GOLDEN AGES OF LITERATURE
X.-THE ATTIC FETUOD.
BY CHARLES FORSTER SMITH. TIL D.
The great creative period of epic poetry
was practically closed about S00 B. C.
With the development of Individuality new
Xorms of poetry were required. Out of the
epic hexameter Greek genius created In
the elegy an instrument not simply for

dialect and vocabulary of the epic In the
main, and changed the outward form only
by shortening ever' other line Into a prac-
tical pentameter. The next step was a
greater one. Iambic verse -was fashioned
into an Instrument of satire, and as the
verse departed more from the traditional
forms so the vocabulary became more llko
that of every-day life. The new form was
doubtless of more or less slow growth,
but the first great genlua io appropriate It
is reputed Its founder, and the Greeks,
grateful for this new literary achievement,
hailed Archilochus as a benefactor second
only to Homer. But there were other in
timate and powerful feelings of the heart
and soul still seeking literary expression,
and the Aeollans of the Island of Lesbos
created mellc, or song proper. In various
meters. Passion In all Its manifestations,
but especially love, was Its burden, and
Alcaeus, Sappho and Anacreon became Its
chief representatives.
So far two of the great branches of the
Greek race had been chiefly active In the
development of poetry the lonians In epic,
elegiac and Iambic poetry, the Aeollans In
lyric proper. The Dorians, too, were de
veloping a form of lyric suited especially
to the worship of the gods and to the cele
bration of athletic victories. These lyrics
were to be sung not by individuals but by
carefully trained choirs, either In proces
sion or wlh a dance accompaniment. Of
this Dorian choral lyric. Steslchorus and
Arion In earlier times. Slmonldes and Pin
dar in later, were the chief representa
tives. This growth of the new forms of
poetry had been coincident with the era
of colonization In Greece. In the eighth
century, B. C, the chief tribes sent colo
nies to all parts of the Mediterranean and
the adjacent coasts, and soon all the main
land on both sides of the Aegean, as well
as the islands, had Joined In the general
chorus of song.
The three chief tribes all bore their part
!n this lyric development, which lasted
some 250 years. But Athens, which was to
be the center of the golden age of Greek
literature, had, so far, taken a relatively
unimportant part In It. Even Sparta had
shown, during the seventh century, a re
markable tendency to foster lettere. This
enlightened policy, so at variance with her
usual attitude, was probably encouraged
by Delphi and though not herself pro
ductive In literary lines, Sparta became a
great center of talent from other Greek
states. Tyj-taeus, Terpander, Thaletas,
Alcman, Polymnestus and others, form a
remarkable group of poets and musicians,
who must eventually have revolutionized
Sparta's attitude toward letters if such en
lightened patronage had continued. But
Sparta's attitude changed completely,
doubtless because the authorities wished
definitely to stamp out a spirit so at vari
ance with the fundamental tenets of Spar
tan discipline, which taught that the citi
zen belonged to the stat, that obedience
was his first duty, to become a soldier the
object and end of his existence.
Sparta's renunciation of possible leader
ship In lptters left the way clear for Ath
ens, which had been 'the slowest of all
the grrit Greek states to come forward
and play her role In literature. No great
epic poet had been an Athenian, and in all
the lyric period only Scion had attained
first rank, and even he was far greater
doutbless as statesman and patron of let
ters than as poet. But now her time had
come. The expulsion of the tyrants In the
latter part of the sixth century, and more
especially the brilliant leadership of Ath
ens In reoelling the Persian invasions early
In the fifth century, turned all eyes upon
her. Tradition makes identical the birth
year of Themlstocles. the founder of Ath
onian naval greatness, and of Aeschylus
the father of the Athenian drama. Under
the one Athens was to become temporary
mistress of the eas: following the lines
marked out by the other she was to win
the hegemony, perhaps fcr all time. In let
ters and art. "With the return of peace
and with enormously Increased wealth and
power and influence. Athens set to work, I
under wIpc leaders, to make herself tho i
real capital of Greece. "WValthy public
men vied w!th the state In the encour
agement of art and letters. Not only wa
nath'e talent encouraced and rewarded.
but from all parts of tho Hellenic world !
men of genius were drawn to the Attic
capital by the stimulus which comes frm
contact with the best minds, and by the
rich pecuniary rewards and tlll richtw
compensation In fame which fell to ex
ceptional merit. It was not that Athens
struck out new linen In literature. There
was nothing distinctly new to be done.
