Abstract

Curtius's History of Greece
November 19, 1874 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on Ernst Curtius' "History of Greece." It is natural in taking up this new history of Greece, the English translation of which is now complete in five volumes, to compare it in general with the last great work in the same field. The account in the same chapter of the life and character of Socrates suggests comparison with author George Grote's famous chapter, but does not bear it so well as other parts of the history. The analysis of the teaching of Socrates, and of the relation to him of Xenophon and Plato, is less thoroughly and less clearly given by Curtius.
