Publisher's Synopsis
New texts from Greek antiquity continue to emerge on scraps of papyrus from the sands of Egypt, not only adding to the surviving corpus of Classical and Hellenistic literature but also occasionally offering a glimpse into how these poems were studied in antiquity. This volume presents the Greek text and scholarly commentary on three such new texts: an innovative lyric poem on the Trojan cycle, a scholarly anthology of lyric verses, and a brief but enigmatic third text.
