Taking a fresh look at the poetry and visual art of the Hellenistic age, from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC to 20 BC, Graham Zanker makes enlightening discoveries about the assumptions and conventions of Hellenistic poets and artists and their audiences. Zanker offers exciting new interpretations by closely comparing poetry and art for the light each sheds on the other.

Reviews for Modes of Viewing in Hellenistic Poetry and Art

No other book currently exists that so systematically attempts to unite evidence from art and poetry to construct a Hellenistic mode of viewing. The originality of the work lies in the way it brings together material that is usually discussed in isolation. Alexander Sens, Georgetown University</p>
