Description
Excerpt from Callirrhoe: Fair Rosamund Before the bar of Time this poem pleads guilty to anachronism. The establishment in Greece of the worship of Dionysus reaches back into the dateless vistas of legend. The Author has so far defied Cronus, that he has represented this foreign cult struggling for recognition in the midst of a refined and even sceptical Hellas. Mighty voices excuse him, which have prevailed in silencing the accusations of "old Time"; he is their client. Euripides puts the language of a sophist in the lips of pre-historic heroes. Virgil makes AEneas and Dido contemporaries.
The Author would here remark that his account of the rise of the drama is purely imaginative and unhistorical.
The story of Callirrhoe is drawn from a classic source, but has never been raised from obscurity by ancient bard or dramatist This fact has permitted a latitude of treatment, unstraitened by the fear of presumption.
