F. M. Benecke is a scholarly publication written in the late 19th century. This work investigates the portrayal and significance of women in Greek poetry, focusing on the contributions of Antimachus of Colophon and contrasting earlier and later poetic traditions. The book aims to explore how romantic love was conceived in ancient literature, particularly in relation to the evolving societal roles of women within these poetic texts. The opening of the work sets the stage for a deeper analysis of the views on women expressed in Greek literature, noting a significant evolution from earlier poetic traditions to those emerging in the Alexandrian era. Benecke presents an argument that challenges the prevailing notion that later poets initiated a romantic view of women, suggesting instead that Antimachus was pivotal in acknowledging women's worth in a love context. He lays out a plan for examining various forms of poetry and drama to illustrate the transition in perspectives regarding women's roles and their representation in both comedic and tragic works, ultimately seeking to contextualize Antimachus's influence in the broader history of Greek literary tradition.
