An ancient Greek philologist and grammarian from Ephesus in Asia Minor. A student of the literary scholar Philetas, he became the first director of the Library of Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy II, and edited the texts of poets such as Homer, Hesiod, Anacreon, and Pindar. Although his approach was quite subjective, he made a particularly great contribution by creating a "Dictionary" of Homer, and by comparatively studying various manuscripts to provide the first academically based edits.

古代ギリシアの文献学者、文法家。小アジアのエフェソス出身。文学者フィレタスの弟子で、プトレマイオス2世の時代にアレクサンドリアの図書館の初代館長となり、ホメロス、ヘシオドス、アナクレオン、ピンダロスなどの詩人のテキストの校訂をした。その態度はかなり主観的ではあるが、とくにホメロスの『語典』をつくり、諸写本を比較研究して、初めて学問的に校訂した功績は大きい。 [引地正俊] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
