	Early American Latin Verse Leo M. Kaiser During their first two centuries of colonial life, Americans produced a large and fascinating body of original Latin poetry. The poets included in this anthology are important in that they represent the continuity and vitality of the tradition of the study of Latin in the West as a major educational and cultural force. The book includes Latin text and notes.
	Traditional Themes and the Homeric Hymns Cora Angier Sowa The Homeric Hymns have long stood in the immense shadow of Homer and Hesiod. Yet, delightful in their own right, they are our source for several of the most interesting Greek myths including Demeter's search for Persephone, Hermes' invention of the lyre, and the birth of Apollo on Delos. The Hymns belong to the oral poetic tradition, exhibiting the characteristic formulae, type scenes, and the narrative themes that supply the plot structure. The themes, like the formulae, entirely pervade the poems; they are not limited to a few isolated instances, but are an entire system. The major themes treated here are, the Marriage of the Fertility Goddess, Seduction, Withdrawal, Rape, The Young God's Consolidation of His Power, Invention, The Journey, and Epiphany of a God. The themes consist of sets of elements that generally follow each other in the same order, though the words may differ from story to story. The themes are related to the great mythic archetypes identified by Jung, Rank, and others. Yet each theme appears fresh, new, and appropriate to any context in which it occurs. These fresh impressions arise from the blend of the elements of theme, the poet's vocabulary, word play and other repetitive patterns unique to the poem. The character of whom the story is told also affects the theme. In the tale of Demeter, an angry, vindictive goddess, the Marriage of the Fertility Goddess is cast in the form of a Withdrawal; but with Aphrodite as subject, the Marriage of the Fertility Goddess becomes a Seduction. The gods, too, are compounded of parts; characters are made up of characteristics, just as themes are made up of elements. The Homeric Hymns are a microcosm of the mythic world. Just as there is nothing in the expression of the poems that is not formulaic, so there seems to be nothing of their arrangement 'that is not thematic.
	Quintilian: Institutionis Oratoriae Liber X Sir William Peterson Book X of Quintilian’s Institutio Oratoria is the most accessible section of his remarkable treatise. Chapter I is a survey and critique on the evolution of Greek and Roman literature—poetry, history, oratory, and philosophy—that defends as the key to “How to acquire a command of diction.” This chapter can serve as an introduction to Greek literature for the “Greekless” student. Remaining chapters cover “Of Imitation,” “How to Write,” “Revision—its uses and limitations,” “What to Write,” “Of Meditation,” and “Of Extempore Speaking.” In short, it is a comprehensive manual, both of education in general as well as education of the orator in particular. Institutio Oratoria is a rare treat among rhetorical treatises: Sir William Peterson describes its style as “dignified and yet sweet.” During the Renaissance, after its rediscovery by Poggio, it won praise for Quintilian as one of the most important writers of classical antiquity. It continued to impress luminaries such as Luther, Erasmus, Milton, J. S. Mill, and Macaulay. More recently, in the third edition of The Oxford Classical Dictionary, Neil Hopkinson describes it as “a storehouse of sanity, humane scholarship and good sense.”
