The Complete Works of Callimachus. Illustrated

Representative of Ancient Greek literature of the Hellenistic period, Callimachus wrote over 800 literary works in a wide variety of genres, most of which did not survive. He espoused an aesthetic philosophy, known as Callimacheanism, which exerted a strong influence on the poets of the Roman Empire and, through them, on all subsequent Western literature.Contents:Callimachus: His Life and WorksHymnsEpigramsFragmentsThe Greek Texts
