Description
Excerpt from Orpheus and Eurydice: A Grecian Tragedy; Plato's Version
It is not meters, but meter - making argument, that makes a poem. Emerson.
Being fully aware herein, of the height I have at tempted to climb, and emboldened by expressed Opinions of friends presumed to have competent knowledge of the subject, the following version of the poem Orpheus and Eurydice is submitted to the public with some confidence of their approval.
As the Olympic Games have been reproduced at Paris and will be again at Athens and other cities, it seems to prove a trend towards Greek thought in literature a revival of its drama and fable.
The Death of Orpheus, an epic poem. Was written by Homer about the year 900 B. C. Additions were made by Plato 400 B. C., and some supposed errors corrected by Aristotle at request of Alexander the Great, 330 B. C.
