This edition with commentary covers a wide selection of Hellenistic epigrams in a way suitable for both students and scholars.

Recenzje

'… this commentary is a valuable contribution that should be useful to both students and established scholars. The text would be very well suited for use in an upper-level reading course or perhaps a graduate-level proseminar and will hopefully invite new scholars into the exciting world of Hellenistic epigram.' Matthew Chaldekas, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
