Alexandrian poet Callimachus. Callimachus' Iambi form a collection of thirteen poems, which rework archaic Greek iambography and look forward to Roman satire and other genres, especially to such collections as Horace's Epodes. The poems are especially significant as examples of cultural memory since they are composed both as an act of commemorating earlier poetry and as a manipulation of traditional features of iambic poetry to refashion the iambic genre. This book fills a significant gap by providing the first complete translation of several of these fragmentary poems in English, along with line-by-line commentary, notes, and literary analysis.The structure of the book is thematic, with chapters focusing on such topics as poetic voice, fable, ethical criticism, and statuary. Each chapter consists of an introduction, text and selected critical apparatus, translation, and comprehensive thematic discussion. Acosta-Hughes focuses especially on Callimachus' manipulation of traditional features of archaic iambic poetry such as persona loquens, ethical and critical message, and eristic dialogue. He also includes a detailed analysis of the Alexandrian poet's artistic relationship with the earlier iambic poets Archilochus and Hipponax. Polyeideia will interest not only readers of Greek and Hellenistic poetry but also readers of Roman satire and invective verse, as well as those intrigued by the processes of memorializing and fashioning poetic culture. 410 0$aHellenistic culture and society ;$v35. 606 $aIambic poetry, Greek$xHistory and criticism 610 $aalexandria. 610 $aarchilochus. 610 $abiography. 610 $acallimachus. 610 $aclassicism. 610 $aeristic dialogue. 610 $aethics. 610 $afable. 610 $afolklore. 610 $afragmentary poems. 610 $agreece. 610 $agreek poetry. 610 $agreek. 610 $ahellenism. 610 $ahipponax. 610 $aiam. 610 $aiambic genre. 610 $aiambic poetry. 610 $aiambic poets. 610 $ainvective verse. 610 $aliterary criticism. 610 $aliterature. 610 $amyth. 610 $apersona loquens. 610 $apoetic form. 610 $apoetic voice. 610 $apoetry. 610 $asatire. 610 $asocial commentary. 610 $athird century. 615 0$aIambic poetry, Greek$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a881/.01 700 $aAcosta-Hughes$b Benjamin$f1960-$0472662 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780085203321 996 $aPolyeideia$9907766 997 $aUNINA
