330 .. $a "In this book, Francis Cairns provides scholars of Hellenistic and Roman literature
with an overview of Hellenistic epigram, a field closely related to other Hellenistic
poetry and highly influential upon Roman poetry. In fourteen themed chapters it foregrounds
the literary, linguistic, historical, epigraphic, social, political, ethnic, cultic,
onomastic, local, topographical and patronage contexts within which Hellenistic epigrams
were composed. Many epigrams are analysed in detail and new interpretations of them
proposed. Throughout the question is asked whether epigrams are literary jeux d'esprit
(as is often assumed without proper discussion) or whether they relate to real people
and real events and have a function in the real world. That function may be epigraphic,
e.g. an epigram can be the epitymbion for inscription at someone's grave, or the anathematikon
for inscription on or beside a dedicated object, or a picture-label--an ekphrasis
to accompany a painting or mosaic."--Dust jacket
