Colin Austin (1941–2010), a renowned Professor of Greek at Cambridge and a distinguished editor of poetic texts, left a lasting legacy through his scholarship. This collection of studies, presented by his pupils, seeks to honor his memory and continues his work in philology, textual criticism, and literary and cultural context. The papers explore various aspects of Greek literature, including the establishment of the text of the comic poet Menander and the epigrammatist Posidippus of Pella, a new critical edition and commentary on erotic epigrams, poetic, performative, and narratological features in Socratic works of Plato and Xenophon, and an analysis of the trope of pathetic fallacy in the bucolic poem Epitaph for Bion and a study of the concept of 'frigidity in ancient literary criticism.
