Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Classical Subjects
The first five lectures are concerned with the Spirit and ideas of the classical poets: the next two with the form of their poetry: the remaining three are added in the hope that they may be useful or suggestive to students as an introduction to the large subjects of which they treat, and of which they do not for a moment profess to give a complete account.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the diverse beliefs of ancient Greece and Rome concerning life after death. The author traces the evolution of these beliefs from the Homeric era, marked by a relatively bleak view of the afterlife, through the rise of hero-worship and the cult of the dead, and finally to the more complex and nuanced ideas that emerged in the classical period. The book examines the significance of popular customs, such as bringing offerings to the tombs of the deceased, and explores the role of philosophers and poets in shaping beliefs about the afterlife. By synthesizing evidence from literature, inscriptions, and archaeological findings, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of the ancient Greek and Roman perspectives on mortality and the nature of existence beyond the grave, offering valuable insights into the beliefs and practices that shaped their civilizations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330571125_0
