	ALCAEUS - LoveToKnow Article on ALCAEUS
		Alcaeus was allotted the second place among the nine lyric poets in the Alexandrian canon.
		The considerable number of fragments extant, and the well-known imitations of Horace, who regarded Alcaeus as his great model, enable us to form a fair idea of the character of his poems.
		See Bergk, Poetae Lyrici Graeci (1882); also The Songs of Alcaeus,' by J. Easby-Smith (Washington, 1901); Plehn, Lesbiacorum Liber (1826); Flach, Geschichte der griechischen Lyrik (1883-1884); Farriell, Creek Lyric Poets (1891).

		Two recensions of the works of Alcaeus were made by the grammarians Aristarchus and Aristophanes.
		The metres of Alcaeus were generally lively, and his poems seem to have been constructed in short single strophes, in all of which the corresponding lines were of the same metre, as in the odes of Horace.
		His likeness is preserved, together with that of Pittacus, on a brass coin of Mytilene in the Royal Museum at Paris, which is engraved by Visconti.

	The Personal Song, from Gilbert Murray's Ancient Greek Literature
		ALCAEUS spent his life in wars, first against Athens for the possession of Sigêum, where, like Archilochus, he left his shield for the enemy to dedicate to Athena; then against the democratic tyrant Melanchrôs and his successor Myrsilos.
		Sappho and Alcaeus are often represented together on vases, and the idea of a romance between them was inevitable.
		In Alcaeus it embraces all sides of an adventurous and perhaps patriotic life; in Sappho it expresses with a burning intensity the inner life, the passions that are generally silent; in Anacreon it spreads out into light snatches of song about simple enjoyments, sensual and imaginative.

	Sappho's Feminine Voice
		By comparing Sappho's works to male contemporaries, Hesiod and Alcaeus, it can be illustrated that her poems have a femininity to them that her male counterparts do not.
		In comparison her works to Hesiod and Alcaeus, it is indeed apparent that the world Sappho lived in was very distinct.
		One would imagine that if Hesiod or Alcaeus were to have read one of Sappho's works, the world she revealed would indeed have seemed foreign to them.

	Transmission of Archaic Greek Sympotic Songs: from Lesbos to Alexandria
		Moreover, given the traditional date assigned to the time when Alcaeus flourished, around 600 BCE, Rösler argues that the songs of this poet must have been the product of an era so early that the technology of writing was not yet generally used for either the composition or even the recording of songs.
		If indeed Alcaeus is primarily a sympotic figure, as conveyed in the varieties of ethos that are being acted out in the songs attributed to him, then it is all the more natural for any sympotic performer of Alcaeus to have a relatively strong sense of identification with him in performance.
		Examples: in Alcaeus F 129, Alcaeus puts a curse on Pittakos; in F 130, he speaks from exile; in F 141, he predicts that the city will soon be overthrown.

		Although this choice is understandable, one can wonder whether, especially for the texts with critical signs, they should not have been included (or at least mentioned, for example in an appendix), since critical signs are themselves exegesis, and moreover one of the most interesting kinds.
		The introduction on Alcaeus (CLGP, 75-80) is in this respect extremely good; it gives a general picture of ancient exegesis on Alcaeus, linking papyrological evidence with the historical and cultural context of Alexandrian scholarship.
		However, the introduction by Porro should be a model for the future editors of the next volumes of CLGP; assessing the importance and value of this evidence and putting it into a wider context are fundamental steps in order to reach a wider audience and raise interest for these technical and often fragmentary texts.

		Aristotle implies that the first line was a poem by Alcaeus, and that the second section was an answering poem by Sappho.
		The more generally accepted view is that of an ancient commentator, who attributed all of the above lines to Sappho: in this view, Sappho wrote a poem in which she reported a conversation between herself and Alcaeus.
		The first line is what Sappho attributes to Alcaeus; the second group of lines is what she reports as her answer to him.

		B: each taxon has a row of four large submedian pale blocks on the FW; on alcaeus the lowermost block has its basal edge aligned below the third block, creating overlap; on carlos the lowermost block has its basal edge beyond the outer limit of the third block, thus having no overlap.
