Synopsis
Contributing Authors

In his study of didactic poetry in Hellenistic Greece, Leonardo Cazzadori explores the intellectual history of the concept of “didactic” poetry, analyses the cultural background of the poems (fourth to second centuries B.C.), and examines the poems’ rhetorical strategies in popularizing scientific discourse and describing the natural world.
