This volume is an edition of the fragments of the Greek epic and elegiac poet, Antimachus of Colophon (c. 400 BC), an important figure linking the literatures of archaic and classical Greece with that of the Hellenistic age. The introduction examines the poet's life and work, discussing both his poetry and his activity as a Homeric scholar. It concludes with an assessment of his reception by Hellenistic and subsequent writers. The body of the book is a critical edition of the 200-plus fragments of Antimachus's work. Each fragment is supplied with a commentary elucidating both text and context, with particular emphasis on Antimachus's use of his predecessors, especially Homer, and on his own influence upon the Hellenistic scholar-poets.
