Abstract
The author's intention is to prove that the poetic structure of Callimachus' Hymn to Apollo is in fact a realisation of Apolline aesthetics. While perfecting divine art and poetry, however, the poet does not become conceited, unlike mythical figures such as Arachne, Marsyas or Thamyris. It is this trait that compels Apollo to push his own envy off the cliffs of Olympus, and declare his benevolence towards the Apolline poet.
