Parian questions,

This review is from: Greek Elegy and Iambus - vol II with Anacreontea (Loeb Classical Library - No 259) (Volume II) (English and Greek Edition) (Hardcover)
Mostly very small fragments which serve more to attest to the diligence of the scholar who assembled them than to entertain the reader. I was intrigued to see a citation of Synesius "In Praise of Baldness" which sounds the sort of thing we should have more of. Anacreon is translated very freely into jingly rhyming quatrains.I was puzzled about the Parian Chronicle. This is quoted on pages 30-31 concerning the life of Dionysus the Younger. Then on page 315 we have a description of the "Archilochus Monument" apparently referring to the marble inscription in the museum at Parikia. It had been my understanding that this formed part of the Parian Chronicle, with the remainder taken by the perfidious English (the Earl of Arundel's chaplain) to the Bodleian. What is the exact story on this? Edmonds gives his trascriptions into lower case Greek letters. |
