Recent papyri have greatly increased our understanding of how Theocritus read archaic poetry, and these new discoveries are fully drawn on in a set of readings that will change the way we look at Hellenistic poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939416178976,"sku":"NEW0521560403","price":98.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/theocritus-and-the-archaeology-of-greek-poetry-0521560403","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
