 The Hecale of Callimachus was perhaps the most brilliant, imaginative, and enjoyable example of the learned Greek poetry written in Ptolemaic Alexandria. Set in Attica, and full of local colour, it described how the hero Theseus was entertained by an old woman, Hecale, on the night before he captured the monstrous bull of Marathon. The complete poem may have survived until about AD 1200, but then was lost; substantial fragments have been rediscovered in the last hundred years. This edition aims to present and discuss in detail our current knowledge of the Hecale, together with new ideas and material (e.g. allusion and imitations in later Greek and Latin poets) which may facilitate further progress. One of the appendices tentatively ascribes ten new fragments to the Hecale; another discusses the wider history of the Hospitality Theme

This edition presents and examines in detail the Hecale of Callimachus, perhaps the most brilliant, imaginative, and enjoyable example of Greek poetry in Ptolemaic Alexandria. Set in Attica and full of local color, the poem describes how the hero Theseus was entertained by an old woman, Hecale, on the night before he captured the monstrous bull at Marathon. Drawing on important new discoveries, this edition contains the most complete and up-to-date collection of texts and testimonia on the Hecale and discusses allusions to and imitations of the poem in later Greek and Latin poetry
