 At a time when the usefulness of all Verse Com- 
 position is being so generally questioned, and 
 schoolboys are beginning to speculate upon the 
 possibility of passing through a University career 
 without any knowledge of Greek, it may be con- 
 sidered a lost labour to compile an Exercise Book 
 for instruction in Greek Iambics. But as long as 
 the works of the Greek Tragedians live, we must 
 hope that some desire will survive of becoming 
 familiar with the language in which they wrote 
 and the metre in which the thoughts and actions 
 which they presented to their Athenian audience 
 were arranged: and this familiarity cannot be 
 attained without actually handling and modelling 
 the material to which they gave such perfection 
 of form and such vigour of life. The discipline 
 by which this study is to be matured must be at 
 first more or less mechanical, and the student 
 must accustom himself to the manipulation of 
 words and phrases into the requisite shapeliness

 of metrical form and rhythmical balance, before 
 he can indulge in any higher aspiration after the 
 ideal of poetic art. Therefore the Exercises in 
 this book are intended to help him in learning 
 this manipulation ; and by the dissection of pieces 
 already translated by scholars of eminence, to 
 show the process by which the results have been 
 attained. 
 
 It is undoubtcoij a very difficult thing to find 
 the particular Greek word or phrase by which 
 some one eL^e has intended the English which he 
 considers its equivalent to be rendered : perhaps 
 there is l)ut one thing more difficult, and that is 
 to hit upon the particular English word or phrase 
 which is most likely to be rendered by the Greek 
 which will suit the occasion. The art of com- 
 posing Greek Verse, however, is more teachable, 
 I l>elieve, tlmn that of composini^- I^atin; and 
 therefore I have more hope of the possible success 
 of this book. It is true that no gocxl English- 
 Greek Lexicon exists: but the struggling com- 
 poser will be all the more benefits by the 
 additional trouble involved in first forcing his 
 memory to produce some word, and then investi- 
 gating its fitness in a Greek-English Lexicon. A 
 Gradus, in Greek Composition, is not needed, as

 there are few, if any, words in which the quantity 
 of any syllable is not after a very brief experience 
 manifest to one who thoroughly learns a few 
 simple rules such as will be set forth in the Intro- 
 ductory Remarks to these Exercises. 
 
 It only remains for me to express my grati- 
 tude to the Rev. F. St. John Thackeray and J. E. 
 Sandys, Esq., for some translations of theirs which 
 they have allowed me to use ; and especially to 
 the Rev. H. A. Holden for the numerous extracts 
 which by his favour I have made from his ' Folia 
 Silvulae;' and to apologise to them for having 
 mutilated these pieces past recognition, in the 
 faint hope that they may recover some slight 
 resemblance to their originally elegant form.

 GEEEK IAMBIC VEESE 
 
 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 
 
 It is presumed that the student of Greek Verse Com- 
 position who iLses tliis book will be ah-eady familiar 
 with the ordinary rules for the Rhythm and Csesuras 
 of the Tmgic Trimeter Iambic, and have had some 
 practice in applying them. A few remarks on Pro- 
 sody and Language, however, may still be requisite,- 
 or at least not supei^uous. 
 
 I. Quantity of Vowels. - 
 
 1. € and before single consonants ai*e, of course, 
 always short. 
 
 2. ij and ui ai'e always long. 
 
 3. Diphthongs are always long, except oi in the 
 
 words oToC, TOLOVTO^, TOlOfT^ty TTOIW, 
 
 4. a, «, V, before single consonants are more fre- 
 - juently short than long, except where a is the result 
 
 . of a contraction or crasis, or follows p ; or where v is 
 in the penultimate syllable of the futui*e or fii-st aorist 
 of a verb with a vowel stem. But, as no general

 2 EXERCISES IN THE COMPOSITION OP 
 
 mles can be framecl for these vowels, their quantity in 
 different words must be ascertained by experience. 
 Befoi-e vowels, they are sometimes long; e.g. a in such 
 words as tcdu) and vXaw (which ai-e Attic forms of »:a/<ii 
 and K\ai(it) — i in Uwfiai and its derivatives, and in 
 aWa, ai\-m, icoWa, IrifJ^^ — ^ ^ ^^'^f ^^h ^"*^pwto». 
 
