Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Argonautics of Apollonius Rhodius Translated: With Notes and Observations, Critical, Historical, and Explanatory; In Four Volumes, Vols. I-II
Certain it is, that two of the great critics of antiquity (from whose sentence there could lie no appeal, were it pronounced on a fair hearing and full deliberation,) have treated the Rhodian poet, in a manner that seems to justify the coldness and neglect which he has now experienced from suc ceeding ages. But may not these respectable and amiable writers, Quintilian and Longinus, of whose exquisite taste and sound judgment no doubt can be, entertained; may they not, in this instance, have been borne away by fashion -may they not have yielded, in some measure, to the prejudices of the times; and neglected Apollonius, because they found him neglected by others? May they not have hastily taken his character on trust and adopted the Opinion of his mediocrity, without a diligent perusal of his writings? May they not, through excessive admiration of Homer, have wished to decry the founder of a new school?
It is to be remembered, that the critics whom I have mentioned were enthusiastic admirers (as.

Excerpt from The Argonautics of Apollonius Rhodius Translated: With Notes and Observations, Critical, Historical, and Explanatory; In Four Volumes, Vols. I-II
It is a curious circumstance, to inquire how this has happened. Two Roman writers, of great eminence, have condescended to avail themselves of the talents and the labours of the Alexandrian: yet they have not, in any part of their works, acknowledged the obligation, or paid the smallest tribute of gratitude to his memory. May it not be conjectured, that the poets in question, and their adherents, found an ungenerous interest in the keeping back from view the merits of a rival, whose prominence might tend to overshadow them - May not the Romans, from a general sen timent of pride and triumph in their great epic poet, have been disposed to consign, if possible, to obscurity, the source from whence he had im bibed his very genius and poetical style and character, and had drawn so many of his softest and pure st graces -'l'hc father of epic song rose.
