Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HEPHAESTION , a grammarian of
Alexandria
 , who flourished in the age of the Antonines. He was the author of a
manual
  (abridged from a larger
work
  in 48 books) of
Greek
  metres ('Ey tpi&&ov 7rspl /AT pWV), which is most valuable as the only complete treatise on the subject that has been preserved. The concluding chapter (Ilspi vrou7aros) discusses the various kinds of poetical composition. It is written in a clear and simple
style
 , and was much used as a school-
book
 .
Editions by T. Gaisford (1855, with the valuable scholia), R.
Westphal
  (1886, in Scriptores metrici Graeci) and M. Consbruch (1906);
translation
  by T. F.
Barham
  (1843); see also W. Christ, Gesch. der griech. Litt. (1898); M. Consbruch, De veterum IIept iroiiaros doctrina (1890) ; J. E. Sandys, Hist. Class. Schol. i. (1906).
