Eran Shalev Quotes
Patriot Writers Attempted To Inculcate Civic Virtue Through Allusions To Classical History, Frequently Greek But Even More Often Roman, And Ancient Glory. A Revolutionary Writer In The Virginia Gazette, Wishing To "secure This Valuable Blessing [of Classical Virtue], And Learn The Greatness Of Its Worth," Wished To Recommend To His "countrymen, Especially The Younger Part Of It, A Thorough Acquaintance With These Records Of Illustrious Liberty, The Histories Of Greece And Rome." The Writer Intended This Recommendation Not As A Theoretical Or Academic Exercise, But Rather As A Spur To Urge Americans To "a Glorious Emulation Of Those Virtues, Which Have Immortalized Their Names." Classical Examples Would Surely Instill Americans With "a Just Hatred Of Tyranny And Zeal For Freedom," And Induce Them To Follow "the Godlike Actions Of Those Heroes And Patriots, Whose Lives Are Delivered Down To Us By Plutarch.
