	John Tzetzes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Tzetzes supplemented Homer's Iliad by a work that begins with the birth of Paris and continues the tale to the returns of the Achaeans home.
		Tzetzes also wrote commentaries on a number of Greek authors, the most important of which is that on the Cassandra or Alexandra of Lycophron (ed.

		Symonds writes that "Hesiod is also the immediate parent of gnomic verse, and the ancestor of those deep thinkers who speculated in the Attic Age upon the mysteries of human life".
		John Addington Symonds was the name of a father and son, both English writers.
		One, as early as Thucydides, reported in Plutarch, the Suda and John Tzetzes, states that the Delphic oracle warned Hesiod that he would die in Nemea, and so he fled to Locris, where he was killed at the local temple to Nemean Zeus, and buried there.

	Lycophron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was very popular in the Byzantine period, and was read and commented on very frequently; the collection of scholia by Isaac and John Tzetzes is very valuable, and the manuscripts of the Cassandra are numerous.
		A few well-turned lines which have been preserved from Lycophron's tragedies show a much better style; they are said to have been much admired by Menedemus of Eretria, although the poet had ridiculed him in a satyric drama.
		The commentaries of the brothers Tzetzes have been edited by Otfried Müller (1811).

		Likewise, John Chrysostom was haranguing the people of Antioch in AD379 when he said that the temple still held copies of the Greek Old Testament which he claims Ptolemy II Philadelphus deposited there[66].
		John Tzetzes is often said to state that the Ptolemies founded the Serapeum library[67], but unfortunately he never actually mentions the Serapeum by name, instead referring to an outer or public library.
		Socrates is embarrassed to have to report her murder[80], John of Nikiou revels in it[81] and the Suda[82] gives a few more details that need to be treated with the same caution as everything else in that Byzantine encyclopaedia.

	Roman Emperors DIR Bertha of Sulzbach
		She commissioned works such as John Tzetzes' Allegories of the Iliad (he had also dedicated his Chiliades to her), a summary of the Iliad in simple Greek verse to enable her to become acquainted with the work of Homer.
		Tzetzes addressed the work to her as 'the most powerful and "Homeric" lady Irene of Germany' and describes her as the moon, wishing to illumine Homer.
		She had promised him four gold coins a folio, but Tzetzes felt he was not suitably recompensed by the empress' steward Megalonas for his hard work as he had filled the folios with especially small hand-writing; after a violent dispute Tzetzes was refused payment and he stopped work.

	languagehat.com: TZETZES.
		A post of Caterina's reminded me of one of my favorite Byzantines, John Tzetzes (c.1110-c.1180), a poor boy (of ethnic Georgian background) who scrabbled his way to a precarious position in Constantinopolitan literary society and wrote an enormous amount, valuable to scholars for its copious quotations from otherwise lost works.
		For most of the rest of his life he gained a poor livelihood by teaching and writing, though for a time he enjoyed the patronage of a lady of the imperial family, and had the sons of distinguished men as his pupils...
		Tzetzes was a very erudite man, and at the same time as vain and touchy as a child.

		The picture of the aged hero, deprived of his eyes, and reduced to beggary by the ingratitude of his imperial master, and seeking individual charity in the memorable words, Dale obolune Belisario, is familiar to every school-boy as a touching example of the inconstancy of fortune.
		Yet it is a story inconsistent with the facts of history, invented apparently several centuries after the period at which it was supposed to have occurred, and first mentioned by John Tzetzes, a Greek writer of no authority, who lived in the twelfth century.
		He was the son of John and Winifred Gregory, who were, says Fuller, 'honest though mean (poor), yet rich enough to derive unto him the hereditary infirmity of the gout.'

		Her treatment of Adrian Hollis' edition of Callimachus, Hecale is particularly valuable for showing in miniature how commentators and editors tend to approach fragmentary texts in a manner which offers little help to inexperienced readers and redundant material for serious scholars.
		Stephens is also cautious about the use of Latin in the editing of texts, and of course the edition of the fragments of the Greek novels published by Stephens herself and John J. Winkler illustrates admirably how it is possible to produce an critical apparatus in English.
		One thinks also of a joint-authored commentary such as A.J. Woodman and R.H. Martin, The Annals of Tacitus, Book 3 (Cambridge 1996), where disagreements between the two authors are helpfully indicated by the use of initials.