Her task was to perfect In many lines the
beginnings that had already been made. II
she might be said to have created any
new form It would perhaps be the drama
but even here she rather borrowed and
perfected what the Dorians had invented.
The unique thing "was that whereas else
where princes had patronized art and let
ters, as In the case of Polycrates of
Samos the Aleuadae of Thessaly. HIero
in Sicily, and even at Athens the PIsls
tratldae, now a whole oeople at Athens
hecame encouragers and promoters of men
of genius. It may be doubted If great
talent has ever anywhere else found so
stlmulatlng'an atmesphro as that of the
Athenian demos In the fifth century. B. C.
The first great literary achievement of
Athens was the drama. The rule still held
that poetry developed before prcre. The
suitable medium, for the other great
branches of literary composition was still
to be perfected, since history, philosophy
and oratory could not b? adeauately ex
pressed, except In prose. The Ionian "lo
gographers," or narrators In prcse. had
made beginnings in history, but these were
crude. Hecataeus of Miletus and Hellani-
cus of MItylcne were clearly as Inferior to
Herodotus In their conception of history
as In the styio they commanded. The
"father of history" belongs entlrelv to the
fifth century, ar.d. thot-gh from Hallcar
nassus In Asia Minor and ulng the Ionian
dialect, owed much to Athenian influence.
At any rate, it was Herodo'.u who fash
ioned history Into a new artistic form, and
the Ionic dialect which he ueed waa doubt
less not quite the same as that spoken
anywhere but fr.shloned for his purpose
Into a distinctly literary form. His style
was called bj the Greek critics the run
ning style where the separate parts or
limbs are, as it were, disjointed as op
posed to the perldlc. In which the sub
ordinate clauses are grouped Into more
compreherfive periods of just length ana
proportions. But his Is the perfection of
a narrative style, and It was a story or
stories thrt Herodotus had to tell. First
of rll. the general ubjeet was the most
thrilling story of Greek antiquity, the at
tempt of the Eastern world to overwhelm
the Western, when Greek l'berty, political
Institutions, literature and art were all
at stake. The proper telling or this great
story Involved a clear exposition not only
of what Greece was and stood for, but of
the character and motives of her assailant
And properly to describe Persia It wa-i
nocessarj to trace the previous history ol
that great world power. And so Hero
dotus' narrative became really a history
of the world as the Greeks knew It. for
the history of the Persians led back Into
that of Medes: the contact of the Median
Empire with Egypt made necessary a full

must have felt that the narration was ade
quate. The whole remains perhaps the
most Interesting history in any literature.
The next great historian was an Athe
Ian of the Athenians. Born about 471,
Thucydldes was In his prime when the
great conflict broke out between the two
foremost states of Greece. He was a pub
lic man of great wealth, an aristocrat, and,
nnnna ti, tv, .rnnr r tno Wn nf ,
Marathon, had had the best training that I
Athens at hergreatestperiod could furnish. ;
He belonged to the best circles at Athens
-subtle.. to that of the great Pericles
himself. Ho had foreseen from the begin
ning the significance of this great struggle,
and he spent 20 years In collecting the
material for its history. His conception
of history was. In many respects, different
from that of Herodotus. Perhaps he had
the other in mind -when he wrote: "Very
likely the strictly historical character of
my narrative may be disappointing.
But i
If he who desires to have before his eyes '
a true picture of the events which have
happened, and of the like events wileh
may be expected to happen hereafter in
the order of human things, shall pro
nounce what I have written to be useful,
then I shall be satisfied. My history Is
an everlasting possession, not a prize com
position which Is heard and forgotten."
