Hartigan, Karelisa
The Poets and the Cities

Selections from the Anthology about Greek Cities.

In this monograph Karelisa Hartigan examined the epigrams in the 'Palatine Anthology' about Greek cities. The majority of these date from the Hellenistic and early Byzantine periods, from ca. 300 B.C. to ca. 600 A.D. The purpose of the study is to see how the epigrammatist viewed his city, thus telling us what a Greek poet of these periods considered important about his urban surroundings. Herein this book have attempted to show what aspects about a city attracted a poet and in what way he expressed his interest. In each section will be found a brief discussion of the city's history, the epigrams, and a poetical analysis.
