Description

This volume is an edition of the poetical and grammatical fragments of Philitas of Cos, the exemplary founder of erudite Hellenistic poetry. The Introduction places Philitas in his literary context; the commentary elucidates manipulation of language and metre and Philitas’ influence on the Alexandrian scholar-poets, Propertius and Longus. The book closes with three Appendices and comprehensive Indexes.
