Description

Works WITH Works (Tryphiodorus) AND Works (Oppian). Tr. fr. Greek A.W. Mair A collection of ancient Greek poetic works, featuring Oppian's Fishing and The Chase, alongside the epic poems of Colluthus and Tryphiodorus. Oppian's Fishing is a five-book treatise on the habits and characteristics of fish, as well as practical instructions for fishing. This edition includes extensive zoological and ichthyological notes to enhance understanding. In contrast, Oppian's The Chase, dedicated to Caracalla, is considered an inferior work and may be attributed to a Syrian imitator. The collection also features the extant works of Colluthus and Tryphiodorus, including Colluthus' Rape of Helen and Tryphiodorus' Taking of Troy. These poems provide valuable insights into ancient Greek culture and literature.
