This edition of Callimachus' select larger fragments and epigrams offers an indispensable guide for properly appreciating his poetic art. By also discussing important but lesser-known pieces, it sheds light on Callimachus' varied activity. Finally, it offers an up-to-date introduction to his life, career, and aesthetics.

This monograph examines the reception of Pindar in the poetry produced at the court of the first three Ptolemies (ca. 305¿222 BCE). Through active engagement with the works of Pindar, poets such as Callimachus, Theocritus, Apollonius, and Posidippus responded to the encomiastic needs of their Ptolemaic patrons and fashioned an image of Pindar as the praise poet par excellence.
