The Getty Hexameters looks in detail at a series of forty-four
magical verses inscribed on a recently discovered lead tablet from
Sicily in the fifth century BC, which is now in the Getty Museum,
Los Angeles.
Divided into two sections, the volume consists of a general
introduction to the new inscriptions, together with a critical text
and English translation, photographs, and drawings. The second
section contains a collection of eleven interpretative essays which
treat various aspects of the text, including religious and civic
context, date and poetic language, transmission, and connections to
ancient magic and ritual practice.
The volume is the first complete critical edition of the Greek text
to appear in print and contains important scholarship for the field
of classics from an acclaimed list of contributors.
