Acerca deste livro eletrónico
Flourishing in the seventh century BC, Alcman was a choral lyric poet from Sparta. He was the earliest representative of the Alexandrian canon of the Nine Lyric Poets and composed poetry in the local Doric dialect, with Homeric influences. The extant fragments reveal that his verses were mostly hymns composed in long stanzas, comprising lines of varying metres. Alcman’s poetry is noted for its clear, light and pleasant tone, while employing rich visual description. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts.
