Simias of Rhodes (early third century BC) wrote epigrams and carmina figurata, which survived in
full besides a series of fragments from epyllia, hymns and elegiac poems. In § 1 especially, but not
exclusively, these fragments are examined in order to explain some peculiarities of Simias’ work,
which are typical of the Hellenistic poetry, such as the use of rare and difficult words, mixing of
literary genres and dialectal forms, recourse to allegory for his own poems, attitude towards the previous
authors (Homer, archaic epic, Hesiod, Pindar, Sophocles, Euripides), which is caused by desire
for imitation and by will to be different. In § 2 a commentary to Simias’ fragmentary poems is given
(the critical text by Fränkel and Powell is used, but several passages of it are discussed). The surviving
lines are enough to let us know something of Apollo’ and Gorgo’ content and plausibly suggest
that the first poem (§ 2. 1) was a hymn contaminated particularly with epyllion (PMich III 159
is to be assigned to it), the second (§ 2. 2) an epyllion with some love elegy features (fr. 3a, 6-11
FRÄNKEL= fr. 6 POWELL is highly likely to be an excerpt from it). Very short fragments are remnants
from hymns (§ 2. 3), from the elegy Months (§ 2. 4) and other unknown works (§ 2. 5).
