Abstract

According to Orion (5th century) and Photius (9th century), Chrestomathiae, the work of fourth-century Egyptian author Helladius of Antinoe, included some sections in iambic metre. Modern criticism, however, has assumed this metre for the whole work. This article aims to demonstrate that a literal reading of the sources indicates that they limit the use of iambus to the preface. As for the form of the rest of the work, certain evidences, both indicated by the sources and contained in it, lead us to think that it was written in prose. Finally, taking into account the content of the work and its formal structure, we try to place Helladius and his Chrestomathiae within the history of Greek literature.
