It was subtle of God to learn Greek when he wished to become an author -- and not to learn it better. Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, 1886 Whatever, in fact, is modern in our life we owe to the Greeks. Whatever is an anachronism is due to mediaevalism. Oscar Wilde GILBERT. My dear Ernest, even if not a single fragment of art – criticism had come down to us from Hellenic or Hellenistic days, it would be none the less true that the Greeks were a nation of art – critics, and that they invented the criticism of art just as they invented the criticism of everything else. For, after all, what is our primary debt to the Greeks? Simply the critical spirit. And, this spirit, which they exercised on questions of religion and science, of ethics and metaphysics, of politics and education, they exercised on questions of art also, and, indeed, of the two supreme and highest arts, they have left us the most flawless system of criticism that the world has ever seen. ERNEST. But what are the two supreme and highest arts? GILBERT. Life and Literature, life and the perfect expression of life. The principles of the former, as laid down by the Greeks, we may not realise in an age so marred by false ideals as our own.... Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist
