# The House of Atreus/Preface
## Introduction by Morshead

Of the life of Aeschylus, the first of the three great masters of Greek tragedy, only a very meager outline has come down to us. He was born at Eleusis, near Athens, B. C. 525, the son of Euphorion. Before he was twenty-five he began to compete for the tragic prize, but did not win a victory for twelve years. He spent two periods of years in Sicily, where he died in 456, killed, it is said, by a tortoise which an eagle dropped on his head. Though a professional writer, he did his share of fighting for his country, and is reported to have taken part in the battles of Marathon, Salamis, and Plataea.
Of the seventy or eighty plays which he is said to have written, only seven survive: "The Persians," dealing with the defeat of Xerxes at Salamis; "The Seven against Thebes," part of a tetralogy on the legend of Thebes; "The Suppliants," on the daughters of Danaüs; "Prometheus Bound," part of a trilogy, of which the first part was probably "Prometheus, the Fire-bringer," and the last, "Prometheus Unbound"; and the "Oresteia," the only example of a complete Greek tragic trilogy which has come down to us, consisting of "Agamemnon," "Choephorae" (The Libation-Bearers), and the "Eumenides" (Furies).
The importance of Aeschylus in the development of the drama is immense. Before him tragedy had consisted of the chorus and one actor; and by introducing a second actor, expanding the dramatic dialogue thus made possible, and reducing the lyrical parts, he practically created Greek tragedy as we understand it. Like other writers of his time, he acted in his own plays, and trained the chorus in their dances and songs; and he did much to give impressiveness to the performances by his development of the accessories of scene and costume on the stage. Of the four plays here reproduced, "Prometheus Bound" holds an exceptional place in the literature of the world. (As conceived by Aeschylus, Prometheus is the champion of man against the oppression of Zeus; and the argument of the drama has a certain correspondence to the problem of the Book of Job.) The Oresteian trilogy on "The House of Atreus" is one of the supreme productions of all literature. It deals with the two great themes of the retribution of crime and the inheritance of evil; and here again a parallel may be found between the assertions of the justice of God by Aeschylus and by the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel. Both contend against the popular idea that the fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge; both maintain that the soul that sinneth, it shall die. The nobility of thought and the majesty of style with which these ideas are set forth give this triple drama its place at the head of the literary masterpieces of the antique world.
# The House of Atreus

The House of Atreus is a translation of The Oresteia, a trilogy of Greek tragedies written by Aeschylus, which concerns the end of the curse on the House of Atreus. It is the only surviving example of a trilogy of ancient Greek plays. The Oresteia was originally performed at the Dionysia festival in Athens in 458 BCE, although the original performance was followed by a satyr-play, Proteus, which has not survived.

# The Geologist/Volume 5/Notes and Queries, Turtle Remains in the Upper Greensand

​ Turtle Remains in the Upper Greensand.—The phosphatic nodules of the Upper Greensand of Cambridge are well known to geologists from their extensive commercial use in the manufacture of super-phosphate of lime for agricultural purposes. The nodules have been secreted in or around various organic remains, many of which, such as the bones, were often, probably, broken up before the concretion of the phosphatic matter ​around them, and both they, and the nodules subsequently, have apparently been not uncommonly subjected to a considerable amount of rolling and degradation. Numerous kinds of shells are common in these nodules, as are bones of pterodactyles and other reptiles. Our attention has lately been drawn to very numerous fragmentary remains of turtles, consisting chiefly of the crania and lower jaws, with numerous fragments of the carapace, ribs, and many vertebræ. The predominance of the skulls and lower jaws in the collection we refer to, which was made by Mr. Farren, of Cam- bridge, and has just been purchased by Mr. Gregory, is probably the mere accidental result of the collecting of what might be deemed saleable specimens, or that these portions being the most readily recognized, attracted attention, while the other fragments of the limbs and body, more obscure in their aspect, were left in nodule-heaps. Professor Owen has made out distinctly, not less than four species, namely,—Chelone sulcimentum, C. altimentum, C. uncimentum, and C. depressimentum. But the point to which we want to draw attention is, the district and the land-shores on which these turtles lived. The Upper Greensand is a marine deposit, and the beds at Cambridge seem closely allied to the grey chalk, especially as that member of the cretaceous group appears developed in Kent and Sussex, and therefore should have been formed under some considerable depth of water.
Now all the Cheloniæ are of littoral habits, and as these greensand-nodules, like the phosphate-nodules from the Gault and Lower Greensand, and all the other deposits from which we have seen them, frequently have oyster and other shells attached to them, it would seem that they had been brought to a hardened state before they were imbedded in the strata where we now find them. We ought therefore to look to some of the older formations as the land whose coasts they inhabited.
The turtles of the Wealden have never been properly collected, and it is with a view to inducing some one to take up the search for them and their comparison with these Upper Greensand fragments, that we have published this note; for to the Wealden lands a priori, it is that we should be inclined to turn for the shores on which these ancient turtles lived, and from which their concreted remains were probably washed down by the tides and currents into the lower depths of the Wealden sea, where some portions of the Upper Greensand were contemporaneously being deposited.

