More DescriptionThis is the first new edition for more than a decade of fragments of the writings of Timotheus of Miletus, a Greek lyric poet of the fifth and fourth centuries BC. Hordern's accurate text, based on close examination of the original papyrus, is an invaluable contribution to scholarship of the period. A comprehensive commentary (the fullest available) deals with both textual and literary points, offering both a complete metrical analysis and an explanatory discussion of each fragment. The extensive introduction provides a series of technical studies of Timotheus' language, dialect, style, and metre together with a more general account of his place in Greek literary and musical history.
