It was through this tongue that such immortal - 22: 'Q poets as Homer, Hesiod, Euripides, and all the other 7 R aff' great men expressed themselves. Moreover the great- -wi, iii! if ' est pieces of literature are found in that language. Ji e N, Whenever men seek for literary models, they turn to the Greeks. if ff? fwg This is not a modern idea but a very ancient one. Thus we find Q gag 4 that Plautus, an early Roman dramatist, derived his material from Hellenic sources. Later on Virgil imitated Homer's Iliad for I, ' 9 f the production of his Aeneid. His contemporary, Horace, like- re 4' wise had a predilection for.Greek material. The whole of Horacefs '. fl works are overflowing with Hellenic influence. Men did this 5.35.3 31555: because of the wonderful facility and manner of expression f und 715' up '15 in Greek. Take, as an example, only a small section o the A 9, QTL: Fifteenth Idyll of Theocritus, the pastoral poet, and notice how , ,Q T sv picturesque, clear, direct and forceful he is. It is to learn how is-itgxkrg to express oneself so clearly, that men study the Greek masters. 'f 1 But poetry, though so fascinating and imaginative, was not the if ' only production of the Greeks. It is known that Cicero, to attain tw? i' 'yy oratorical prominence, assiduously studied the orators, especially V3 an Demosthenes. Nor are poetry and oratory all. Greek literature K' treats of a multitude of subjects. ' lt possesses an abundance of 'tl-'!,y .V 1 . literature on philosophy and politics furnished by Plato and .K Aristotle, history by Xenaphon, Thucydides and Herodotusg ,,. ig:.:.i +1 medicine by Hippocrates and Galeng mathematics by Euclid, 42? 5, ' . - .
