Answer :

azikennamdi

Answer:

The correct answer is D.                                            

Explanation:

He was at loggerheads with Apollonius of Rhodes which led to a personal feud, Callimachus. So it is not unusual for both poets to be mentioned alongside each other.

He believed in the viability of the Homeric tradition (in modified form) for epic poetry.
