Iambos: Philologische Untersuchungen Zur Geschichte Einer Gattung in Der Antike

Here, Lennartz presents for the first time his overall view of the antique genre of the Iambos: examining the Truth effect of the Solonic Iambic tradition and the integration of the Iambic Classics into the forms of discourse of the fifth century, together with the Archilochus and Hipponax questions, the Iambos Renaissance by Kallimachos and the Hellenists, the transformation of the Iambos into the Epigrammatic approach of Catullus, and the client-orientation of Horace as the Roman Archilochus. Iambos: Philological investigations on the history of a genre in Antiquity has been designed as a molecular reference work, while remaining a case study on the proliferation of a genre, that nevertheless exerts an influence beyond the boundaries of specialism.
