Texts

Χαίροιθ᾽ οἱ περὶ κόσμον ἀεὶ πεπλανηκότες ὄμμα,
οἳ τ᾽ ἀπ᾽ Ἀριστάρχου σῆτες ἀκανθολόγοι.
ποῖ γὰρ ἐμοὶ ζητεῖν, τίνας ἔδραμεν ἥλιος οἴμους,
καὶ τίνος ἦν Πρωτεὺς, καὶ τίς ὁ Πυγμαλίων;

γινώσκοιμ᾽ ὅσα λευκὸν ἔχει στίχον ἡ δὲ μέλαινα
ἱστορίη τήκοι τοὺς Περικαλλιμάχους.

— Paton edition

Farewell ye whose eyes ever range over the
universe, and ye thorn-gathering book-worms of
Aristarchus’ school. What serves it me to enquire
what path the Sun has run, and whose son was
Proteus and who Pygmalion ? Let me know works
whose lines are clear, but let dark lore waste away
the devotees of Callimachus.
