2. MODERN WORKS
These are very numerous; but the most comprehensive is Lorenz
Grasberger's _Erziehung und Unterricht im klassischen Alterthum, mit
besonderer Rucksicht auf die Bedurfnisse der Gegenwart_, Wurzburg,
1864-81, 3 vols. The first volume deals with the physical training of
boys, the second with their intellectual training, and the third with
the education imparted by the State to young men (? ? ? ? ? ? ). A volume of
plates is promised. The work is badly constructed, but is a mine of
information and of references.
Along with this may be named O. H. Jager, _Die Gymnastik der Hellenen, in
ihrem Einfluss auf's gesammte Alterthum und ihrer Bedeutung fur die
deutsche Gegenwart_, Esslingen, 1850; Fournier, _Sur l'Education et
l'Instruction Publiques chez les Grecs_, Berlin, 1833; Becq de
Fouquiere, _Les Jeux des Anciens_, Paris, 1869; De Pauw, _Recherches
Philosophiques sur les Grecs_; Fr. Jacobs, _Ueber die Erziehung der
Hellenen zur Sittlichkeit_, Vermischte Schr. Pt. III. ; Albert Dumont,
_Essai sur l'Ephebie Attique_, Paris, 1876-6; Dittenberger, _De Ephebis
Atticis_; Chr. Petersen, _Das Gymnasium der Griechen nach seiner
baulichen Einrichtung beschrieben_, Hamburg, 1858; Alexander Kapp,
_Platon's Erziehungslehre_, Minden, 1833, and _Aristotle's
Staatspaedagogik_, Hamm, 1837; J. H. Krause, _Geschichte der Erziehung des
Unterrichts und der Bildung bei den Griechen, Etruskern und Romern_,
Halle, 1851.
Chapters on Greek Education may be found in W. A. Becker's _Charicles_
and _Gallus_; in Guhl and Koner's _Life of the Greeks and Romans_--all
three translated into English. In _Hellenica_ is an essay, by R. S.
Nettleship, on the _Theory of Education in the Republic of Plato_,
Rivington, 1880, and in Edwin Hatch's _Influence of Greek Ideas upon the
Christian Church_ (Hibbert Lectures) is a chapter on Greek Education
(Lecture II).
FOOTNOTES:
[1] It is worth while to note that it was a passage from Philolaus that
suggested to Copernicus the revolution of the earth round a centre.
[2] This is represented in the charming Apoxyomenos of the Vatican.
[3] So says Aristotle, who tells us further that in his time on this
occasion they were presented with spear and shield _by the people_ (see
p. 97).
[4] I am here using the terms "objective" and "subjective" in their
modern acceptation, which almost exactly inverts the ancient usage. See
Martineau, _Study of Religion_, vol. i, p. 385, n. 2.
[5] Like "Peter Piper," etc. , and the German "Messwechsel Wachsmaske. "
[6] It must be borne in mind that the Greek ? ? ? ? ? , art, corresponds
almost exactly to what we mean by "science. " It is defined by Aristotle,
_Metaph. _, A. 1; 981 a 5 sqq. Schwegler, in his translation of the
_Metaphysics_, renders it by _Wissenschaft_. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? is our
"philosophy. "
[7] See Jebb, _Homer_, pp. 110 sqq.
[8] It is a pity that we cannot fix the date of the so-called _Picture_
of Cebes (? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ). In this we find enumerated the votaries of
False Learning, (1) Poets, (2) Rhetoricians, (3) Dialecticians, (4)
Musicians, (5) Arithmeticians, (6) Geometricians, (7) Astrologers (if we
count Poets = Grammarians, we have exactly the Seven Liberal Arts), (8)
Hedonists, (9) Peripatetics, (10) Critics, "and such others as are like
to these. " The "Hedonists" (? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ) are the Cyrenaics; the "Critics"
(? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ) can hardly be the grammarians, though that is usually the
meaning of the term in later times. Should we not read ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
[9] "Liberal" means fit, "illiberal" unfit, for freemen. The sum of the
liberal arts was called ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? , which we have corrupted into
_Encyclopaedia_.
[10] Bonn, 1845.
[11] See Boissier, _Etude sur la Vie et les Ouvrages de M. T. Varron_,
pp. 332, sqq.
[12] See Bekker's _Anecdota Graeca_, ii. , 655.
[13] I am indebted for a number of these facts to an article by
Professor A. F. West, in the _Princeton College Bulletin_, November,
1890.
[14] These terms, which we still find in Isidore and Hrabanus Maurus,
are afterwards, in the thirteenth century, replaced by their Latin
equivalents: Natural, Rational, and Moral. In the case of the second,
this caused considerable confusion, inasmuch as when it ceased to be
used as "rational," it took the place of "dialectic. "
[15] In the XXVIIIth Canto of the Paradise, these angelic powers are
arranged somewhat differently, in deference to Dionysius Areopagita and
St. Bernard.
