Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prometheus Bound of AEschylus To Lydia Dorsey Wier A little souvenir of summer days When all secure from summer's ardent rays We mused upon the shrill cicala's lyre Thrilling the drowsy woodland with its lays; Or turning gazed across the pulsing bay Whereover Ph bus shook the fires of day, And marked the merry sails go on agleam Down to the world that far beyond us lay. A little souvenir of summer days, A gleam late stolen from the ancient blaze; - If for an hour it light some dim heart-fane, Thou art the inspiration, thine the praise.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prometheus Bound of AEschylus One of the features of Greek litera ture is its regular and harmonious development. First comes the rise of the epic; when this form has been thoroughly worked over, lyric poetry expands and becomes predominant; out of the lyric grows the drama and last of all comes the splendid harvest of prose. Yet in one sense the lyric is in Greece, as elsewhere, the mother of all poetical forms. The epos is but a devel Opment and interknitting of the old songs of the minstrels celebrating the deeds of heroes and ancestors; the drama grew directly from the chants, now passionate and now ribald, sung in honor of Dionysus. And in both cases the genius of a single man was so predominant as to establish once and forever the model which all were to follow. What Homer did for epic, Aeschylus accomplished for tragic poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aeschylus Prometheus Bound: With Introduction and Notes Our play contains only a portion of the story. In the sequel the poet had the opportunity of representing Zeus as grand, benevolent, and generous, having learnt much by length of rule, and having passed from a tyrant into the wearer of a time - honoured crown and, coming last, this side of the picture would leave the deepest impression. In the Prometheus Bound we hear of the tyranny of Zeus chiefly from those who suffer from it. Neither Zeus himself, nor any of the greater Olympian Gods, appear upon the stage and it is open to us to suppose that his tyranny may have been even necessary in the age of general violence from which it had just emerged.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from AEschylus' Prometheus Bound: And the Seven Against Thebes AEschylus, the first of the great Grecian writers of tragedy, was born at Eleusis, in 525 B.C. He was the son of Euphorion, who was probably a wealthy owner of rich vineyards. The poets early emplojTment was to watch the grapes and protect them from the ravages of men and other animals, and it is said that this occupation led to the development of his dramatic genius. It is more easy to believe that it was responsible for the development of certain other less admirable qualities of the poet. His first appearance as a tragic writer was in 499 B.C., and in 484 B.C. he won a prize in the tragic contests. He took part in the battle of Marathon, in 490 B.C., and also fought in the battle of Salamis, in 480 B.C. He visited Sicily twice, and probably spent some time in that country, as the use of many Sicilian words in his later plays would indicate. There is a curious story related as to his death, which took place at Gela in 456 B.C. It is said that an eagle, mistaking his bald head for a stone, dropped a tortoise upon it in order to break its shell, and that the blow quite killed AEschylus. Too much reliance should not be placed upon this story. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prometheus Bound of Aeschylus: Rendered Into English Verse It is to be observed that, taken by themselves, none of these models can be altogether followed. In the Elizabethan drama there is much that is deficient in universality, that calls up rufi'led collars and pointed beards-verbal conceits, ephe meral mannerisms. The Hebraic language of the Bible is too primitive, to say nothing Of its dearth Of adjectives, to render the more complex and various language of Greek poetry. The classical constructions of Milton have never become part of English, and would be intolerable at second hand: they would give exactly that cast of cold and conventional unreality, which vitiates what one may call the Eighteenth Century view of Greek antiquity, and which it is one of the main pro-occupations of a translator to avoid.

Download or read book The Authenticity of Prometheus Bound written by Mark Griffith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-26 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prometheus Bound was accepted without question in antiquity as the work of Aeschylus, and most modern authorities endorse this ascription. But since the nineteenth century several leading scholars have come to doubt Aeschylean authorship. Dr Griffith here provides a thorough and wide-ranging study of this problem, and concludes: 'Had Prometheus Bound been newly dug up from the sands of Oxyrhynchus... few scholars would regard it as the work of Aeschylus.' After a preliminary assessment of the external evidence, Dr Griffith examines minutely the idiosyncrasies of metre, dramatic technique, vocabulary, syntax and expression to be found in the play, applying the same tests to other plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides in order to provide a control for his methods. In his final chapter he discusses how the conditions surrounding the ancient transmission and cataloguing of texts may have led to the ascription to Aeschylus.
