Description
This is a full-scale edition with commentary of the archaic epic poems Oichalias Halosis by Kreophylos of Samos and Herakleia by Peisandros of Kamiros.
The Greek text (divided between testimonies and fragments) is accompanied by detailed critical apparatus and English translation.
There are also extensive introductions to the biography of each poet, the title of the poem, its content and style, as well as a careful examination of the relative chronology of each epic.
The detailed commentary of every fragment offers an up-to-date examination of all the extant material that has come down to us through a rich indirect tradition.
This is the second installment of the project Early Greek Epic Poets (vol.
I: Genealogical and Antiquarian Epic, De Gruyter 2017), which aims to enhance the study of Greek epic poetry of the archaic and classical period by means of providing readers with authoritative editions and commentaries of a significant part of fragmentary early Greek epic.
