The Alexandrian poets with their odd combination of scholarly interest in remote detail and poetical inspiration inaugurate a new period in Greek literature. Knowledge of their techniques is also indispensable for a proper understanding of Latin poetry in the Augustan age. Extensive portions of Callimachus, Apollonius of Rhodes, and Theocritus are read and due attention given to the society that enjoyed these products of art for its own sake.
