Bag om Dissertations Upon The Epistles Of Phalaris, Themistocles, Socrates, Euripides And Upon The Fables Of Aesop

""Dissertations Upon The Epistles Of Phalaris, Themistocles, Socrates, Euripides And Upon The Fables Of Aesop"" is a book written by Richard Bentley, a renowned English classical scholar and critic. The book is a collection of Bentley's critical essays on various ancient Greek literary works, including the epistles of Phalaris, Themistocles, and Socrates, as well as the plays of Euripides and the fables of Aesop.In his essays, Bentley examines these works in detail, offering his insights and analysis on their literary merit, historical context, and authenticity. He also engages in a critical dialogue with other scholars and critics of his time, challenging their interpretations and defending his own.The essays on the epistles of Phalaris and Themistocles are particularly notable, as they sparked a famous controversy known as the ""Phalaris controversy"" in the early 18th century. Bentley argued that these letters, which had been attributed to the ancient Greek tyrants, were in fact forgeries created centuries later. His arguments were met with fierce opposition, but eventually proved correct, and his work on the subject is still considered a landmark in the field of classical studies.Overall, ""Dissertations Upon The Epistles Of Phalaris, Themistocles, Socrates, Euripides And Upon The Fables Of Aesop"" is a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient Greek literature, offering a glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential classical scholars of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
