Which work does the abbreviation Tim.Pers. stand for?

Post by ἑκηβόλος »

In the LSJ entry for ἀκτή (A), there is a reference to Tim.Pers.109. Whose and what is that work?

Thanks in advance.

Timotheos' Persians, partially extant on papyrus. Representative of the "New Music" (late 5th-4th cent. BCE), a hot topic right now.

See here for the text referenced:

mwh beat me to the punch, but I'm glad, because it gives me the chance to ask why it's a "hot topic right now."
“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”

Hard to say exactly, but it was bound to come. It would have come sooner had it not been for Wilamowitz’ and ancient critics’ disdain and general neglect of 4th-century verse. It’s mostly Italian. Not too much can be done without the music.

If you have any questions about abbreviations in the LSJ, they are explained here on the TLG version:

http://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/lsj/01-aut ... works.html

LeVen's book is especially good.
