What is Hellenistic Poetry: An Anthology (Wisconsin Studies in Classics) about?

<p>An accomplished poet and classical scholar, Barbara Hughes Fowler brings Hellenistic poetry to life for the contemporary reader.&nbsp; Her selections engage us with the full range of Hellenistic poetic genres, styles, themes, and moods.&nbsp; The anthology includes Fowler’s new translation of the entire <i>Argonautica</i> of Apollonius of Rhodes, and eight of Theocritus’ <i>Idylls</i>, including the beautiful, sensuous description of late summer in <i>Idyll VII</i> and the shrewdly comical description of two young matrons venturing into the noisy streets of Alexandria in <i>Idyll XV</i>.&nbsp; There are translations of four hymns of Callimachus, as well as poems by Aratus, Bion, Herodas, Moschus, Pseudo-Moschus, and a substantial selection from the <i>Greek Anthology.</i><br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An ideal companion to her recently published book, <i>The Hellenistic Aesthetic,</i> Barbara Fowler’s <i>Hellenistic Poetry</i> is both a major contribution to classical studies and an invitation to all interested readers to discover the beauty and richness of Hellenistic poetry.</p>
