The purpose of these poems is unclear, but they seem to have some connection with cult songs used in religious festivals--for example, those honoring Dionysus and Demeter. In this completely new Loeb Classical Library edition of early Greek iambic poetry, Douglas Gerber provides a faithful and fully annotated translation of the fragments that have come down to us. Archilochus expressed himself in colorful and vigorous language. Famous throughout antiquity for his winged barbs, he is often considered the archetypal poet of blame. Other major poets in this volume are Semonides, best known for a long misogynistic poem describing ten types of wives; and Hipponax, who was much admired by the poets of Hellenistic Alexandria, in part for his depictions of the licentious and seamy side of society. 606 $aIambic poetry, Greek$vTranslations into English 606 $aIambic poetry, Greek 606 $aIambic poetry, Greek$3(OCoLC)966426$2fast 615 0$aIambic poetry, Greek 615 0$aIambic poetry, Greek. 615 7$aIambic poetry, Greek 676 $a881/.0108 702 $aGerber$b Douglas E. 801 0$bMaCbHUP 801 2$bTLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996199220703316 996 $aGreek iambic poetry$977648 997 $aUNISA
