 Greek Epigram in the Roman Empire
Martial's Forgotten Rivals
Gideon Nisbet
Oxford Classical Monographs
The first substantial treatment of Greek satirical epigram in the Imperial era.
Balances close readings of particular epigrams against wider issues of historiography and the limits of interpretation

Description
Satirical, or 'skoptic', epigram emerged as a distinctive new sub-genre of Greek literature in the Roman empire (the mid-first century CE) and flourished for at least a century. It was imitated by Martial, but it is now rarely read. In this book, the first substantial treatment of the subject, Gideon Nisbet rehabilitates skoptic epigram, introduces its authors, gives an account of its development, and situates it within its cultural context. He also suggests striking new ways of reading ancient epigram and examines satire's engagement with gender, identity, and power.
