	Herodas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Herodas (Greek: 'Ηρωδας), or Herondas (the name is spelt differently in the few places where he is mentioned), Greek poet, the author of short humorous dramatic scenes in verse, written under the Alexandrian empire in the 3rd century BC.
		The method is entirely Alexandrian: Sophron had written in a peculiar kind of rhythmical prose; Theocritus uses the hexameter and Doric, Herodas the scazon or "lame" iambic (with a dragging spondee at the end) and the old Ionic dialect with which that curious metre was associated.
		Some of these had been perfected no doubt upon the Attic stage, where the tendency in the 4th century had been gradually to evolve accepted types--not individuals, but generalizations from a class, an art in which Menander's was esteemed the master-hand.

		What Theocritus is doing there, Herodas, his younger contemporary, is doing in another manner - casting old material into novel form, upon a small scale, under strict conditions of technique.
		But the grumbling metre and quaint language suit the tone of common life which Herodas aims at realizing; for, as Theocritus may be called idealist, Herodas is a realist unflinching.

		The works of these writers, which Plato admired and imitated, are lost, but it is believed that they were little plays, usually with only two performers.
		The rediscovered mimes of Herodas (Herondas) give us some idea of their scope.
		Plato further simplified the form, and reduced it to pure argumentative conversation, while leaving intact the amusing element of character-drawing.

		If the Loeb editors choose to seek a fourth edition of this volume it will not be out of need to dispense with R's efforts: his introduction, text, and translation of the Characters are an outstanding contribution to the LCL and should remain enormously useful to students and scholars for the foreseeable future.
		The LCL could not have hoped to obtain a better textual editor for Herodas and the mime fragments than C. His 1971 Oxford edition and commentary of Herodas is the fullest and most useful for English speakers; his 1987 Teubner of Herodas and mime fragments the standard text.
		This text of Herodas is a much more liberally supplemented version of C's Teubner, and the translation much more so than the second Loeb edition.

		From the second century A.D. until the end of the nineteenth, virtually nothing was known of Herodas or his work.
		In 1891 an Egyptian papyrus roll was published with seven virtually complete poems together with fragments of two others, and thus this minor Hellenistic poet, contemporary with Callimachus and Theocritus, and his unique dramatic sketches of scenes from daily life, was restored to the canon of ancient Greek literature.
		The volume includes separate word-indexes for Herodas and the papyrus fragments.

		David Kutzko returned to one of the “Tombstone” poems, “In the Month of Athyr,” as he examined Cavafy’s view of Herodas’ fragmentariness.
		He also showed how Cavafy’s joke on the “wounded” meter of Herodas points to Herodas’ own self-reflexive allusion to his meter in Mimiambi 1.66-67.
		Benjamin Acosta-Hughes also treated “In the Month of Athyr” in comparing how Callimachus and Cavafy treat memories of objects, poetic voices, and bodies.
