This 1913 Latin treatise, "De Bacchylide Homeri imitatore," examines the influence of Homer on the poetry of Bacchylides.

The study provides valuable insights into the creative processes of ancient Greek poets and the intertextual relationships within classical literature. It will be of interest to scholars of classical literature, Greek poetry, and comparative literature, offering a detailed exploration of literary imitation in the ancient world.
