Synopsis
Excerpt from Orace and His Age: A Study in Historical Background
Dialogue, the air must have for many been Oppressive with the memory of the sack of that island population, and charged with gloomy anticipations of retribution to follow in its wake. In the light of such knowledge it would not be difficult to invest many lines in the Troades (cf. 365 ar seq.) with a more poignant pity, and a greater depth of meaning, and that without any undue straining of the text. Instances might be multiplied indefinitely to show how a knowledge of the historical background will aid us in eliciting the full import of many a passage, which otherwise would have concealed half its meaning from our search.
