Poetry in Fragments


Book Description

Next to the Theogony and the Works and Days stands an entire corpus of fragmentary works attributed to the Boeotian poet Hesiod that has during the last thirty years attracted growing scholarly interest. Whereas other studies have concentrated either on the interpretation of the best preserved work of this corpus, the Catalogue of Women, or have offered detailed commentaries, this volume aims at bringing together studies focusing on generic and contextual factors pertaining to the various works of the Hesiodic corpus, the Catalogue of Women included, and the corpus' afterlife in Rome and Byzantium.




Nicander


Book Description

Originally published in 1953, this volume gathers together the poems of Nicander (2nd century BC), the renowned Ancient Greek poet, physician, and grammarian. Consummately edited, the text contains the original Greek poetry with a parallel page translation, together with a brief biography, an introduction to the verse, and a generous notes section at the end. This remains a fascinating edition that will be of value to anyone with an interest in Nicander.
