Hesiod, little has survived to attest its literary greatness :yet there have been handed down to us some few theological and historical fragments of the deepest interest to the antiquarian. The second, the classic age of Greece, after an interval of several centuries, is ushered in with the philosophical speculations ofT hales and Pythagoras: and the writings of Herodotus take up the history of the world, where it was left by his cotemporary Nehemiah, the last of the inspired historians. It was a period in which philosophy, and every art, and almost every kind of polished literature, reached an unequalled eminence, and in which the theological speculations of many of its philosophers soared above the gross materialism of preceding times: but it was an age remarkable for the ignorance of its learned in every thing connected with mythological and antiquarian research.
