In this book, leading Greek scholars explore the rich and diverse
poetry and prose of the long Hellenistic period. Chapters focus on
the poets of Alexandria such as Callimachus, Theocritus,
Apollonius, and Posidippus and on prose texts written in Greek in
the Roman Empire. This volume demonstrates the versatility of this
literature and examines its multiple cultural affiliations. The
Hellenistic writers emerge from this volume as complex, playful,
and politically engaged figures, interested in the relationship
between culture and society, and far removed from the stereotype of
them as distant or elitist. This book makes a major contribution to
the study of Hellenistic Greek culture. Susan Stephens is the Sarah
Hart Kimball Emerita Professor in the Humanities at Stanford
University, USA. Her contributions to the study of Hellenistic
literature and culture are immense. She is the author of over fifty
articles and the author or editor of ten books. Many of these
publications have made a significant impact on the study of the
ancient world. Her research on the poets of Alexandria and on
ancient Greek prose fiction is widely regarded as path-breaking.
She is an inspiring and influential teacher who guided and mentored
generations of students and is closely associated with Stanford,
where she obtained her undergraduate and doctoral degrees and where
she taught from 1978 until her retirement.
