Callimachus was one of the most important and influential writers in the ancient world. He was the outstanding poet of the Hellenistic period, and had a profound effect on the subsequent course of Greek and Roman literature. The hymns are intricate, allusive and difficult poetry, and need elucidation for the modern reader. The Fifth Hymn, The Bath of Pallas, is considered by many to be Callimachus’ finest surviving poem. Anthony Bulloch has established a new text of the poem, which is printed here with facing English translation. The substantial introduction and full commentary aim to introduce the poem to a wide audience and to help the modern reader to reconstruct what the ancient reader may have taken for granted as part of the crucial and intellectual background and to achieve an informed and sensitive appreciation of the poem in its full perspective. This is the first full edition of and commentary on the work in English. It will be welcomed by Greek scholars and those interested in Greek and Roman poetry.

Callimachus (ca. 303-ca. 235 BC), a proud and well-born native of
Cyrene in Libya, came as a young man to the court of the Ptolemies
at Alexandria, where he composed poetry for the royal family;
helped establish the Library and Museum as a world center of
literature, science, and scholarship; and wrote an estimated 800
volumes of poetry and prose on an astounding variety of subjects,
including the Pinakes, a descriptive bibliography of the Library's
holdings in 120 volumes. Callimachus' vast learning richly informs
his poetry, which ranges broadly and reworks the language and
generic properties of his predecessors in inventive, refined, and
expressive ways. The "Callimachean" style, combining learning,
elegance, and innovation and prizing brevity, clarity, lightness,
and charm, served as an important model for later poets, not least
at Rome for Catullus, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, and the elegists, among
others. This edition, which replaces the earlier Loeb editions by
A. W. Mair (1921) and C. A. Trypanis (1954, 1958), presents all
that currently survives of and about Callimachus and his works,
including the ancient commentaries (Diegeseis) and scholia. Volume
I contains Aetia, Iambi, and lyric poems; Volume II Hecale, Hymns,
and Epigrams; and Volume III miscellaneous epics and elegies, other
fragments, and testimonia, together with concordances and a general
index. The Greek text is based mainly on Pfeiffer's but enriched by
subsequently published papyri and the judgment of later editors,
and its notes and annotation are fully informed by current
scholarship.

Callimachus of Cyrene, born ca. 310 BCE, after studying philosophy
at Athens, became a teacher of grammar and poetry at Alexandria.
Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt (reigned 285-247) made him when
still young a librarian in the new library at Alexandria; he
prepared a great catalogue of its books.
Callimachus was author of much poetry and many works in prose,
but not much survives. His hymns and epigrams are given with works
by Aratus and Lycophron in another volume ("no. 129") of the Loeb
Classical Library. In the present volume are included fragments of
the "Aetia" (Causes), aetiological legends concerning Greek history
and customs; fragments of a book of "Iambi"; 147 fragments of the
epic poem "Hecale," which described Theseus's victory over the bull
which infested Marathon; and other fragments.
We have no explicit information about the poet Musaeus, author
of the short epic poem on "Hero and Leander," except that he is
given in some manuscripts the title Grammatikos, a teacher learned
in the rhetoric, poetry and philosophy of his time. He was
obviously a follower of the Egyptian poet Nonnus of Panopolis, of
the fifth century AD, and his poem seems also to presuppose the
"Paraphrase of the Psalms" of Pseudo-Apollinarius which can be
dated to the period 460-470.
Musaeus takes up a subject whose first detailed treatment is
preserved in Ovid's "Heroides" (Epistles 18 and 19), but he
presents it in a quite different manner. Among the literary
antecedents to which this learned grammatikos expressly alludes,
the most prominent are Books 5 and 6 of the "Odyssey" and Plato's
"Phaedrus." He draws too on the "Hymns" of Proclus and the
"Metaphrasis of the Gospel of St. John" byNonnus. He was most
probably a Christian Neoplatonist writing a Christian allegory.

Sixth Hymn, The Hymn to Demeter, which is printed here with a
facing English translation. In his thorough analysis of the poem it
is the editor's aim to show how Callimachus adapts and borrows from
Homer and other early poetry to form a new type of poetic diction.
The introduction has full discussions of the poem's ritual setting,
of its extraordinary inset narrative, and of Callimachus' treatment
of dialect and metre. The extensive commentary elucidates
difficulties in the text and treats critical, linguistic and
stylistic points with reference to the Latin and later Greek
hexameter writers. This is the first full edition of and commentary
on the work in English. It will be welcomed by Greek scholars and

Having found his translators, may Callimachus now find the public
he deserves. —D.S. Carne-Ross A Poundian figure who summed up the
possibilties of a new era's response to an old and rich poetic
tradition, Callimachus (ca. 305 B.C.-ca. 240 B.C.) was the first
learned scholar-poet in Western literature. The leading poet of the
Alexandrian school, Callimachus served as a model to Vergil,
Catullus, Propertius, and Ovid. With remarkable grace and
sensitivity to nuance, Stanley Lombardo and Diane Rayor provide the
first translation of Callimachus's works into the American poetic
idiom. Lombardo and Rayor translate the six hymns and sixty-one
epigrams that are the only complete extant poems of a writer
credited with having produces some eight hundred books in his
lifetime. In addition, they offer a generous selection from among
the surviving fragments, inclduing the prologue and selected
passages from the Aetia ("The Origins"), Callimachus's greatest
achievement in narrative verse. Theiry annotations elucidate the
poet's rich mythological allusions; an introduction places
Callimachus within his cultural and poetic contexts.
