TARÁN, Sonya Lida, The Art of Variation the Hellenistic Epigram. Brill, Leiden, 1979. XII,183p. Cloth. With private summary from WGA loosely inserted. Nice copy.'It is a perceptive and persuasive monograph, partly because it starts from the correct premise that the literary epigrams of the Ptolemaic age cannot be fully understood without a proper appreciation of the techniques of allusion, imitation, and variation in alexandrian poetry. (...) Convincing in her detection of sources and relationships, judicious in her interpretations of some difficult Greek, and sensitive to the stylistic individuality of the authors, she combines traditional scholarship with literary insight.'
