Lykophron: Alexandra - Hornblower, Simon (Former Senior Research Fellow, Senior Research Fellow, All Souls College, University of Oxford)

The Alexandra attributed to Lykophron is a minor poetic masterpiece, and one of the most important and notoriously difficult Greek poems dating from the Hellenistic period. As well as providing the Greek text in full and its English translation, this volume provides the first ever full-length commentary in English on the poem.