He regarded the great struggle between
Athens and Snarta. which lasted 27 years
(431-404). "tho greatest ever known" down
to thnt time, and he considered It his duty i
not simply to narrate the events of the
war. but to set forth the causes which led
up to these, and so he became the first
philosophic historian. He died before his
great work was completed, leaving his ac
count broken off at 411 B. C; but even
thus some of the chief of succeeding his
torians have pronounced him the greatest
historian of the world. Th Earl of Chat
ham called the work "the eternal manual
of statesmen." and directed that it should
be the first book wh'ch his son, William
Pitt, should reid after entering the uni
versity. Macaulay put the seventh book
above even the "De Corona" of Demos
thenes, as the "ne plus ultra of human
composition," and Pericles' great funeral
oration. In book 2. may well be ex
pected to keep Its rank as one of the great
est oratorical compositions In all litera
ture. One passage of this oration may
properly be quoted here, as setting forth.
In the words of h'm who did most to create
the Athens of the fifth century, the spirit
that animated the citv and people of Ath
ens at the acme of the Attic period: "I
say that Athens is the school of Hellas,
anil that the Individual Athenian, In his
own person, seems to have the oower of
adapting himself to the most varied form"
of action with the utmost versatility and
grace. This Is no passing and Idle word,
but truth and fact; and the assertion Is
verified by the p-sltion to which these
qualities have raised the state. For, in tho
hour of trial. Athens alone among her
contemporarie-3 Is suDCr-'or to the report
of her. No enemy who comes azninst her
is Indignant nt the reverses which he sus
tains at the hands of Fuch a city; no sub
ject complains that his masiers are un
worthy of him. And we shall assuredly
not be wlthoi't witnesses: there are
mighty monuments of our power which
will make us the wonder of this nnd of
succeeding ages. We phall not need the
praises of Homer, or of any other pane
gyrist whose poetry may please for tho
moment, although his representation of
the facts will not bear the light of day.
For wo have compelled every land and
every seat to open a path for cur valor,
and have everywhere planted eternal
memorials of our friendship and of our
enmity."
' Thucydldes' history was completed by
I Xenophon In hl Hellenics: but Xencphon,
however delightful his account of the ex
pedition of the 10.000 with Cyrus the
younger, and however interesting his
semi-historical romance of Cyrus the eld
er, was no historian. He wns a great
writer, but not the legitimate successor of
Herodotus and Thucydldes. The works of
int.r ,rcic f ft, rinA ,.-
later historians of this period, such as
Ephorus and Thcopompua, have been lost.
Far more than the beginnings of phllo-
t sophy had been made before the Attic pe
riod, especially amene the Ion'ans. Prose
J had been used hy Pherecydes of Syrcs.
Anaxlmander ar.d Anaximenes of Miletus.
I Heraclltus of Ephesiw and others, but
i Ionic prose was not yet an adequate ve
t hide for philosophy. Xenophanes of Colo
I phon, Parmcnldes of Elea and Empedocles
of Agrlgentum chose verse as the medium
; of their philosophy, but the true form for
! philosophy Is not verse, but prose. The
great work was to be done here, too, by
the Athenians. The greatest Impulse was
given to the study cf philosophy by So
crates, who was exactly contemporary
with Thucydldes. But he left nothing In
writing, and his young oisclple, Plato, be
came the great exponent of hia doctrines.
But this subject belongs to a separates
study, as docs also the account of Athe
nian oratory, which had in the fifth cen
tury, perhaps, its greatest representative
In Pericles, who left nothing In writing
and In Antlphon, from which 15 speeches
are extant.
To sum up. then: After the drama, ar
tistic prose was the great contribution of
the Attic period to the forms of literature.
