Having found his translators, may Callimachus now find the public he deserves. D.S. CarneRossA Poundian figure who summed up the possibilties of a new eras response to an old and rich poetic tradition, Callimachus (ca. 305 B.C.ca. 240 B.C.) was the first learned scholarpoet in Western literature.The leading poet of the Alexandrian school, Callimachus served as a model to Vergil, Catullus, Propertius, and Ovid. With remarkable grace and sensitivity to nuance, Stanley Lombardo and Diane Rayor provide the first translation of Callimachuss works into the American poetic idiom. Lombardo and Rayor translate the six hymns and sixtyone epigrams that are the only complete extant poems of a writer credited with having produces some eight hundred books in his lifetime. In addition, they offer a generous selection from among the surviving fragments, inclduing the prologue and selected passages from the Aetia (The Origins), Callimachuss greatest achievement in narrative verse. Theiry annotations elucidate the poets rich mythological allusions; an introduction places Callimachus within his cultural and poetic contexts.
