Excerpt from Callirrhoe: Fair RosamundBefore the bar of Time this poem pleads guilty to anachronism. The establishment in Greece of the worship of Dionysus reaches back into the dateless vistas of legend. The Author has so far defied Cronus, that he has represented this foreign, cult struggling for recognition in the midst of a refined and even sceptical Hellas. Mighty voices excuse him, which have pre vailed in silencing the accusations of old Time he is their client. Euripides puts the language of a sophist in the lips of pre - historic heroes. Virgil makes Eneas and Dido contemporaries.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