 5. All vowels are long before 
 
 (i.) A double consonant. 
 
 (ii.) Two liquid consonants. 
 
 (iii.) Two mute consonants. 
 
 (iv.) <T with any other consonant. 
 
 (v.) A liquid followed by a mute consonant. 
 
 (vi.) /3/i, flr, yii, y»', h; 
 
 6. A short vowel becomes common in the middle 
 of a word, before all other combinations of two conso- 
 nants in which a liquid follows a mute ; and is gene- 
 rally lengthened at the end of a word, when it is also 
 the end of a foot, and the following word begins with 
 /3X, y\, or p. 
 
 II. Elision. 
 
 1. Only short vowels can be elided. (There are, 
 however, two instances in Aiistophanes [^Nuhes, 780, 
 988] in which the diphthong at of the infinitive is 
 elided.) 
 
 2. V is never elided. 
 
 3. r is vei7 i-arely elided when it is the termination 
 of the dative singular ; and never when it is the ter- 
 mination of the dative plui-al, or of the nominative or 
 accusati'/e of a noun, or in the words r/, ore, irtpt. 
 
 4. The final syllable of oi/xoi is sometimes elided 
 before a;c> 
 
 GREEK IAMBIC VERSE. 3 
 
 III. Hiatus. 
 
 1. Vowels that cannot be elided must not be left 
 open at the end of a word before a vowel. 
 
 2. Exceptions to this rule ai'e r/, on, Trtpi, iZ, 
 
 IV. Crasis. 
 
 1. Koi, roi, and the definite article, are combined 
 with the initial vowels of succeeding words according 
 (in most instances) to the ordinary laws of contrac- 
 tion ; aiid the instances where they deviate from these 
 should be learned from a good Greek grammar. 
 
 2. iyijila for tyw ol^a, and fiovoTi for fiot ttrA, are 
 doubtful examples of crasis, of which the former 
 should probably be referred to Synecphonesis, and the 
 latter to Prodelision. 
 
 V. Synecphonesis. 
 
 1. A long vowel or diphthong at the end of a word 
 sometimes is combined with a succeeding vowel or 
 diphthong into one syllable without a formal crasis. 
 The principal instances are T/, /xj), kiru, iyw, before ov : 
 fii) and xpJ? before elcivai : iyw befoi*e el fit, 
 
 2. A rare instance, jjit) aCiKtivy occui'S in Eur. 
 Hipp, 997. 
 
 3. To this should also pi*obably be referred the 
 coalition lyio oJca. 
 
 VI. Prodelision. 
 
 1. A long vowel or diphthong at the end of a 
 word very frequently elides a succeeding short vowel. 
 
 2. The short vowel thus elided is, with very few 
 exceptions, the e of the syllabic augment, or of ei' or 
 ini and words compounded with them, or of zyw.

 4 EXERCISES IN THE COMPOSITION OF 
 
 yil. Synizesis. 
 
 1. Two syllables in the same word are sometimes 
 combined without a formal contraction. 
 
 2. The mast common instiinces are genitives in no 
 and €0)Q : and all cases of Beoq, Less common are 
 genitives in viov and voiy, as ^Epiyvuv, ivoly; and ta, 
 as a\\* £0. 
 
 Language. 
 
