A history of ancient Greek literature

. (page 30 of 31)

for the most part merely to interpret Plato, he is
probably the boldest thinker, and his philosophy the
most complete and comprehensive system, of Roman
times. His doctrine is an uncompromising idealism :
the world all comes from one Original Force, which
first differentiates itself into Mind, i.e. into the duality
of Thought and Being. Nature is the result of Thoughts
contemplating themselves, and the facts of nature, again,
are her self-contemplations. There is a religious ele-
ment in this system which was developed, first by the
master's biographer and editor. Porphyry, and then by
lamblichus, into what ultimately became a reasoned



THE END OF PHILOSOPHY 401

system of paganism intended to stand against the
polemics of the Christians.

It is usual to leave these last out of the accounts of
Greek literature. Their intimate dependence, indeed,
on ancient Greek speculation and habits of thought
is obvious upon the most casual reading. But the
connection, if treated at all, needs to be traced in
detail ; and there is a certain sense in which the death
and failure of the Emperor Julian marks an epoch,
amounting almost to the final extinction of ancient
cuhure and untheological ideals. The career of that
extraordinary man was well matched with a character
which would appear theatrical but for its almost excessive
frankness and sincerity, and which seems to typify the
ancient heroic spirit struggling helplessly in the toils of
the decadence. He seeks to be a philosopher, and ends in
mysticism. He champions enlightenment, and becomes
almost more superstitious than the fanatics with whom
he wars. He fires his soldiers and dependents with
the love of justice and temperance and strict discipline,
and then debauches them by continual sacrifices to the
gods. He preaches toleration on the house-tops, and
men answer him by a new persecution. The prince of
saintly life, who spends his nights in prayer and medi-
tation, who lives like a pauper because he has given
up all his privy purse to the relief of distress in the
provinces, and who seems to find his only real con-
solation in blindly following always the very highest
and noblest course abstractly possible, regardless of
practical considerations, is curiously near to some of
those wild Christian anchorites to whom he so strongly
objected. There was something very great and true



402 LITERATURE OF ANCIENT GREECE

which Julian was striving towards and imperfectly
grasping all through his life, which he might, in a
sense, have attained permanently in happier ages. He
was a great and humane general, an able and unselfish
statesman. But there is fever in his ideals ; there is a
horror of conscious weakness in his great attempts.
It is the feeling that besets all the Greek mind in its
decadence. Roman decadence tends to exaggeration,
vainglory, excess of ornament ; Greek decadence is
humble and weary. " / pray that I ma.y fulfil your
hopes," writes Julian to Themistius, ''but 1 fear I shall
fail. The promise you make about me to yourself and
others is too large. Long ago I had fancies of emulating
Alexander and Marcus and other great and good men ;
and a shrinkifig used to come over me and a strange dread
of knowing that I was utterly lacking in the courage of
the one, and could never even approach the perfect virtue
of the other. That was what induced me to be a student.
I thought with relief of the 'Attic Essays,' and thought it
right to go on repeating them to you my friends, as a man
with a heavy burden lightens his trouble by singing. And
now your letter has increased the old fear, and shown the
struggle to be much, much harder, when you talk to me of
the post to which God has called me."

One form of literature, indeed, contemporary with
Julian, and equally condemned by him and by his chief
opponents, shows a curious combination of decay and
new life, the Romance. The two earliest traces of prose
romance extant are epitomes. There is perhaps no spon-
taneous fiction in the Love Stories of Parthenius, an
Alexandrian who taught Vergil, and collected these myths
for the use of Roman poets who liked to introduce
mythical names without reading the original authorities.



THE ROMANCE 403

But the work may have looked different before it was
epitomised. There is real invention in the work of
one Antonius Diogenes about The Incredible Wonders
beyond Thule. He lived before Lucian, who parodies
him. The book was full of adventures, and included
a visit to the moon ; but, to judge from the epitome, it
repeated itself badly, and the characters seem to have
been mere puppets. One particular effect, the hero or
heroine or both being taken for ghosts, seems especially
to have fascinated the author. There is some skill in the
elaborate and indirect massing of the imaginary sources
from which the story is derived. Romance was popular
in the third century, which has left us the complete
story of Habrocomes and Antheia by Xenophon of
Ephesus. The two best Greek novelists are with little
doubt LONGUS and HeliodQrus : the former for mere
literary and poetic quality ; the latter for plot and
grouping and effective power of narrative. Helio-
dorus writes like the opener of a new movement. He
is healthy, exuberant, full of zest and self-confidence.
His novel is good reading even in our own age, which
has reached such exceptional skill in the technique of
novel-writing. You feel that he may well be, what as a
matter of fact he was, the forerunner of a long array of
notable writers, and one of the founders of an exception-
ally prolific and durable form of literature. It is said
that Heliodorus was a Christian and bishop of Salonica,
and that the synod of his province called upon him either
to burn his book or to resign his bishopric, whereupon
the good man did the latter. The story rests on weak
evidence, but it would be like the Heliodorus that we
know. Longus is very different — an unsanguine man
and a pagan. Not that his morals are low : it needs an



404 LITERATURE OF ANCIENT GREECE

unintelligent reader or a morbid translator to find harm
in his History of Daphnis and Chloe. But a feeling of
discouragement pervades all his work, a wish to shut
out the world, to shrink from ambitions and problems,
to live for innocent and unstrenuous things. He re-
minds one of a tired Theocritus writing in prose. Some
of the later novelists, like Achilles Tatius and Chariton,
wrote romances which, judged by vulgar standards,
will rank above that of Longus, They are stronger,
better constructed, more exciting ; some of them are
immoral. But there is no such poet as Longus among
them.

He is the last man, unless the present writer's know-
ledge is at fault, who lives for mere Beauty with the
old whole-hearted devotion, as Plotinus lived for specu-
lative Truth, as Julian for the "great city of gods and
men." Of these three ideals, to which, beyond all others,
Greece had opened the eyes of mankind, that of Political
Freedom and Justice had long been relegated from prac-
tical life to the realm of thought, and those who had
power paid no heed to it. The search for Truth was
finally made hopeless when the world, mistrusting
Reason, weary of argument and wonder, flung itself
passionately under the spell of a system of authoritative
Revelation, which acknowledged no truth outside itself,
and stamped free inquiry as sin. And who was to
preach the old Beauty, earnest and frank and innocent,
to generations which had long ceased to see it or to
care for it ? The intellect of Greece died ultimately of
that long discouragement which works upon nations like
slow poison. She ceased to do her mission because her
mission had ceased to bear fruit. And the last great
pagans, men like Plotinus, Longus, and Julian, pro-



' GOTTERDAMMERUNG * 405

nounce their own doom and plead for their own pardon,
when they refuse to strike new notes or to try the ring
of their own voices, content to rouse mere echoes of
that old call to Truth, to Beauty, to Political Freedom
and Justice, with which Greece had awakened the world
long ago, when the morning was before her, and her
wings were strong.
