      This is an edition of the fragments of Timotheus of Miletus, a Greek lyric poet of the 5th and 4th centuries BC and one of the most important poets of the period. His description of the Battle of Salamis, a substantial portion of his "Persae", has been the most widely studied of his fragments. J.H. Hordern's text was based on close examination of the original papyrus. The minor fragments, most of which survive only as quotations in other ancient authors, are subjected to detailed treatment. The text of these, and the numeration throughout, are based on D.L. Page's "Poetae Melici Graeci" for ease of reference. A comprehensive commentary deals with both textual and literary points, offering both a complete metrical analysis and an explanatory discussion of each fragment. The extensive introduction, which includes a discussion of the archaeological context of the papyrus, provides a series of technical studies of Timotheus' language, dialect, style, and metre.
