Voice and Addressee in the Mimetic Hymns of Callimachus

A close reading of the three “mimetic” hymns shows that in none of them can any credible interaction between voice and audience be reconstructed from the words of the poem. Furthermore, the voice of the poems cannot be assigned to a “master of ceremonies”, nor to anyone else present on the occasions imagined. Paradoxically, this is what allows for the remarkably vivid recreation of festival occasions in these poems.
