	Mimnermus
		Mimnermus finishes by blaming this state of affairs on the immortal gods, since in poem #1 "Such a painful thing god has made of old age".
		Additionally, the poems differ regarding the details of what befalls the aged; in poem #1, Mimnermus states that a man becomes "hateful to boys" and "dishonoured by women" in his old age, whereas poem #2 lists more serious consequences, such as poverty, grieving over one’s lack of children, and "soul-destroying disease".
		From this point on, we are treated rather to Mimnermus’ unhappy views on the aging process.

	Mimnermus
		Mimnermus of Colophon, Greek elegiac poet, flourished about 630[?]-600 BC.
		His life fell in the troubled time when the Ionic cities of Asia Minor were struggling to maintain themselves against the rising power of the Lydian kings.
		But his most important poems were a set of elegies addressed to a flute player named Nanno, collected in two books called after her name.

		MIMNERMUS of Colophon, Greek elegiac poet, flourished about 630-600 B.C. His life fell in the troubled time when the Ionic cities of Asia Minor were struggling to mantain themselves against the rising power of the Lydian kings.
		But his most important poems were a set of elegies addressed to a fluteplayer named Nanno, collected in two books called after her name.
		Mimnermus was the first to make the elegiac verse the vehicle for love-poetry.

		In this light, Mimnermus stands with Hipponax and Antimachus as an early poet whose exiguous literary remains are overshadowed by an exalted reputation.
		That our understanding of Mimnermus does not emerge radically altered should not be regarded as a failing; A.'s achievement lies in the collection and consolidation of the pertinent material, thus providing a firm basis for future scholarship.
		So far as Mimnermus' writings are concerned, A. contends plausibly that the Alexandrian edition filled no more than a single papyrus roll and that Nanno was a general title for the collection of Mimnermus' poems which comprised not only erotic and sympotic elegy, but also the Smyrneis.

		The numerous compositions of Mimnermus (Suidas, who calls him M(ue/ty**/os, says eypatye fii§\ia iro\\d) were preserved for several centuries, comprised in two books, until they were burnt, together with most of the other monuments of the erotic poetry of the Greeks, by the Byzantine monks.
		Archiilochus had, indeed, occasionally employed the elegy for strains of lamentation, but Mimnermus was the first who systematically made it the vehicle for plaintive, mournful, and erotic strains.
		Since the character which Mimnermus gave to elegiac poetry remained ever after its predominant characteristic, he is sometimes erroneously spoken of as the inventor of the elegy.

		He was a flute-player as well as a poet,1 and in setting his poems to music he made use of the plaintive melody called the Nomos kradias.
		The doctrines inculcated are sound, often original and striking ; are expressed with a vigor and terseness sometimes bordering on abruptness, and are illustrated by some spirited imagery.
		He comments, in equally emphatic but less querulous terms than Mimnermus, on the ephemeral nature of human enjoyments ; dwells on the blessings of a clear conscience and a contented mind; condemning the insatiable thirst of mortals for the possession of a happiness beyond their reach, and their wayward caprice in its pursuit.

		Accordingly, a new edition of Mimnermus with full commentary--the first devoted solely to this poet--needs no justification.
		Mimnermus' A)/TIMASTOS GUNAICI/N is very likely sound, but I crave some discussion of the meaning of the phrase.
		A. rejects the view that Mimnermus is here referring to ignorance of evil (or ignorance of the difference between good and evil), preferring to see in the passage a reference to "ignorance of imminent, fateful evil" (p.

	What is Elegy?
		This rhythm seems to have commended itself for use in poems on a scale smaller than epic, although long narrative poems in elegiac couplets are not unknown: Semonides is said to have used the metre for his History of Samos, and Mimnermus used it for his Smyrneis.
		The poem may be as short [as] an epigram, but in many cases it is much longer; Solon 13 attains a length of 76 lines, and it is attested that his Salamis was of a hundred.
		Mimnermus wrote a Smyrneis, which apparently told the tale of the Smyrnaeans' victory against Gyges; Simonides wrote an elegy on the battle of Salamis.

		But perhaps the little fancy called “Mimnermus in Church” is the best known, and the one which will best serve to introduce us to the character of Cory.
		Mimnermus was an old Greek philosopher and poet who thought that all things in the world are temporary, that all hope of a future life is vain, that there is nothing worth existing for except love, and that without affection one were better dead.
		The melancholy of the latter part of the composition is the same melancholy to be found in “Mimnermus in Church,” the first of Cory’s poems which we read together.

		Two hermeneutical issues in early Greek lyric, with special reference to Mimnermus.
		In this section he begins with a text and translation of frr.1 and 2 of Mimnermus, together with a commentary on selected passages.
		In conclusion, a number of the points Slings makes are problematic, such as his assumption that Solon must have been eighty when in fr.20 he responded to Mimnermus' wish to die at sixty, but on the whole this pamphlet is more valuable than many books containing hundreds of pages.

		In the course of working on Aoidoi.org, I find myself regularly running into nasty problems of copyright.
		For now, I have used only Tyler's versions of the texts, even when the reading is, to my admittedly inexperienced eye, inferior to readings given in Campbell's book.
		I have given Campbell's readings in the notes for two lines so far, which I of course attribute to him (once for Mimnermus, Nanno 1, line 4 [1], one word order change in Anacreon).

	Heinen: Propertius IV: Callimachus Reborn in Rome
		Scholars have examined the influence of Mimnermus and Callimachus on Propertius, but most commentators note only a tenuous link between Propertius' last book and the subject matter of such Roman antiquarians as Varro, Cornelius Nepos, and Dionysius of Halicarnassus.
		The purpose of this paper is to re-examine Propertius' title as Callimachus Romanus through the use of diction in order to uncover a close relationship to antiquarian literature.
		He shifts from "learned Athens" (III.21.1) and the Alexandrian ascetic, and moves towards the Roman counterparts of Mimnermus and Philetas of Cos.

		{2} The story-teller is no Mimnermus, Love and Youth are the best things he knew,--"deport du viel caitif,"-- and now he has "come to forty years," and now they are with him no longer.
		But he does not lament like Mimnermus, like Alcman, like Llwyarch Hen.
		May I die!" says Mimnermus, "when I am no more conversant with these, with secret love, and gracious gifts, and the bed of desire." And Alcman, when his limbs waver beneath him, is only saddened by the faces and voices of girls, and would change his lot for the sea-birds." {3}

		For most of my time in the reading room, I look over the Greek or make a vocabulary list, but overall, I don't get much done.
		I suppose that I can attribute my lack of motivation to not being able to really connect to Herodotus in the way that I have been able to connect with some Greek poets, such as Mimnermus or Philodemos.
		Their language seems near to me in a way so that I can easily hear how the tonal qualities would be reproduced in English.
