This book comprises an analysis of the Aitia, a large, cyclical poem of uncertain length by the third-century BC Hellenistic poet, Callimachus, with the aim of elucidating the origin of religious festivals, cults, and customs. The poem was a collection of elegies, varying in subject and length, which explored the causation and foundation of numerous Hellenic traditions. The author provides a detailed account of the structure and content of each, as well as its literary and historical context.
