' Cf. W. Cunningham, Western Civilization in Its Economic Aspects, Vol. I, pp. 99-102. SOCIAL ASPECTS OF THE AESTHETIC EXPERIENCE 39 tual life accompanied the rapid changes in economic, social, and political affairs. The body-politic was small enough for all citizens to meet for dis- cussion in the market-place ; everyone shouldered some civic responsibility ; sailors and merchants told of adventurous voyages to every coast of the Mediterranean, and of the "manners, climates, councils, governme...nts" there encountered; returned colonists from Ionia or Magna Graecia boasted, no doubt, of the superior opportunities of their new homes, and thus led the stay-at-homes to marshal their own advantages. It was a world whose dominant mental attitude is reflected in Herodotus curious, restless, shrewd, yet credulous. The air was charged with new and varied interests and expectations, but men were still dazzled and a little amazed by the many prospects opening before them. They felt a sense of youthful exhilaration rather than of achievement or secure possession, of power rather than of control.
