Author:
The work of Stesichoros, an ancient Greek poet of the early sixth century B.C., is transmitted in fragments only. This volume contains a new edition of some of the most interesting Stesichoros-papyri from the Oxyrhynchus collection. The papyri are analysed under various aspects: survey of relevant secondary literature, introduction about identification and contents of each papyrus (including archaeological evidence), papyrological description, metrics; the edition is complete with a Latin critical apparatus, translation and detailed commentary. A brief general introduction illustrates notorious problems concerning the author, the genre etc. A bibliography and indices are provided at the end of the volume. The book will be welcomed by classicists and papyrologists alike.
Gerson Schade has published a commentary on Lykophron's 'Odyssee' (de Gruyter, 1999) and habilitated at the Freie Universität Berlin with a new edition and commentary of selected Stesichoros-papyri.
Classical philologists and papyrologists as well as those interested in metrics.
