Description

This book continues the work done in the volumes edited by A.

S. F. Gow and D. L. Page entitled Hellenistic Epigrams and The Garland of Philip.

It sets out to include all Greek literary epigrams composed before AD 50 and not published in those volumes, and extends also to epigrams ascribed to certain imperial Romans.

Another author commented on is Leonides of Alexandria, whose poems observe curious mathematical laws.

The challenge to the authenticity of much of what passes for Simonides and the associated historical discussion constitute one of the most important sections of the book.

This edition and commentary will be indispensable to scholars of Greek literature.
