The New Politics of Olympos: Kingship in Kallimachos' Hymns
Brumbaugh, Michael (Assistant Professor of Classical Studies, Assistant Professor of Classical Studies, Tulane University)
This book details how Kallimachos' hymns individually and collectively examine the nature of power, authority, and good governance by situating these praise poems at the intersection of a literary tradition stretching back to archaic Greek poetry and a contemporary political discourse on kingship emerging in the early Hellenistic world.
