章節(jié)摘錄

　　That is the quality that first strikes us in Greek literature, thelightning-quick, sneering, out-of-doors manner. It is apparent in themost august as well as in the most trivial places. Queens andPrincesses in this very tragedy by Sophocles stand at the doorbandying words like village women, with a tendency, as one mightexpect, to rejoice in language, to split phrases into slices, to be intenton verbal victory. The humour of the people was not good-natured likethat of our postmen and cab-drivers. The taunts of men lounging at thestreet corners had something cruel in them as well as witty. There is acruelty in Greek tragedy which is quite unlike our English brutality. Isnot Pentheus, for example, that highly respectable man, maderidiculous in the Bacchae before he is destroyed？ In fact, of course,these Queens and Princesses were out of doors, with the bees buzzingpast them, shadows crossing them, and the wind taking their draperies.They were speaking to an enormous audience rayed round them on oneof those brilliant southern days when the sun is so hot and yet the air soexciting. The poet, therefore, had to bethink him, not of some themewhich could be read for hours by people in privacy, but of somethingemphatic, familiar, brief, that would carry, instantly and directly, to anaudience of seventeen thousand people perhaps, with ears and eyeseager and attentive, with bodies whose muscles would grow stiff ifthey sat too long without diversion.
