I was thinking whether there might be something analogous in American tradition, and I came up with the echo of the St. Crispin's Day speech in this stirring number from our own Civil War: https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DUVeSKwM--1M&data=02%7C01%7CCLASSICS-L%40LSV.UKY.EDU%7Cc6f3245c701f46107ff408d728e6b7cc%7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C0%7C637022843730597027&sdata=lldI%2FNG8jIe0dKibPwayD9LqP1q5nXSIvKswji3Wg2o%3D&reserved=0. Agamemnon, Henry V, Makriyannis, the Balkan Wars and the Lost Cause: what a stew!

Varnalis's poem: «ΑΙΔΩΣ, ΑΡΓΕΙΟΙ…» Με ζήλο στα σκολειά της προδοσίας του σάπιου αιώνα σέπεται η γενιά! Χαίρονται της σκλαβιάς την ξεγνοιασιά και τρέμουν του λαού την παρουσία. 5 Κι αν στα βουνά κράξ’ η τρομπέτα: «Ανάστα!» θα τρέξουν τον οχτρό να διπλαρώσουν, να ξαναδέσουν τη φτωχιά πατρίδα, κι όσοι απροσκύνητοι, όλους ντουφεκίδι. Μακρυγιάννη, οι πληγές σου από τα βόλια 10 τρέχαν αίματα κι όμπυο ολοζωής, μα τώρα διπλοτρέχουνε, Πατέρα, της ψυχής σου οι πληγές από ντροπή. -----Original Message----- From: Classical Greek and Latin Discussion Group <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Diana Wright Sent: Saturday, August 24, 2019 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Argives in New Haven This email originated outside Colorado College.
