Abstract:
Callimachus has a resurrected Hipponax dramatize his revival of archaic iambus by summoning a learned Alexandrian audience to hear a humble tale of Thales and his fellow sages. The strange blend of surly address and genial legend, all in bantering choliambs, offers more than a homily on modesty for contentious intellectuals. In its modulation of tone, theme, and mode, the first Iambus presents a paradigm for literary renewal. Both persona and embedded narrative demonstrate the symbiosis of poetry and its "well-read" muse, and the prospects that newly expanded intellectual and cultural horizons afford.

卡利马丘斯和七个贤哲(Iambus 1:fr。191 Pf。)
摘要:
卡利马丘斯(Callimachus)复活的希波纳克斯(Hipponax)通过召集一个学识渊博的亚历山大听众来听泰勒斯(Thales)和他的贤哲的卑鄙故事,戏剧化地再现了他的古老iambus。狡猾的讲话和和legend的传说的奇怪融合,都在嘲笑朱古力,不仅为有争议的知识分子提供了谦虚的谦卑。在对音调,主题和模式的调制中,第一部Iambus提出了文学更新的范式。人物角色和内在叙事都展示了诗歌的共生和“通俗易懂”的缪斯,以及新近扩展的知识和文化视野所带来的前景。