 The dialect of the Greek Tragedians is the Middle 
 Attic ; so tliat in Greek Iambic composition the aug- 
 ment must not Ije omitted, except in long narrative 
 speeches which partake of an Epic chai-acter : all con- 
 tracteil forms of verbs must l^e ased : and frtr be pre- 
 ferred to TT. Some Ionic forms are generally admis- 
 sible, such as ii'ii'OQf ^ovvoQ, ovyofia, yovvara, ^ovply 
 fiiaaoQj Korii uviKa : and some Doric foims, as Kwayoq^ 
 iro^ayoc, Xo)(ayoc, orra^oc, ^npoVi iKaTi, Aflctva, Kapa- 
 vov : and in .^Eschylus the .^olic forms irelnpmoQy 
 
 Other notable j)eculiarities are rcr, frtpt (him, her, 
 or them); orov, orw, otolq (fi*om o<mc); ^laOa and t(f>7ja6a : 
 TrroXtc for noXig (when the preceding syllable i^ecjuires 
 lengthening); iffiiv and vfAiv (with final syllable short). 
 
 Syntax. 
 
 1. The imperative is used idiomatically in relative 
 clauses follo^^ng a question, as if attracted to the im- 
 perative which follows. Such questions are generally 
 introduced by ol<r0a, as oltrO* oZr o cpaaov^ Ilec, 225, 
 and oiaBa vvv fx fxoL yiviaOtOy I. T, 1204. 
 
 GREEK IAMBIC VERSE. 5 
 
 2. The infinitive is used — 
 
 (L) In prayei-s, with ellipse of toe, curt^ or tv- 
 
 (ii.) With the aii-icle to to express a consequence. 
 
 3. The aorist participle is used with i^u) as equiva- 
 lent to a perfect. 
 
 4. Cei-tain special phi-ases for the use of preposi- 
 tions should be remarked and remembered ; as, 
 
 (i.) afi(j)\^ iiQf U-j irpoQy with nouns used ad- 
 verbially ; e.g. ufi(fi rapl^ei, * in teiTor * ; 
 tia TuxovQ, * quickly ' ; ci opyrjcy Trpoc 
 opyt)p, 'angi-ily*; i^ Wov, 'equally'; it: 
 fiiag, TTpoQ i^iai'y * violently * ; irpoQ ii^ovijr, 
 
 * agreeably.* 
 
 (ii.) a' t^ppa^y cia ciKTjQ lii'ai riviy *to quarrel,* 
 
 * go to lilW.' 
 
 (iil) Ik, refen-ing to a change of condition ; as, 
 rv^Xoc Ik hcopKOTOQf * once clear-sighted, 
 now blind.' 
 (iv.) iTTL ^vpov, Itti (Tfiik'pdr fjoTT^c, * at a crisis.' 
 (v.) fTr' tlupyaafiirot^, * when the deed is done.' 
 
 5. A genitive of relation follows adjectives (gene- 
 rally verbal) compoiuided with a privative, where part 
 of such adjective is so connected with the following 
 genitive as to have the appeai'ance of governing it ; e.g. 
 
 iiiroirToc ofifiarioyy ' out of sight.' 
 aOiKTOQ TrolfivTjCy * untouched by the flock.' 
 aOiKTos ^vpov, * unshaven.' 
 afOeyKTOQ Xoyuty, * dumb of speech.* 
 AyevtFTOQ kacci/v, * without taste of woe.* 
 lixaXkoc uffiricioyy * without brass of shield.'

 u^o^TH-oc jcw<cv/i«rw>', * witliout clamoiu' of lamenta- 
 tion.* 
 
 6. Generally the Greek tragedians express them- 
 selves with great indulgence in Pleomusm and Peri- 
 phra-sis, and pile up cpithetvS and synonyms upon one 
 word or idea. * A brother,' e.g. is called Ivvai^ov 
 ofifia ahXipov : * a king * might be entitled KXeitov 
 irpoautTTov rvpavyiKov flr€/3cic : * a wall * is expanded into

 * known ' are also * not unknown,* and persons who 
 are * willing * are also * not unwilling * : and such 
 Pleonasms are elements of strength, where in T^tin 
 verse they would I'atlier bet my weakness.

 nearly all the words in the Exercises of this Part, will

 An index of words repi^senting leading idesis in 
 tragic poetry, furnished with phi*ases taken from 
 i^Cschylus, Sophocles, and Euiipides, will be found 
 foUo^ving the exercises. It is hoi>ed that this may be 
 of use as a vocabuLiry of combinations for some time 
 after these exercises have been done, and done with.

