HENRY JULIUS WETENHALL TILLYARD (1881–1968)

Agathocles (1908)

ℹ️ "THE subject of the present book, which was awarded the Prince Consort Prize in January 1908, was chosen by myself, and approved by the Electors. I have written throughout from the original authorities, but I have tried to make full use of modern writers, and to weigh the merits of their theories. On the critical side, Schubert's Geschichte des Agathokles has been most useful, as will be evident to anyone reading my first chapter. Among other writers, I have found Freeman and Holm, and, for Geography, Tissot, of great value. I saw most of the historical sites in Africa and Sicily in 1906. My views as to the battle of the Himeras were formed on the spot. All the illustrations but two are from my own photographs." (Preface)

Greek Literature (1914) ✓

📖 84 pages long.

ℹ️ The People’s Books No. 124.

ℹ️ "THE Greeks were the most intellectual people of the old world. They were explorers in every field of knowledge and art, where they showed in the highest degree the desire for truth and the love of the beautiful. Freedom of thought and deed seemed to them essential to happiness and self-development ; while a sense of fitness and dislike of excess saved them, as a rule, from wildness of imagination or impropriety of action.

The study of Greek literature is therefore a proper element in a liberal education. The Greek language, naturally flexible and rich in poetical words, becomes in the hands of the great writers a medium of unequalled force, clearness, and adaptability, able to express as well the highest aspirations of the poet as the subtlest shades of philosophical argument or the most abstruse technicalities. The books of Greece have passed the critical selection of the ages, and the student, unencumbered by masses of inferior material, can approach the works of acknowledged masters, the true fountain-head of European culture."
