Fragmenta Quae Reperiuntur (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781279547625)

Fragmenta Quae Reperiuntur offers a comprehensive collection of the extant fragments attributed to Philitas of Cos, a pivotal figure in Hellenistic poetry and scholarship. Compiled and edited by notable classical scholars Carl Philipp Kayser and Christian Gottlob Heyne, this volume gathers the scattered remnants of Philitas' work, providing invaluable insights into his poetic style, linguistic innovations, and influence on subsequent generations of writers.

Philitas, a poet and grammarian of the early Hellenistic period, served as a tutor to Ptolemy II Philadelphus and is celebrated for his elegiac poetry and his contributions to the development of literary criticism and grammar. Though much of his work is lost, the fragments preserved in this collection offer a glimpse into his sophisticated artistry and intellectual pursuits. This edition is an essential resource for scholars and students interested in Hellenistic literature, classical philology, and the cultural landscape of ancient Greece.
