There and back again: Callimachus <i>Epigr.</i> 31 and the (Greek) Renaissance

Callimachus’ hunting simile for love made its way back into Greek literature during the Cretan Renaissance in the Fortounatos of Foskolos (1655), but via Italian intermediaries, especially Ariosto, rather than directly from Greek.
