- Summary:
- "In this book, some of the leading Greek scholars in the world explore the rich and diverse poetry and prose of the 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. The 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. The book makes a major contribution to the study of Hellenistic Greek culture. Para about SAS (honorand) here"-- Provided by publisher.