The medium wh!ch It thus created is, per
haps, still unexcelled, os found In the per
fected parts of Thucydldes, In the princi
pal " dialogues of Plato, In the chief
speeches of Demosthenes. The clearness
of perception and the native intellectual
vigor of the Athenians, as well as the
natural excellence of the Attic dialect,
fitted them cspec-'ally for the highest at
tainments In prose literature. But is
Greek poetry had been o33ent!ally oral
that is, composed to be recited or sung
rather than read so the excellences t of
the best prose literature were due,. In
large measure, to the same cauee.

P. Hosford said yesterday that, he hoped
to have his boat In the river by Saturday.
Work is progressing vapidly, with the
weather so favorable. The cabins are
being furnished up. Also the ways for
the launching are being prepared. This
Is the first steamer in which the timbers
exposed to the water were treated with
the new wood preservative. Captain Hos

pairing the hulls, where the timbers are
constantly rotting. The new steamer
will be called the Bonlta, after a steamer
that was formerly operated on the Colum

Ensllnh the Coming Lnnsoase.
PORTLAND, March 17. (To the Editor.)
Civilization kills out Inferior dialects.
Just as the better breeding of horses elim
inates the cayuse. Therefore, the num
ber of tongues actually spoken is con
stantly decreasing, and the principle of
the survival of the fittest comes Into play
in the matter of languages with peculiar
force. For certain reasons, p. universal
language will some day be spoken
throughout the world, and that language
will not be "Volapuk, but English. The
British Empire extends now over an area
of 5,000,000 square miles, with a popula
tion of, cay, 350.000,000; while the United
States, whose people speak the same lan
guage, have an area of 3.000.COO square
miles, exclusive of our newly acquired ter
ritory, with a population of 75,000,000. This
makes an English-speaking people of
nearly one-quarter of the human race,
ensconced In every part of the Inhabitable
globe. Those who speak English manu
facture not Christmas toys and firecrack
ers, but the Indispensable articles that the
rest of the world must have, and send
them in their own ships to their destina
tion. And. more than all. the English
speaking people have a civil and political
constitution which has grown up out of
the experiences and wants of her own
progressive citizens, making It the best
adapted to the actual needs of mankind.
Of the languages. Greek, Latin, Arabic,
French, German and Spanish have either
practically perished or dwindled down to
a small use, comparatively, while In no
spot on earth are English-speaking people
giving up their own language for some
other, but the English uniformly displaces
every language with which it comes in
contact. English Is fast becoming the
business language of the world, the
Frenchman. German and what not being
forced, even at home, to say wagon,
ticket, tramway, telegraph, telephone and
other modern commercial words for which
they have no synonym.
At the beginning of this century French
was the court language of Europe, and
spoken by about 25,000.000 people. Today
It Is the vernacular of a very limited area
Indeed. The German In 1S00 was spoken
by about 25.O00.CO0, and today has spread
but little beyond what it was then, while
the Spanish is worse off yet. English at
that time was the language, all told, of
about 12.000,000. while today it is used by
not less than 318.29S.0C0. These people own
more than two-thirds of the tonnage, they
live in all regions and all climes; they
manufacture and transport the Indispensa
ble articles of trade, and produce more
than one-half the world's gold, and dis
tribute the bulk of the Bibles, Testa
ments and other valuable works of litera
ture. More than one-half of the letters
written, mailed and read are In the Eng
lish language.
The English-speaking people are tne
great colonizers of modern times; they
have taken possession of America. India,
Australia. Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Philip
pines and South Africa. In politics and
progress It seems as If Divine Providence
is bidding the Englishman and Amer
ican take possession of His heritage, and
becomo the teacher of the world; and It
would be as easy to put a chicken back
Into its shell after It is hatched as to
stop this onward march. C. E. CLINE.

breathe and n good night's rest wan something
I knew nothing of. 1 finally reported to so
called patent remedies, but fjot nothing: in
shape of relief. Finally I heard ot Dr. Slocum's
famous discoveries and sent for a full course ot
free treatment. My deur rir, the effect was
magical. In two days I felt decidedly better,
and In two weki" I knew I -waa on the road
to recoven. Now, after a few months con
tinuance of the tratm?nt, I am entirely cared.
Hefcr to me any time."
