This is a full-scale edition with commentary of the archaic epic
poems Oichalias Halosis by Kreophylos of Samos and Herakleia by
Peisandros of Kamiros. The Greek text (divided between testimonies
and fragments) is accompanied by detailed critical apparatus and
English translation. There are also extensive introductions to the
biography of each poet, the title of the poem, its content and
style, as well as a careful examination of the relative chronology
of each epic. The detailed commentary of every fragment offers an
up-to-date examination of all the extant material that has come
down to us through a rich indirect tradition. This is the second
installment of the project Early Greek Epic Poets (vol. I:
Genealogical and Antiquarian Epic, De Gruyter 2017), which aims to
enhance the study of Greek epic poetry of the archaic and classical
period by means of providing readers with authoritative editions
and commentaries of a significant part of fragmentary early Greek
epic.
