There is, as it were, a break in the continuity between the classical period of Greek literature and the corresponding period of Latin literature ; the latter does not grow directly out of the former. Catullus poem on the marriage of Thetis and Peleus, the elegies of Propertius, Ovids Metamorphoses, his Tristia and Heroides, are not direct outgrowths of Homer, Mimnermus and Theognis, or of Sophocles. In the interval which separates the two classical periods there grew up an intermediate literature which generally goes by the name of Alexandrian. Nothing further need be adduced to make clear the importance of Alexandrian poetry, or to show that anyone who wishes to be conversant with the history of ancient literature cannot afford to neglect one of its most important periods.
