My friend @ashmakesmovies.bsky.social made a wonderful short film from one of my Callimachus poems @princetonupress.bsky.social and I'm crying. You might cry too (complimentary). www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoQj...

Opening actions for Marathon.
Greeks advance in a right oblique.

Callimachus falls dead, as the Persians hold position and loose arrows, hitting true the left of the Greek line.

Miltiades is positioned on the right.

Hymn to Apollo

"What force, what sudden impulse thus can make
The laurel-branch, and all the temple shake!
Depart ye souls profane; hence, hence! O fly"

Callimachus Aetia fr. 54c also describes the invention of the mousetrap by Molorcus (only 3rd century BCE, so much later than your Kahun example, but the oldest written reference I know of): dcc.dickinson.edu/callimachus-...

Today I have written about Virgil remembering (and forgetting) older songs.
All these songs I have forgotten
On Virgil, Callimachus, Homer, Heraclitus, Shakespeare and Seamus Heaney

What we have is the product of 1000s of years of diligent study and care. If you find yourself wanting to sad post about the Library of Alexandria, consider instead reading the surviving Hymns of Callimachus.

It is a part of the catalog of the library of Alexandria written by Callimachus and now mostly lost.

But if we could have just one lost item back it would easily be the "Pinakes" of Callimachus.

Callimachus was a librarian who catalogued the library by subject, author, with a summary of each book's contents — the first time it was ever done in the West...

If you loved “Mermaids Eating Oysters” today, co-authored by Stephanie Burt, do read Stephanie’s “Callimachus Against Himself”! ☔️

I’m working on beefing up my portfolio with speculative commercial work like book covers. I like the orange and green, but here’s some other variations that I think read more minimalist than illustrative 🏺💐 #bookart #coverart

Listening to a lecture from TCD and struck by the passage from Callimachus' Hymn to Delos (228-39) in which Iris is compared to one of Artemis' hounds in Her zealous attention to Hera, awaiting Her command. topostext.org/work/123.

I’m spending too long on this relatively common edition of Callimachus because I really want to find the right words to say something meaningful about what it means to work on a fragmentary author—whose fragments are still being discovered! Nearly every edition is a new contribution to the puzzle.
