Selections From The Greek Historians PDF Download

Excerpt from Selections From Greek Historians (Based Upon Felton's Selections) In the notes my aim has been to furnish aid to the student. The teacher will have access to more exhaustive commentaries. I have not intended to pass over any real difficulty unnoticed, and at the same time I have tried to avoid the mistake of giving unnecessary help. The notes assume that every student has at his elbow a Classical Dictionary, both of Biography and of Antiquities, a Classical Atlas, and a good history of Greece. At the head of the notes on the several selections have been placed references to those parts of Grote, Curtius, Smith (the larger history), and Cox (the General History), which elucidate the subject of the selection; and the student is strongly urged to read carefully the passage referred to, before beginning the Greek text. For this purpose Grote and Curtius are particularly recommended. In many cases it will be necessary to enlarge the portions referred to, both at the beginning and the end, in order to get an intelligent sense of the whole situation; though this will be less often true of Grote than of the others. While frequent references have been given to the grammars of Goodwin and Hadley, and to Goodwin's Greek Moods and Tenses, the notes themselves will in most cases be found to state briefly the principle referred to; but the student should not for that reason fail to look up the references, particularly to the Moods and Tenses, which by its copious examples and explana tions will often throw much light upon the difficulties of the text.
