Simonides of Keos was one of the most important praise-poets of the
early fifth century BCE, ranking alongside Pindar and Bacchylides.
In Simonides Lyricus, a group of leading international experts
revisit familiar questions about his lyric poetry, and pose new
ones. Themes discussed include textual criticism and attribution of
fragments; poetic genre and the place of the poet’s melic
fragments in his larger oeuvre; the historical, cultural and
political background of the poems; and Simonides’ afterlife in
the biographical and anecdotal traditions that formed around his
name. The volume makes a substantial contribution to modern
discussions of Simonides’ place in Greek literary and cultural
history and to the understanding of this poet’s often fragmentary
and difficult texts.
