Leslie White Hopkinson epub Greek Leaders (Classic Reprint)

In trying to present in one short and readable volume the results of the best scholarship applied to eleven different subjects, I have of course had to consult a great number and variety of authorities, more than it is practicable to enumerate here. My obligations, however, to the various translators upon whom I have so freely drawn must be acknowledged in more detail. The version of Plutarch is that commonly known as Dryden s, revised and edited by Arthur Hugh Clough. Those ofT hucydides and Plato (the Banquet) are Jowett s, while the passages from Plato sA pology and Phcedo are taken from an anonymous translation published in 1879 under the title of Socrates, with an introduction by Professor W. W. Goodwin. For the extracts from the orations of Demosthenes I am greatly indebted toM r. PickardC ambridge sD emosthenes and theL ast Days of Greek Freedom (G. P. Putman sS ons). As for the metrical versions of Solon spoems, those in rhymed hexameters and in blank verse are taken fromM r. F. G. Kenyon stranslation of Aristotle sC onstitution of A thens (G. Bell Sons, Ltd.); the passage beginning, Solon surely was a dreamer, occurs inC loughs Plutarch (L ife of Solon); while the elegiacs are an experiment of my own. In quoting the Clouds of Aristophanes I have taken the great liberty of combining the standard translation of Mr. B. B. Rogers (G. Bell Sons, Ltd.) with that introduced by Mr. A. D. Godley in hisS ocrates and Athenian Society. For all these I wish to express my thanks. L. W.
