Taking a fresh look at the poetry and visual art of the
Hellenistic age, from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C.
to the Romans' defeat of Cleopatra in 30 B.C., Graham Zanker makes
enlightening discoveries about the assumptions and conventions of
Hellenistic poets and artists and their audiences.
Zanker's exciting new interpretations closely compare poetry and
art for the light each sheds on the other. He finds, for example,
an exuberant expansion of subject matter in the Hellenistic periods
in both literature and art, as styles and iconographic traditions
reserved for grander concepts in earlier eras were applied to
themes, motifs, and subjects that were emphatically less grand.
