Of the 160 pages of each issue, 40 are devoted to poetry, especially metrical, that avoids prosaism and meaninglessness. The remainder is devoted to prose of different kinds, including not only serious scholarship, but a sprinkling of learned entertainement. Some general remarks on submissions: 1) Every submission must be accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope. 2) It is advisable to query first by email or regular mail with an abstract and a copy of the essay's first page. 3) Footnotes should follow Chicago style. 4) Submissions MUST appeal to the non-specialist. Please note that, although the "maximum length" of each section may occasionally be exceeded, brevity will aid a submission's chances of acceptance. Queries and abstracts, but not essays or poems, may be emailed directly to the address of Gerald Harnett, the editor-in-chief: [log in to unmask] ESSAYS Finely written and rigorously coherent studies of modern poetry, Renaissance literature and ancient literature.

Hellas and its remarkable new generation of poets critics and theorists have yoked the energy of the contemporary imagination to the verbal elegance, moral seriousnessness and good order of neoclassical tradition. "Hellas is a most worthy journal, and I recommend it highly." Paul Kristeller "Hellas is beautiful, strong and original. Congratulations!" Fred Turner "I have been reading through Hellas with interest, amusement and old-fashioned pleasure. Provocative and innovative, Hellas offers a very welcome liveliness and debate." Anthony Hecht "Hellas is full of vigor, sass and interest. It is well- launched and praiseworthy." Richard Wilbur
