Abstract

Ralph Marcellino has hidden, for all but classicists, a long series of meticulously polished rhymed verse in the Classical Bulletin and the Classical Outlook. Bobbs Merrill published his Martial: Selected Epigrams (a ne plus ultra, in my judgment) in 1968. This winter, he has, on his own, published a chapbook of some sixty‐five poems from the Greek Anthology.
