Another Great Discovery Among the Pa
pyri From Egypt In the British Museum.
The British museum has once again the
satisfaction Of announcing the recovery OF
one of tho lost classics. Previous discover
les of the same kind have given us back
authors from the later periods of Greek lit
erature--Hyperides, Herodas, Aristotle In
the present instance 10 Is one Of the great
lyric poets Of the earlier days, Bacchylides.
nephew of Simonides, the contemporary
and rival of Pindar, who Is thus, In part at
least, restored to us.
The manuscript containing these pre-
cious relics of ancient literature Is a papy-
rus ro-ently discovered In Egypt. So far
as the writing is concerned 10 Is In very
good condition, being handsomely written
i'm rather large uncial characters on papy.
rus Of fine quality, but unfortunately the
manuscript has suffered severely at the
hands OF its native discoverers and is torn
into many fragments. The date of the
manuscript is probably in the first century
before Christ IL will be the work Of much
time to bring the fragments into their
proper order, and even when this Is done
II Is almost certain that much will be seen
to have been lost, but with due allowance
for mutilation it remains true that a sub
stantial addition has been made to the OK
tant treasures Of Greek literature
Hitherto Bacchylides has been known
only through the references OF ancient writ
ers and n handful of quotations, the lon
gest being u graceful fragment,of l2 lines
In praise Of peace. The lyric poetry of early
Greece falls into two classes, which may
be distinguished as personal and festal. OF
the former, the main theme OF which is
love, with all the attendant joys and sor-
rows of the individual singer, the great
representative 4 Sappho, with Alc@us
and Anacreon IN her train. In the second
class the great name is Pipdar, but with
him the anclJnts classed two other poets,
Simonides ami Bacchylides. All wrote the
same kind Of poetry the common charac.
toristic Of which is that it celebrates some
occasion Of festvity or solemnity, such as
hymns of triumph, dirges for the dead,
chants 10 be accompanied by dances, and
especially poems In celebration Of victories
won at the great games OF Greece, the
Olympian, Pythian, Isthmian and Nencan
festivals. 1t Is too early as yet to say how
many poems are contained In the new
manuscript. but there would seem to be
parts, at least, OF some 10 or 90, varying
In length from IA to about goo lines.
Bacchylides was native OF the island
of Coos. The main period OF bis activity
belongs to the early part of the fifth CEN
tury before Christ He was thus contem-
porary of Pindar and Hschylus and saw,
like them, tho great days Of the making Of
Greece. BY many he was placed on the
same Lowell as Pindar. London Times.

fleeced by opticians in name only.
