A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Euripides. That this difference exists is not, so far as I know, disputed, and certainly cannot be disputed with reason; in many modern works of authority it has been justlv marked and emphasized. From Euripides death to the decline and fall of pagan learning there never was, so far as wt have evidence, any noteworthy dissent from the view that Euripides, however he, like any other artist, might be variously estimated by personal taste, stood at all events in the very first rank of artists, superior to all but the elect, and not demonstrably or confessedly inferior to any. Such is the opinion depicted, variously but harmoniously, by the highest representatives of literary culture in succession down to the very end, by Plato, by Cicero, by Lucian, and by all the voices who fill up that tract of time. There is not a sign that by any one commanding attention the question was ever raised whether Euripides had really deserved the honour of standing withS ophocles and with A eschylus. The opinion which groups them as different but equal is given by Cicero, for example, not as his own judgment, but as a commonplace.
