Reading a commentary on Callimachus' hymn to Apollo and the author gives a list of works that describe Apollo's beauty. How awfully nice of them 😌
#I've already looked at one of them (Lygdamus' Elegies)#I have to say it seems like Lygdamus had a huge crush on Apollo#i mean Latin poets in general visualise Apollo in a very dreamy manner in their poems#but I fear this Lygdamus dude takes the cake#its something along the lines of#“Apollo's body was as fair as the moon and it was also rosy like the blush on a newly wed bride's face”#LIKE HELLO SIR#I also really like how whenever Apollo's beauty is described#his clothes and his lyre is also given some attention<3#mine
