Synopsis

Echoes From Kottabos is a book written by R. Y. Tyrrell, which is a collection of essays and lectures on various topics related to ancient Greek literature and culture. The book is divided into three parts, each dealing with a different aspect of Greek literature. The first part focuses on the literary and historical background of the Homeric epics, while the second part deals with the works of the tragedians, including Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. The third part explores the themes of love and beauty in Greek literature, and includes discussions on Plato's Symposium and the poetry of Sappho. Throughout the book, Tyrrell provides insightful commentary and analysis of the texts, drawing on his extensive knowledge of Greek literature and culture. The book is aimed at scholars and students of classics, but is also accessible to general readers with an interest in ancient Greek literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Thus thirty-six numbers came out under the original editors, after which Kottabos, which had enjoyed a longer lease of life than falls, as a rule, to the lot of College magazines, ceased to appear for some half-dozen years. In 1888 it was revived under the editorship of J. B. Bury, then a Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, now Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Cambridge. The first volume of the second series was completed in 1891, and a second, under the editor ship of Rev. George Wilkins, Fell. Trin. Coll., in 1895. Thus fifty numbers have been available for the present editors to choose from, and the interval between the first and the last number of Kottabos has been about twenty-five years. ROBERT Y. TYRRELL. We must own to having borrowed our title from that delightful volume Echoes from the Oxford Magazine ;but we hope this will not be taken as an invitation to readers to compare the two collections. To go no further, in one respect our method is quite different from that of the Oxford editors. They have included only verses of a comic (or at least serio-comic) complexion. Many, if not most, of ours wholly lack this character. Then, our contributors are numerous; while twenty-eight of the fifty-five pieces in the Oxford volume are the work of two writers, and all the contributions are far more deeply tinged than ours with the local colour and academic spirit.
