Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ...prominence. Now Vergil, though mentioning 'the smiling lawns of happy groves' and 'the fragrant bay-trees, ' and saying that the ghosts 'dwell in the shady woods, and haunt the couches that the river-banks afford, and the meadows that the fountains freshen, ' does not mention any flowers; but in the Homeric Hades the spirits pass 'along the mead of asphodel, ' Od. 11. 539, and the asphodel is a species of lily. (In Mn. 6. 883 Anchises says 'give me handfuls of lilies, ' which implies that they grew in Vergil's Elysian Fields also.) Acheron.--Mids. 3. 2. 357; Mcb. 3. 5. 15; Tit. 4. 3. 44. Vergil's description of Acheron is not minute, and Shakespeare does not seem very sure what it is. Thus in Mcb. we have 'the pit of Acheron, ' and in Tit. it is apparently a 'burning lake.' In Mids. the heaven is covered With drooping fog as black as Acheron. 2En. 6. 107 is perhaps responsible for the last: 'Tenebrosa palus Acheronte refuso.' The phrase 'pit of Acheron' in Hades 67 Mcb. is apparently applied by the witches to some tarn near the scene of the action. Cocytus.--Mentioned only in Tit. 2. 3. 236: As hateful as Cocytus' misty mouth. Cocytus is mentioned by Vergil in 2En. 6. 323 et alibi. Lethe.--R3. 4. 4. 250; H4B 5. 2. 72; Tw. 4. 1. 66; Hml. 1. 5. 33; Ant. 2. 1. 27; 2. 7. 114. The river of forgetfulness is described in Mn. 6. 703-723, but of course the idea is a familiar one. Twice Shakespeare uses the word as a synonym of forgetfulness: Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep. Tw. 4. 1. 66, also Ant. 2. 7. 114. Similar to this is the adjectival use in Ant. 2. 1. 27: 'a Lethe'd dulness.' The allusions in R3 and H4B would indicate that Shakespeare thinks of Lethe as 'washing' away or 'drowning' memory. In Vergil it is by drinking of the water th

Daphne.--Mids. 2. 1. 231; Troil. 1. 1. 101; Shr. Ind. 2. 61. See Apollo. Destiny, Destinies.--See Fate. Deucalion.--Cor. 2. 1. 102; Wint. 4. 4. 441; (Cses. 1. 2. 152). Deucalion is mentioned twice in plays with classical setting as equivalent to Noah, i. e. as the common ancestor of the race, or as one standing in the dawn of history. Cf. 'Since before Noah was a sailor, ' Tw. 3. 2. 18. The 'great flood' of Ges. 1. 2. 152 is probably Deucalion's. For the story see Met. 1. 313 seq. Diana. It is as patroness and type of chastity that Shakespeare most often alludes to Diana. These allusions, of which there are sixteen in the authentic plays, cover the whole range of Shakespeare's activity from Mids. to Cymb., and are pretty evenly divided between tragedies and comedies, but never occur in the histories. In this capacity, Diana is antithetic to Cupid (or Venus). The antithesis is expressed in Rom. 1. 1. 215; Ado 4. 1. 58; Alls 1. 3. 218; 2. 3. 80. In Mids. 4. 1. 76, Dian's bud o'er Cupid's flower Hath such force and blessed power, Steevens sees an allusion to the Agnus Castus, 'the virtue of which is that he will keep man and woman chaste' (see the Chaucerian Flower and the Leaf 472-5). The line is more simply explained by Ado 4. 1. 58: You seem to me as Dian in her orb, As chaste as is the bud ere it be blown. Still the context would seem to show that 'Cupid's flower' is the 'love-in-idleness' of 2. 1. 168, and we not unnaturally expect a particular flower to counteract its charm. It is noticeable that as patroness of chastity, Shakespeare mentions the divinity by only one name, Diana (or Dian). Next in..

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Classical Mythology in Shakespeare The term classical mythology has been taken to include not only the divinities of the ancient religion and such tales as those of Ovid's Metamorphoses, but also the heroes of the Trojan war and the personages of the Eneid. In a number of cases, such, for example, as Fortune, Nature, and Fame, it has not been easy to draw a hard and fast line between mythology and mere philosophical personification. In Part First, where the myths are discussed severally, I have been inclined to include such subjects, while excluding them as doubtful from the generalizations Of Part Second and the Introduction.
