Excerpt from The Metaphorical Terminology of Greek Rhetoric and Literary Criticism: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Department of the Greek Language and Literature) This dissertation, which is a study in the metaphorical terminology of Greek Rhetoric and Literary Criticism, has the following chief aims: first, after the origin and sources of the more obvious figurative terms have been determined, to classify them accordingly; and, second, to define their uses as critical terms by English and Latin equivalents. One or more examples of actual usage which best illustrate the meaning or history of each term are generally quoted. Further, the occasional citation of English terms of similar origin or meaning, and the quotation of parallel passages from both Latin and English literary critics, have been considered not inappropriate. A number of useful books are cited in the Appendix, to which references are made by giving author's name and page. But Is owe the most to the Lexicon of Ernesti and to Roberts editions of Longinus, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, and Demetrius, which have been exceedingly helpful and freely used. To Professor Paul Shorey, at whose suggestion this thesis was written, I am greatly indebted for assistance. To both Professor Shorey and Professor Edward Capps, as inspiring teachers and Vi friends, I wish to express my deepest gratitude.
