	Callimachus
		Instead, Callimachus urged poets to "drive their wagons on untrodden fields," rather than following in the well worn tracks of Homer, idealizing a form of poetry that was brief, yet carefully formed and worded, a style at which he excelled.
		Callimachus also wrote poems in praise of his royal patron and a wide variety of other poetic styles, as well as prose and criticism.
		Because of Callimachus' strong stance against the epic, he and his younger student Apollonius of Rhodes, who favored epic and wrote the Argonautica, had a long and bitter feud, trading barbed comments, insults, and ad hominem attacks for over thirty years.

		The author concludes that the reason Callimachus chose Hipponax, and not the more obvious Archilochus, as his model was the scazon, Hipponax' metrical innovation that never lost its "iambic" character, as opposed to the trimeter, which had come to be used for any topic and tone.
		What is more noteworthy, I believe, is the very fact that Callimachus chose to begin his new book of iambic verse with the supernatural appearance of one of the great archaic poets and the inventor of the meter of the inaugural poem.
		Callimachus acts as Hipponax preaches and ingeniously surpasses the mordant speaker of the poem" (p.

		To-day, we think about cora cruadha an tsaoil as we lay to rest a great artist, a sculptor and a great man. A man whose integrity was unique and for which he paid the price of a difficult life, too close to poverty, too far from the favour of that establishment which constantly renews itself.
		He was a great sculptor, one on speaking terms with the gods of wood and stone.
		A sculptor who never abandoned the figurative and in whose work that great Irish tradition lives on - though he was as daringly modern and experimental within it as anyone could wish.

		Speculations persist in the modern era that Callimachus did not possess the Gift at all, but his charismatic presence attracted numerous Hermetic followers shortly after the founding of the Order, and there can be little doubt that their current members are flourishing Magi.
		Although few of their founder's pieces survive, they are coveted by the House, and their members (of whom Lysistratus was most well known, a sculptor who was the first to combine clay and gypsum) often pursue metaphysics and philosophy with their powers.
		Each Magus of Callimachus accepts a single mundane art or craft and devotes much of their time to its pursuit (the more inventive even create their own unique forms, as did Lysistratus).
