Melpomene -- II. Murena -- III. The Historical Poems and the Arrangement of The Three Books -- IV. Lamia -- V. Quam Tibieris Lavit -- VI. Venus and Myrtale -- VII. Euterpe. - Preface: These Essays represent in a more formal shape so much as seemed worth publishing of a course of lectures delivered in Trinity College, Cambridge. The preparation for this course led me to give several months of study of the Odes: when I had finished I was tempted to push further, and finally resolved upon the present book. - Arthur Woollgar Verrall (5 February 1851, Brighton � 18 June 1912, Cambridge) was a British classics scholar associated with Trinity College, Cambridge, and the first occupant of the King Edward VII Chair of English. He was noted for his translations and for his challenging, unorthodox interpretations of the Greek dramatists, such as his commentary on Agamemnon; his detractors found his readings contorted and too ingenious, too often overlooking obvious explanations in favour of the convoluted, and his published work is nowadays not highly regarded. After his death, admirers M. A. Bayfield and J. D. Duff edited Verrall's Collected Literary Essays. Classical and Modern and Collected Essays in Greek and Latin Scholarship 1914. Among his publications, Euripides the Rationalist was highly influential. He was a member of the Cambridge Apostles, a secret society, from 1871.
