The Milan Papyrus ( P. Mil. Volg. VIII. 309), containing a
collection of epigrams apparently all by Posidippus of Pella,
provides one of the most exciting new additions to the corpus of
Greek literature in decades. It not only contains over 100
previously unknown epigrams by one of the most prominent poets of
the third century BC, but as an artefact it constitutes our
earliest example of a Greek poetry book. In addition to a poetic
translation of the entire corpus of Posidippus' poetry, this volume
contains essays about Posidippus by experts in the fields of
papyrology, Hellenistic and Augustan literature, Ptolemaic history,
and Graeco-Roman visual culture.
