Book Overview
Carminum Quae Supersunt Fragmenta presents the surviving fragments of the poetry of Mimnermus of Colophon, a Greek elegist of the 7th century BC. This collection offers invaluable insights into early Greek lyric poetry, reflecting themes of love, loss, aging, and the pleasures and pains of life. Although only fragments of Mimnermus's work remain, they are prized for their expressive language and vivid imagery, providing a window into the social and cultural values of archaic Greece.
Edited and compiled to preserve these remnants of ancient literature, this volume is essential for scholars and students interested in classical literature, Greek history, and the development of poetic forms. The fragments showcase Mimnermus's contributions to the elegiac tradition and his enduring influence on subsequent poets and writers.
