The Ciris with all its flaws is one of our best examples of the
romantic verse tales made popular by the Alexandrian poets of
Callimachus' school. The old legends had of course been told in
epic or dramatic form, but changing society now cared less for the
stirring action and bloodshed that had entertained the early
Greeks. The times were ripe for a retelling from a different point
of view, with a more patient analysis of the emotions, of the inner
impulses of the moment before the blow, the battle of passions that
preceded the final act.
