The poetry produced in third-century BCE Alexandria, the newly founded capital of the Ptolemies, draws on Greek literature while forging a new literary culture for the expanding city and its diverse population. After describing this progressive and creative environment, this volume focuses on the poetry (presented in translation) of Posidippus of Pella, Theocritus of Syracuse, Callimachus of Cyrene, and Apollonius of Rhodes. Part of the Understanding Classics series.
