Simonides is tantalising and enigmatic, known both from fragments and from an extensive
tradition of anecdotes. This monograph, the first in English for a generation, employs
a two-part diachronic approach: Richard Rawles first reads Simonidean fragments with
attention to their intertextual relationship with earlier works and traditions, and
then explores Simonides through his ancient reception. In the first part, interactions
between Simonides' own poems and earlier traditions, both epic and lyric, are studied
in his melic fragments and then in his elegies. The second part focuses on an important
strand in Simonides' ancient reception, concerning his supposed meanness and interest
in remuneration. This is examined in Pindar's Isthmian 2, and then in Simonides' reception
up to the Hellenistic period. The book concludes with a full re-interpretation of
Theocritus 16, a poem which engages both with Simonides' poems and with traditions
about his life
