Description

Aglaia: The Poetry of Alcman, Sappho, Pindar, Bacchylides, and Corinna is a landmark collection of essays by renowned classicist Charles Segal. Published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, this work offers detailed analyses of major texts from archaic and early classical Greek poetry. Segal provides close readings of poets including Alcman, Mimnermus, Sappho, Pindar, Bacchylides, and Corinna. The text explores the literary form and language of early Greek lyric, the poets' views on their art, and the use of mythical paradigms. By examining the relation of these poems to their social context, Segal identifies a recurring theme: the recognition of the fragility and brevity of mortal happiness.
