Looking at the ways in which the poetry of Sappho, Alcaeus, Ibycus, Anacreon, and Simonides was preserved, edited, and read by Hellenistic scholars and poets, the book shows that Archaic poets often look very different in the new social, cultural, and political setting of Hellenistic Alexandria. For example, the Alexandrian Sappho evolves from the singer of Archaic Lesbos but has distinct associations and contexts, from Ptolemaic politics and Macedonian queens to the new phenomenon of the poetry book and an Alexandrian scholarship intent on preservation and codification. A study of Hellenistic poetic culture and an interpretation of some of the Archaic poets it so lovingly preserved, Arion's Lyre is also an examination of how one poetic culture reads another--and how modern readings of ancient poetry are filtered and shaped by earlier readings. 606 $aGreek poetry$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGreek poetry, Hellenistic$zEgypt$zAlexandria$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIntertextuality 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGreek poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGreek poetry, Hellenistic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIntertextuality. 676 $a884/.0109 686 $aFE 4149$2rvk 700 $aAcosta-Hughes$b Benjamin$f1960-$0472662 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456829503321 996 $aArion's lyre$9225494 997 $aUNINA