# The Instinct of Hope

John Clare; Arthur Symons (1908). Poem by John Clare. Henry Frowde, London. pp. 151–.
Is there another world for this frail dust To warm with life and be itself again? Something about me daily speaks there must, And why should instinct nourish hopes in vain? 'Tis nature's prophesy that such will be, And everything seems struggling to explain The close sealed volume of its mystery. Time wandering onward keeps its usual pace As seeming anxious of eternity, To meet that calm and find a resting place. E'en the small violet feels a future power And waits each year renewing blooms to bring, And surely man is no inferior flower To die unworthy of a second spring?

# The Instructor/Advice to Servants

Advice to Servants.
INDULGE not unseemly things in thy master's children, nor refuse them what is fitting; for one is the highest unfaithfulness, and the other indiscretion as well as disrespect.
Do thine own work honestly and cheerfully; and when that is done help thy fellow, that so another time he may help thee.
If thou wilt be a good servant thou must be true; and thou canst not be true if thou defraudest thy master.
A master may be defrauded many ways by a servant, as in time, care, pains, money, trust.
He who neglects his work robes his master; since he is fed and paid as if he did his best: and he who is not as diligent in the absence, in the presence of his master, cannot be a true servant.
​Nor is he a true servant, who buys dear to share in the profit with the seller.
Nor yet he who tells tales without doors, or deals basely in his master's name with other people, or connives at others loiterings, wastings, or dishonourable reflections.
But a true servant is the contrary of all this: he is diligent, careful, trusty. He tells no tales, he reveals no secrets, refuses no pains, is not to be tempted by gain, or awed by fear, to unfaithfulness. Such a servant deserves well, and, if modest under his merit, should be liberally rewarded.
Such a servant serves God in serving his master, and may expect double wages for his work here and hereafter.
# The Golden Threshold/Poems/The Queen's Rival

THE QUEEN'S RIVAL
I
Queen Gulnaar sat on her ivory bed, Around her countless treasures were spread;
Her chamber walls were richly inlaid With agate, porphory, onyx and jade;
The tissues that veiled her delicate breast, Glowed with the hues of a lapwing's crest;
But still she gazed in her mirror and sighed: "O King, my heart is unsatisfied."
King Feroz bent from his ebony seat: "Is thy least desire unfulfilled, O Sweet?
​"Let thy mouth speak and my life be spent To clear the sky of thy discontent."
"I tire of my beauty, I tire of this Empty splendour and shadowless bliss;
"With none to envy and none gainsay, No savour or salt hath my dream or day."
Queen Gulnaar sighed like a murmuring rose "Give me a rival, O King Feroz."
II
King Feroz spoke to his Chief Vizier: "Lo! ere to-morrow's dawn be here,
"Send forth my messengers over the sea, To seek seven beautiful brides for me;
"Radiant of feature and regal of mien, Seven handmaids meet for the Persian Queen."
​Seven new moon tides at the Vesper call, King Feroz led to Queen Gulnaar's hall
A young queen eyed like the morning star: "I bring thee a rival, O Queen Gulnaar."
But still she gazed in her mirror and sighed: "O King, my heart is unsatisfied."
Seven queens shone round her ivory bed, Like seven soft gems on a silken thread.
Like seven fair lamps in a royal tower, Like seven bright petals of Beauty's flower.
Queen Gulnaar sighed like a murmuring rose: "Where is my rival, O King Feroz?"
III
When spring winds wakened the mountain floods, And kindled the flame of the tulip buds,
​When bees grew loud and the days grew long, And the peach groves thrilled to the oriole's song,
Queen Gulnaar sat on her ivory bed, Decking with jewels her exquisite head;
And still she gazed in her mirror and sighed: "O King, my heart is unsatisfied."
Queen Gulnaar's daughter two spring times old, In blue robes bordered with tassels of gold,
Ran to her knee like a wildwood fay, And plucked from her hand the mirror away.
Quickly she set on her own light curls Her mother's fillet with fringes of pearls;
Quickly she turned with a child's caprice And pressed on the mirror a swift, glad kiss.
​Queen Gulnaar laughed like a tremulous rose: "Here is my rival, O King Feroz."
# The Golden Threshold/Poems/Ode to H.H. the Nizam of Hyderabad

ODE TO H.H. THE NIZAM OF HYDERABAD
(Presented at the Ramzan Durbar)
Deign, Prince, my tribute to receive, This lyric offering to your name, Who round your jewelled sceptre bind The lilies of a poet's fame; Beneath whose sway concordant dwell The peoples whom your laws embrace, In brotherhood of diverse creeds, And harmony of diverse race:
The votaries of the Prophet's faith, Of whom you are the crown and chief; And they, who bear on Vedic brows Their mystic symbols of belief; ​And they, who worshipping the sun, Fled o'er the old Iranian sea; And they, who bow to Him who trod The midnight waves of Galilee.
Sweet, sumptuous fables of Baghdad The splendours of your court recall, The torches of a Thousand Nights Blaze through a single festival; And Saki-singers down the streets, Pour for us, in a stream divine, From goblets of your love-ghazals The rapture of your Sufi wine.
Prince, where your radiant cities smile^ Grim hills their sombre vigils keep, Your ancient forests hoard and hold The legends of their centuried sleep; Your birds of peace white-pinioned float O'er ruined fort and storied plain, Your faithful stewards sleepless guard The harvests of your gold and grain.
​God give you joy, God give you grace To shield the truth and smite the wrong, To honour Virtue, Valour, Worth. To cherish faith and foster song. So may the lustre of your days Outshine the deeds Firdusi sung, Your name within a nation's prayer, Your music on a nation's tongue.
