Book Description
A wide representative range of poetry, including hymns, didactic verse, pastoral poetry, epigrams and epics is supplemented by a cultural and historical introduction and commentary clarifying problems of language and text.
Review
"The appearance of any annotated Hellenistic text is a matter for rejoicing. Hopkinson's Anthology is especially welcome because of the excellence of its commentary and for the judiciously chosen selections: 1,738 lines of poetry, that is, a volume of reasonable length for today's undergraduate upper-level Greek students....this text will serve as an excellent introduction to the rich variety of material we so often neglect." Jerry Clack, Classical World
