Talk:Kallimachos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I did some revision of this entry, correcting the factual error that he was chief librarian, mentioning his feud with his student Apollonius Rhodius, his stylistic preference for the new very-short poetic style vs. the epic, and tried to cut down that disconnected floating-in-the-void sense a little by mentioning his patron and placing him in the Hellenistic period. I also used a spelling that's a little more accurate than Latinized Callimachus. I'm sure there are other edits that can be made - I would love some better sources re: his influence on Latin poets, which I don't know much about. Aophite 07:15, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
