Reprint of 1931 edition. ; The Garland Library of Latin Poetry; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 284 pages; "Epyllion" is the term coined by modern scholars for a relatively short poem on a mythological theme otherwise appropriate to longer epic. One of its recurrent characteristics is "ekphrasis", the telling of one myth encapsulated within the context of another, and the two thematically or symbolically linked to offer subtle comparison and contrast. The most persistent modes of "ekphrasis" are narrative by a character form, or the description of myth depicted on a work of art used in the context of the "outer" myth. The phenomenon has its origins in Homeric epic (the shield of Achilles) but was refined in the Hellenistic period by Callimachus and Theocritus, and taken up by the neoterics (Catullus 64). Its methods were absorbed back into long epic and form a dominant characteristic of Ovid's interweaving of myths in the "Metamorphoses". This book was originally published in 1931, and presents a chronological account of "epyllion" in English.

17134638London: Printed for E. Curll 1713. ii iv 60 105 3 4 ads frontispiece. Bound without the portrait of Creech found in some copies. Contemporary Cambridge-style panelled calf red morocco label. Lightly toned some soiling. Extremities rubbed a few scrapes joints cracking at head of spine. The first edition of Creech’s translation of Theocritus by the famously unscrupulous publisher Edmund Curll following its 1684 Oxford first appearance. Curll’s edition was reissued in 1721 with a cancel title-page suggesting that it did not sell as well as Curll may have hoped. The BL copy has two engraved portraits one of Creech and one of Theocritus but the copies in Leeds and Oxford appear to have only one so it may have been issued thus. ESTC T138189. Printed for E. Curll unknown
