The Poetics of Imitation: Anacreon and the Anacreontic Tradition
Rosenmeyer, Patricia A. (Yale University, Connecticut)
This collection of poems, once thought to be the work of the archaic Greek poet Anacreon, was considered unworthy of attention when revealed to be late Hellenistic and early Roman imitations by anonymous writers. This 1992 book explores the complex poetics of imitation which inspired anacreontic composition for so many centuries in antiquity. A full translation is included as an appendix.
