Opis

This is the first full-scale commentary on the extant fragments of genealogical and antiquarian epic of the archaic period since G. Marckscheffel's Latin commentary in 1840. It includes introduction to the relevant authors and poems, Greek text, translation, detailed commentary, index of the sources transmitting these texts, and a comparatio numerorum with all the previous major editions.

Recenzje

"Tsagalis' broad treatment of the fragments renders fascinating overviews and expansions [...] In sum, with Early Greek Epic Fragments I Tsagalis offers a valuable, readable, and highly desired commentary on the extant early antiquarian and genealogical epic fragments. Despite the many uncertainties and questions, and at times because of them, this imaginative book will be both fascinating and useful for all students and scholars of Greek epic fragments and of mythology and mythography alike. One can only hope for the appearance of part II soon."
