Hellenistic poets of the third and second centuries BC were
concerned with the need both to mark their continuity with the
classical past and to demonstrate their independence from it. In
this revised and expanded translation of Muse e modelli: la poesia
ellenistica da Alessandro Magno ad Augusto, Greek poetry of the
third and second centuries BC and its reception and influence at
Rome are explored allowing both sides of this literary practice to
be appreciated. Genres as diverse as epic and epigram are
considered from a historical perspective, in the full range of
their deep-level structures, providing a different perspective on
the poetry and its influence at Rome. Some of the most famous
poetry of the age such as Callimachus' Aitia and Apollonius'
Argonautica is examined. In addition, full attention is paid to the
poetry of encomium, in particular the newly published epigrams of
Posidippus, and Hellenistic poetics, notably Philodemus.
