Unclear sentence
editThis article rightly deserves GA status. It covers the important things admirably. But this sentence is unclear to me: "In these poems, Callimachus presented a toned-down version of the archaic iambus." Could it be expanded? Kanjuzi (talk) 10:16, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing this out, Kanjuzi. The point is that Callimachus wrote iambs that weren't as strikingly aggressive as those of the archaic iambographers. I will try to find a new, more precise wording. Modussiccandi (talk) 10:39, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
That would be very useful. What wasn't clear whether the sentence is referring to the subject matter of Callimachus's poems or the metrical technique. Although now I see that you mean the former. Kanjuzi (talk) 10:43, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