 Exercise 1 (a). 
 
 Two voices ai'e there : one is of the sea, 
 One of the mountains ; each a mighty voice : 
 In both from age to age thou didst rejoice, 
 They were thy chosen music, Liberty. 
 
 At the first survey of a passage of English poetry 
 which has to be rendered into Greek Iambic vei'se, we 
 natui'ally look for some words or phmses upon which 
 to build the framework of our translation. For these 
 we must di'aw upon our memory of Gi-eek dnimatists, 
 and select some expressions that will suit the English, 
 and guide us as to the arrangement of the lines. The 
 four lines which are here proposed for translation 
 present no very striking opportimities of this kind;

 observe that * each ' of two things is not e/caoroc, but

 Some such process as the above should be adopted 
 with all passages for translation.

 Make payment of the debt you owed her better 
 Than in youi* late i-eproofs, not of her, but 
 Those crimes that made hei- woi-thy of reproof. 
 The most remarkable point in which kings differ 
 From private men, is that they not alone 
 Stand bound to be in themselves innocent, 
 But that all such as are allied to them 
 In nearness or dependence, by their care 
 Should be free fi'om suspicion of all crime. 
 And you Imve reaped a double benefit 
 From tlus hist gi-eat act : first, in the restraint

 From othere of the like licentiousness : 
 Then, when 'tis known that your severity

 EDUCATIONAL BOOKS, 
 
 PUBLISHED BY 
 
 MACMILLAN AND CO., 
 
 BEDFORD STREET, STRAND, LONDON. 
 
 MACMILLAN'S CLASSICAL SERIES, for COLLEGES 
 and SCHOOLS, being select portions of Greek and Latin 
 authors, edited, with Introductions and Notes at the end, by 
 eminent scholars. The series is designed to supply first rate 
 text-books for the higher forms of Schools, having in view 
 also the needs of Candidates for public examinations at the 
 Universities and elsewhere. With this object the editors 
 have endeavoured to make the books as complete as possible, 
 passing over no difficulties in the text, whether of construction 
 or of allusion, and adding such information on points of 
 Grammar and Philology as will lead students on in the 
 paths of sound scholarship. Due attention moreover is paid 
 to the different authors, in their relation to literature, and as 
 throwing light upon ancient history, with the view of en- 
 couraging not only an accurate examination of the letter, but 
 also a liberal and inteUigent study of the spirit of the masters 
 of Classical Literature. 
 
 The books are clearly printed in fcap. 8vo., and uniformly 
 bound in neat red cloth. 
 
 The following volumes are ready :—

 been too far from the pupil's eye to be of any practical use,

 NATURE: 
 
 AN ILLUSTRATED JOURNAL OF SCIENCE. 
 
 Nature expounds in a popular and yet authentic 
 manner, the Grand Results of Scientific Research 
 discussing the most recent scientific discoveries, and 
 pointing out the bearing of Science upon civilisation 
 and progress, and its claims to a more general recog- 
 nition, as well as to a higher place in the educational 
 system of the country. 
 
 It contains original articles on all subjects within the 
 domain of Science; Reviews setting forth the nature and 
 value of recent Scientific Works; Correspondence 
 Columns, forming a medium of Scientific discussion and 
 of intercommunication among the most distinguished 
 men of Science ; Serial Columns, giving the gist of the 
 most important papers appearing in Scientific Journals, 
 both Home and Foreign; Transactions of the prin- 
 cipal Scientific Societies and Academies of the World 
 Notes, &C. ' 
 
 In Schools where Science is included in the regular 
 course of studies, this paper will be most acceptable, as 
 It tells what is doing in Science all over the worid, is 
 popular without lowering the standard of Science, and by 
 It a vast amount of information is brought within a small 
 compass, and students are directed to the best sources 
 for what they need. The various questions connected 
 with Science teaching in schools are also fully discussed, 
 and the best methods of teaching are indicated
