Description

In this book, leading Greek scholars explore the rich and diverse poetry and prose of the long Hellenistic period.

Chapters focus on the poets of Alexandria such as Callimachus, Theocritus, Apollonius, and Posidippus and on prose texts written in Greek in the Roman Empire.

This volume demonstrates the versatility of this literature and examines its multiple cultural affiliations.

The Hellenistic writers emerge from this volume as complex, playful, and politically engaged figures, interested in the relationship between culture and society, and far removed from the stereotype of them as distant or elitist.

This book makes a major contribution to the study of Hellenistic Greek culture. Susan Stephens is the Sarah Hart Kimball Emerita Professor in the Humanities at Stanford University, USA.

Her contributions to the study of Hellenistic literature and culture are immense. She is the author of over fifty articles and the author or editor of ten books.

Many of these publications have made a significant impact on the study of the ancient world.

Her research on the poets of Alexandria and on ancient Greek prose fiction is widely regarded as path-breaking.

She is an inspiring and influential teacher who guided and mentored generations of students and is closely associated with Stanford, where she obtained her undergraduate and doctoral degrees and where she taught from 1978 until her retirement.
