The Relation Of Horace To Augustus, Harry Stanley Perla

Bachelors’ Theses

The topic of this thesis was selected after reading various criticisms of Augustus as written by authors of the last decade. Though not treated as comprehensively as other phases of Horace's life, this topic nevertheless is another method of studying and criticizing Horace. The relation of Horace to Augustus is illustrated in the very writings of Horace and therefore the topic has a close connection with the writings of the poet. Because of this connection, and because of its interest, this topic was chosen.

Ideas Of Mmortality Found In Roman Poets, Norma Lippert

Bachelors’ Theses

A discussion of Roman ideas on immortality is necessarily linked with a consideration of Greek thoughts on the subject. For, from as early as the second century before Christ, the Romans were influenced not only by Greek customs, but also by Greek philosophy. The introduction of certain philosophical ideas filled a real need in Roman life, since the Roman religion had hitherto, basically, been a worship of numina which protected the family and the State. After the Punic Wars, when Rome felt outside influences strongly, people required a more individual religion.

Comparison Of The Gods And Goddesses Of The Iliad And The Aenid, Viola G. Strunk

Bachelors’ Theses

Anyone who studies classical literature must have a knowledge of mythology. Without this it is almost impossible to read and understand the ancient Greek and Latin authors. Many books have been written on the mythology of the ancients, but in my research work I have never found one that has been entirely devoted to a comparison of the mythology of the Iliad and the Aeneid. It is to offset this that I have undertaken to write this thesis. To claim, though, that this is the only work of its kind would be presumptuous. In this thesis, I have used as …

Christian Spirit In Horace's Odes, Gertrude E. Stangler

Bachelors’ Theses

To point out the Christian spirit in Horace’s odes seems an almost impracticable, impossible problem upon first thought, For how can a person possess the spirit of a religion or system of philosophy of which there is no knowledge, in fact, whose very existence has not yet become a reality? Therein lies the problem! For, Horace was, as we know, a pagan--perhaps one of the most pagan writers of the ages and yet we say he possessed a Christian spirit. And so he did. But, is it necessary to adopt a certain religion or certain forms of worship in order …

Divine Justice In Aeschylean Tragedy, Anton C. Pegis

Bachelors’ Theses

Briefly, then, I intend to give an exposition of the seven extant plays from the point of view of the conflict between divine justice and moral freedom, with an attempt of reconstructing, in the light of criticism, the Aeschylean solution to the problems involved in the investigation. Maurice Croiset has said of Aeschylus that his dramas were revelations on the stage of the divine will; the Aeschylean meditative genius searched for causes, and thus each trilogy " divine l'expose dramatique d'une grande destinee, et, ainsi concue, elle eveilla desormais autant de peosee que d'emotion."

Cicero's Contribution To The Roman State, Robert Emmet Tehan

Bachelors’ Theses

No Roman, perhaps no historical personage, has been more extravagantly praised or more unjustly assailed and belittled than Cicero. The eulogies of Middleton and Trollope and the slanders of Drumann and Mommsen are equally unreasonable; but both the praise and the censure are testimony to Cicero's importance in his own day and to his position of influence in modern times. He was, as Ferrero says, in Roman history and in the history of that European civilization which began with Rome, the first statesman belonging to the intellectual class.

First Year Latin: Preparatory To Caesar, Charles E. Bennett

Books & Monographs

[From the Preface]

Most teachers will measure the value of a beginning book by the thoroughness with which it prepares for the work to be done in the second year. The work of second-year Latin in this country centres, as a rule, around the study of Caesar's Commentaries and the Latin Grammar. The present volume is intended to meet both these ends in the most successful way.
