Knowledge of many of these texts has been increased by papyrological discoveries in the last century, yet few of them have appeared in English translation before now. Taken together, these works represent the geographic and stylistic range of a rich and inventive period in Classical literature.Greek poetry, HellenisticTranslations into EnglishGreek prose literatureTranslations into EnglishGreek poetry, Hellenistic(OCoLC)947510fastGreek prose literature(OCoLC)947525fastGreek prose literature, Hellenistic(OCoLC)1749883fastGreek poetry, HellenisticGreek prose literatureGreek poetry, HellenisticGreek prose literatureGreek prose literature, Hellenistic880.86,12ssgnFH 16000rvkLightfoot J.
