Longinos (English spelling)

Longinos (English spelling)
Greek name usually given to the anonymous author of Peri Hypsus (On the Sublime). Probably a rhetorician from the mid-1st century. Peri Hypsus is the greatest literary critique of antiquity, and discusses what constitutes the "sublime" in literature, arguing that it consists of great ideas and strong emotions, supplemented by artistic composition and noble language, qualities that give dignity and elevation. It illustrates this with abundant quotations from classical literature, and compares the Iliad and the Odyssey, and Demosthenes and Cicero. The author cites Homer, Plato, and Demosthenes as exemplars of the sublime style.

Japanese:
『崇高について』 Peri Hypsusの無名の著者に通常つけられているギリシア人の名。おそらく1世紀なかば頃の修辞家。『崇高について』は古代最高の文学批評の書で,何が文学において「崇高」を構成するかを論じ,それを偉大な考えと強い情緒に求め,さらにそれを芸術的構成と高貴な言葉づかいによって補い,これらの特性が尊厳と高揚を生むとする。古典文学からの豊富な引用によって説明し,『イリアス』と『オデュッセイア』,デモステネスとキケロを比較したりする。著者はホメロス,プラトン,デモステネスらを崇高な文体の典型としている。
