This book presents a renewed consideration of women’s poetry in ancient Greek literature by offering a detailed analysis of the works attributed to female poets from the Hellenistic era. These scarce and fragmented texts are translated and interpreted within the context of ancient Greece’s written traditions, especially within the framework of a potential women’s poetic tradition. This autonomous poetic heritage, presumably initiated by Sappho in the archaic period, is defined as a tradition of literary influence between women writers and their female forebears, all of whom – scholarship has argued – focused collectively, and exclusively, on feminine values, concerns, and experiences.
