all of antiquity and the Middle Ages. Furthermore, after Aristotle, Greek thought and political influence began a rapid decline, and the cultivation of knowledge, so important during the classic period, slowly but surely began to fade, making Aristotle the last of ancient Greece's great philosophers. Aristotle's influence on Western philosophical thought is marked by an extensive list of crucial issues that both signaled the way forward but at the same time boggled philosophers' minds throughout the centuries. Aristotle's reflections on Being, as well as his rigorous Logic, were his most important philosophical legacy, but he was also an intellectual in the broadest sense of the word. His interests went beyond metaphysical questions and into practical life and practical knowledge, from ethics to politics, rhetoric and the sciences, all of which left a profound impact on Western political thought and ethics. Naturally, this has also made him one of the foundations of knowledge and philosophical thought that subsequent philosophers relied on when forming and refining their own philosophies.
