Hey, this is actually kinda useful for me. Thanks for the link!

(PS - I found out that the Callimachus Loeb is really out of date, which is probably why you are having trouble getting a hold of it. However, This scholar's work on Callimachus is unparalleled. He's ruddy brilliant. There are also a fair number of used copies floating around the internet, so list price can certainly be beat. Good luck!)

I got the Callimachus Loeb. Like, a week ago :-P

thanks for the info though i'll have to check it out.

PPS - I just thought I would add that it's missing some things from the Classical perspective, which could be upsetting if you're into that sort of thing. But yeah, still useful.

Both volumes? Cool! We had copies at our bookshop on campus, but they were snapped up during a sale.

If you're really into Callimachus, I would recommend that book above all other translations. Nisetich not only knows his shit from a philological perspective, but he organises the fragments into what he's reconstructed as the books they were from. The translation is also in verse, which is certainly appreciated.

Anyway, yeah :)

there's another volume of Callimachus in Loeb?

This is the only one I found. It's Callimachus's Hymns & Epigrams, plus Lycophron's Phaenomena and Andratus's Alexandra.

the book or the website?

Either way, i'm sure i'll get over it, there are bajillions of other resources out there to fill in the gaps.

[sherarara.livejournal.com]

Sorry, website.

[sherarara.livejournal.com]

Yup! There are totally two.

There's the one you have - Volume II. Hymns, Epigrams. Phaenomena. Alexandra (Loeb vol. 129) and another one, Volume I. Aetia, Iambi, Hecale and Other Fragments. Hero and Leander (Loeb vol. 421).

You can browse the entire Loeb Classical Library on Harvard's website . . .
