Stephens · Stanford University Callimachus: The Hymns Edited with introduction, translation & commentary All six hymns of the most influential poet of the Hellenistic age, gathered in one accessible modern edition — Greek text, translation, commentary, and interpretive essays. Susan A. Stephens · Oxford University Press · 2015 · paperback · approx. 324 pp · Greek text with English translation · ISBN 978-0-19-978304-5 About the Book Callimachus of Cyrene, who worked in Alexandria in the third century BC, was arguably the most important poet of the Hellenistic age — celebrated for his engagement with earlier theories of poetry and his restless formal experimentation. Of a vast output, only his six hymns and some fifty epigrams survive intact, which makes any complete, accessible edition of the hymns genuinely valuable. This volume supplies exactly that: for each of the six hymns, the Greek text, a translation, and commentary, together with interpretive essays and a substantial general introduction. Susan Stephens treats the hymns' language and meter, their debts to the Homeric Hymns and other traditions, their performance and their ties to cult, court, and sanctuary, and their transmission — folding the best of recent scholarship into a clear, readable guide. It is the first recent single-volume English edition to cover all six hymns together. About the Author Susan A. Stephens is the Sara Hart Kimball Professor in the Humanities and Professor of Classics at Stanford University, and a leading scholar of Hellenistic poetry. Reviewers welcomed the edition warmly — CHOICE judged it invaluable for readers of Hellenistic poetry and important for students of mythology, the history of religion, and Greek literature, and rated it highly recommended.
