Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From the History of Alexander the Great IN the preparation of this little book I have borne constantly in mind the purpose of the Series of which it forms a part, as stated by Mr. Collar in the Preface to his edition of the Seventh Book of Virgil's Aeneid and I have endeavored to conform both to the principles there laid down and to the example set by his work itself. If my notes, as now completed, are somewhat more numerous than Mr. Collar's, it is partly because the editors-in-chief of the Series requested me to keep in view the wants of beginners, and partly because the peculiar phrases and constructions of Quintus Curtius frequently present difficulties even to students who have already made some acquaintance with Latin prose through Caesar or Nepos. As the book is intended mainly for those who have had but limited experience in reading continuous Latin narrative, I have tried to give in the notes all reasonable help not inconsistent with the demand for due diligence and effort on the part of the learner. I have, however. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Life of Alexander the Great by : Plutarch
Download or read book The Life of Alexander the Great written by Plutarch and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2004-04-13 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 336 b.c. Philip of Macedonia was assassinated and his twenty-year-old son, Alexander, inherited his kingdom. Immediately quelling rebellion, Alexander extended his father’s empire through-out the Middle East and into parts of Asia, fulfilling the soothsayer Aristander’s prediction that the new king “should perform acts so important and glorious as would make the poets and musicians of future ages labour and sweat to describe and celebrate him.” The Life of Alexander the Great is one of the first surviving attempts to memorialize the achievements of this legendary king, remembered today as the greatest military genius of all time. This exclusive Modern Library edition, excerpted from Plutarch’s Lives, is a riveting tale of honor, power, scandal, and bravery written by the most eminent biographer of the ancient world.

Like Caesar and Napoleon he was, however, pre-eminent for his administrative qualities and ex cept for his genius in this respect would have achieved little for mankind and certainly no lasting fame. We cannot conceive of Napoleon as having a superior as a soldier, but neither the studies of the great Corsican nor his experience prepared him to govern when he came to power, and it fell out that the structures he reared as Emperor fell about his ears like a house of cards, ere he ceased to rule.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Histories of Cyrus the Great and Alexander the Great One special object which the author of this series has had in View, in the plan and method which he has followed in the preparation of the successive volumes, has been to adapt them to the purposes of text-books in schools. The study of a general compend of history, such as is frequently used as a text-book, is highly use ful, if it comes in at the right stage of educa tion, when the mind is sufficiently matured, and has acquired sufficient preliminary knowledge to understand and appreciate so condensed a generalization as a summary of the whole his tory of a nation contained in an ordinary. Volume must necessarily be. Without this degree of maturity of mind, and this preparation, the study of such a work will be, as it too frequent ly is, a mere mechanical committing to mem ory of names, and dates, and phrases, which awaken no interest, communicate no ideas, and impart no useful knowledge to the mind.

The Ionians revolted from the latter, but were subdued after an unavailing struggle. At the Commencement of the revolt, the Athenians sent a fleet to aid their colo nists. The combined Athenian and Ionian forces marched to Sardes, and burned the Lydian capital. This rash act drew on Athens and 'on Greece the whole vengeance of the Persian monarchs. After a long and deadly contest, the Greeks lled the invaders, pursued them into Asia, and or a liberated their Asiatic fellow-countrymen. But their own civil 'contests diverted their attention from foreign objects, and their splendid victories had no farther result.

Download or read book The Anabasis of Alexander written by Arrian Arrian and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anabasis of Alexander: Or, the History of the Wars and Conquests of Alexander the Great When I began this Translation, more than two years ago, I had no intention of publishing it; but as the work progressed, it occurred to me that Arriam is an Author deserving of more attention from the English speaking races than he has yet received. No edition of his works has, so far as I am aware, ever appeared in England, though on the Continent many have been pub lished. In the following Translation I have tried to give as literal a rendering of the Greek text as I could with out transgressing the idioms of our own language. My theory of the duty of a Translator is, to give the ipsissima verba of his Author as nearly as possible, and not put into his mouth words which he never used, under the mistaken notion of improving his diction or his way of stating his case. It is a comparatively easy thing to give a paraphrase of a foreign work, presenting the general drift of the original; but no one, unless he has himself tried it, can understand the difficulty of trans lating a classical Author correctly without omission or mutilation.

Download or read book Alexander the Great (Classic Reprint) written by Ada Russell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alexander the Great It is difficult to realize that the earth on which Alexander the Great was born was the same in its main outlines as the earth on which we stand to-day, and at the same time to realize how very different from our present knowledge were men's ideas then of its area. Even modern writers picture Alexander as primitive in his notions, and it will be interesting to remember, when we find him anxious to press ever farther and farther east and south, that the philosophers of his time, especially his great teacher Aristotle, had just announced new arguments to prove that the earth was spherical in form. The old Homeric ideas that the earth was a flat disk, that the bronze firmament, set with stars, was upheld on great pillars by Atlas, and that the sun (as Herodotus imagined) could be blown out of its course by a strong wind, had passed away for ever. Among the earliest peoples to travel about the sea were the Ph nicians, a Semitic race akin to the Jews, and the greatest trading and maritime race of antiquity. They ventured far in search of the rich merchandise which they brought back to their cities of Tyre and Sidon on the coast of Syria, to Carthage on the north coast of Africa, and to their other settlements at all quarters of the Mediterranean. They are believed to have learned the alphabet and other arts from their customers the Egyptians, and to have been the teachers of the Greeks in these matters.
