Hero, and Leander, a Poem. From the Greek of Musaeus

by Grammaticus Musaeus

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.

Terminado el poema narrativo «Hero y Leandro», pero no el de Marlowe, sino su antecesor, el de Museo, que lo compuso en el siglo V o VI DC en hexámetros dactílicos, con claras influencias del lenguaje de Homero. Es una belleza de poema! El canto del cisne de una civilización.

'De mensen hier zijn lastertongen: doe je iets in stilte, hoor je het op elke hoek vertellen. Vertel me wel je naam en stad, dat staat je vrij. Mijn naam is evenmin geheim, zelfs erg beroemd,
want ik ben Hero en die toren bij de branding
dat is het hemelhoge huis waarin ik woon (p.17)'.

En de rest is geschiedenis.
