Schmitz Epigrammatic Communication in Callimachus’ Epigrams Thomas A. Schmitz URING THE LAST DECADE Hellenistic epigram has seen a steep surge in scholarly work.1 One important factor for this renewed interest was undoubtedly the publica- tion of the Milan papyrus containing what appears to be our earliest example of a collection of poems arranged and com- posed by one Hellenistic author, Posidippus of Pella; this dis- covery immediately spurred a minor industry of scholarly work.2 The recent publication of a number of important in- dividual works and collected volumes on epigram (both Hel- lenistic and archaic) indicates the vigorous interest of scholars.3 1 Callimachus is quoted here after the edition by Rudolf Pfeiffer (Oxford 1949–1953); translations are my own. 5 [1993]) 119–130, at 121–123; Meyer, Inszeniertes Lesevergnu ̈gen 214–215; on dialogue in Hellenistic epigram (both literary and inscriptional) see Anja Betten- worth, “The Mutual Influence of Inscribed and Literary Epigram,” in Bing/Bruss, Brill’s Companion 69–93, at 86–89.	cache/grbs-1521.pdf	txt/grbs-1521.txt
