Hellenistic Aeolics
Theocritus provides an example of the Hellenistic adaptation of Aeolic poetry in his Idylls 28-31, which also imitate the Archaic Aeolic dialect. Idyll 29, a pederastic love poem, "which is presumably an imitation of Alcaeus and opens with a quotation from him," is in the same meter as Book II of Sappho. The other three poems are composed in the Greater Asclepiad meter (like Sappho, Book III). Also in the third century BC, a hymn by Aristonous (Collectanea Alexandrina 162) is composed in glyconic-pherecratean stanzas, and Philodamus' paean to Dionysus (CA 167) is partly analyzable by Aeolic principles.
