Book Synopsis The New Simonides by : Deborah Boedeker

Download or read book The New Simonides written by Deborah Boedeker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-06-14 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of his life (550-460 BC), the Greek poet Simonides produced poetic work of every kind then extant. Unfortunately, Simonides' corpus has survived only in fragments, though classical scholars have been studying his work for generations. The 1992 discovery of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri revolutionized the study of Simonides, casting particular light on the epic of Plataea. This edited volume gathers the best of the recent research on Simonides' newly expanded oeuvre into a single collection that will be an important reference for scholars of Greek poetry.
