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.
