Book Description
Excerpt from A Critical History of Language and Literature of Ancient Greece, Vol. 3 Attention has already been directed in the pre vions book1 to the origin of lyric poetry, and to the causes which obtained for the Sister epic art, if not the palm of prior invention, a preference at least in respect to culture and preservation. It will now be proper to inquire into the circumstances to which, at a later epoch, the Lyric Muse was indebted, in her turn, for an equal share of honourable distinction.
