Excerpt from Greek Literature Life.-but the Greek books are not merely interesting as showing the methods and aims of early thinkers. They contain results, too, which have had the deepest and widest influence on the whole of modern life, in religion, in morality, in science, in politics, in litera ture. The thoughts of the great Greek thinkers have been bearing fruit in the world ever since they were first uttered. In some special sciences, the work done by the Greeks remains a basis of study to this day, as in Ethics and in Logic and in Geometry. It is in Greek historians and Greek orators that we read some of the political lessons most directly useful for our own time. Neither the history of Christian doc trine, nor the outer history of the Christian Church, can be fully understood without reference to the character and work of the Greek mind. Under the.

Excerpt from An Abridged History of Greek Literature The same idea of the nature of history has led us, in our account of the literary activity of Greece, to devote some space to Christian writers. Hellenism, in fact, existed side by side with Christianity for three centuries before disappearing to make room for the new religion. Hence the gradual modification which is an integral part of its history. One can understand neither the last pagan nor the first Christian writers if one separates arbitrarily the two currents that ran so long beside each other and eventually merged.

Excerpt from The Greek Classics, Vol. 2: Epic Literature, Part II The ancient record is in large part lost, in large part blurred and become difficult of decipherment. But much has been preserved, either actually and immediately, or mediate ly and indirectly in the tokens of influences on other civiliza tions; and by the use of methods and instruments of ever increasing precision in philological research the difficulties of decipherment are nearly met. Thus by the aid of hints that we'have we can discover anew in some measure what we have not. For, as Terence says, there is nothing so difficult that it may not be found out by searching.

Excerpt from The Greek View of Life The following pages are intended to serve as a general introduction to Greek literature and thought, for those, primarily, who do not know Greek. Whatever opinions may be held as to the value of translations, it seems clear that it is only by their means that the majority of modern readers can attain to any knowledge of Greek culture; and as I believe that culture to be still, as it has been in the past, the most valuable element of a liberal education, I have hoped that such an attempt as the present to give, with the help of quotations from the original authors, some general idea of the Greek view of life, will not be regarded as labour thrown away.
