  • Philodemus, On Poems, Books 3-4. with the fragments of Aristotle, On Poets. Oxford University Press, 2010. 648p. Hardback. Series: Philodemus Translation Series. Limitations of space made it impossible for me to describe the details of Janko's interpretations of the texts he presents (from both Philodemus and Aristotle) or how his views differ from those of other scholars. Nor can I successfully convey the amount of painstaking work that Janko went through to produce this superb volume. I do hope, however, that my description of this volume makes clear how valuable it is, not only to scholars of Philodemus but to anyone interested in Aristotle's poetics and Hellenistic literary criticism.
