- Elegy and iambus are major forms of Greek literature crucial to understanding the Archaic and early Classical periods. This edition analyses the varied surviving output of ten leading poets. It provides a detailed and up-to-date commentary on 83 poems and fragments, including recent important discoveries. The Greek text is based on a fresh consultation of manuscripts and papyri, while the wide-ranging Introduction discusses many fundamental issues: poet and persona, contexts of performance, contact with foreign cultures, social and political revolution, sexuality and gender, and rationalism; language, style, metre, and textual transmission are also treated.
