Public ISBD Titre : Comparative Literature Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hutcheson Macaulay Posnett, Auteur Editeur : Theclassics.Us Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 116 p. Format : 24.61 x 18.9 x 0.61 centimetres (0.22 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-230-73749-2 Note générale : This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... the mistress of intellect. Without any store of common sympathies which plebeian and patrician might feel alike, Rome had no social ideals such as literature desires; and if she had heroes of her own, they only served to summon up recollections of kingly or aristocratic despotism. The production of Roman literature, about the middle of the third century B.C., opened with a stock of materials and ideas meagre in the extreme. No kinsmen of Rome had created a vehicle of verse like the hexameter, iambic, or elegiac of Greece; the rude Saturnian seems to have been the only metre known. Nor had any Miletus of the West laid the foundations of Roman prose; chronicles, of the barest kind conceivable, and laws, apparently without note or comment, seem as yet to have been the only types of Latin prose. Dionysius, indeed, speaks of irarptot ifivoi as still sung in his own time by Romans; and Cicero twice refers to a passage in Cato's Originea which speaks of old Roman songs sung at banquets to the accompaniment of a tibia in praise of great men. Rut, in spite of Niebuhr's and Macaulay's inferences from these authorities, it cannot be seriously maintained that Rome ever possessed a popular ballad-poetry. For, in the first place, Rome possessed no background of myth which such early poetry might have used as its wondeiland. This absence of myth has been attributed to the nature of Rome's early religion; and it must be admitted that such transparent names as Saturn us (Sowing), Fides, Terminus, were not likely to aid the creation of poetic mythology. But deeper reasons for the absence of heroic mythology in early Rome are discoverable in her ancient social life. Whatever germs of epic poetry may have existed in the private hymus or songs of patricians, ..
