Einleitungssatz
THE poets fable that Apollo, being enamoured of Cassandra, was, by her many shifts and cunning flights, still deluded in his desire; but yet fed on with hope until such time as she had drawn from him the gift of prophesying; and having by such her dissimulation in the end attained to that which from the beginning she sought after, she at last flatly rejected his suit; who, finding himself so far engaged in his promise as that he could not by any means revoke again his rash gift, and yet inflamed with an earnest desire of revenge, highly disdaining to be made the scorn of a crafty wench, annexed a penalty to his promise, to wit, that she should ever foretell the truth, but never be believed.

Dreadful Translation
30. Dezember 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This version of the Wisdom of the Ancients uses an ornate, faulty, out of print translation that makes the text ambiguous and difficult to read. It does not include any scholarly information. The Spedding and Ellis edition is probably the best edition out there, and is available open source at a number of websites. It is also included in the complete works. I believe it is being reissued in the coming months. Stay tuned.
