The Ancient Rhythmical Art Recovered: Or A New Method Of Explaining The Metrical Structure Of A Greek Tragic Chorus (1843) is a scholarly work by William O’Brien. The book presents a new method of analyzing the metrical structure of a Greek tragic chorus, which was a highly stylized and complex form of poetry. O’Brien argues that the rhythms of the chorus were not arbitrary, but were based on a set of rules and conventions that were deeply rooted in the ancient Greek culture. The book provides a detailed analysis of the structure of the chorus, including the use of different meters, the placement of accents, and the use of repetition and variation. It also includes examples of Greek choruses from various plays, which are analyzed in detail using O’Brien’s new method. The book is intended for scholars of ancient Greek literature and poetry, as well as anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient Greece. Overall, The Ancient Rhythmical Art Recovered is an important contribution to the study of Greek literature and poetry, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
