Under the Sign of the Distaff: Aetia 1.5, Spinning and Erinna
Scholars continue to make progress addressing the lacunae in our papyrological sources for Callimachus’ prologue to the Aetia , both by lending additional support to old supplements and by discounting others or demonstrating their weaknesses. To the first category belongs the crucial verb at the end of line 5, where, in my view, Callimachus first characterizes the making of his poetry ( Aet . 1–6): πολλάκι μοι Τελχῖνες ἐπιτρύζουσιν ἀοιδῇ, νήιδες …
Leonidas of Tarentum
Leonidas of Tarentum (first half of the third century bce ) was one of the major Hellenistic epigrammatists. Attributed to him are 103 epigrams, mostly in elegiac meter.
Callimachus’ Lock of Berenice: Fantasy, Romance, And Propaganda
This chapter argues that Callimachus’ Lock of Berenice was composed as part of a program of imagery reflecting all the concerns of the queen, his young compatriot from Cyrene. In analyzing the poem, the focus will be on the rhetorical strategies devised by Callimachus to propagate a fantasy arising from female experience; it is these, responding to a woman's vision and yet arising from a man's perspective, that lend the poem its unusual and even …
Lyricism in Hellenistic Epigram
The paper explores the lyrical qualities of Hellenistic epigram not only by linking it to the lyric poems and tropes of the past but primarily by drawing on the modern understanding of lyric as genre or mode. Taking as a point of departure the notion of lyric subjectivity, it discusses the degree to which the poet’s voice is involved in the different types of epigram, namely dedicatory, sepulchral and erotic. An in-depth reading of selected epigr…
Fantasy and Metaphor in Meleager
Fantasy and Metaphor in Meleager Kathryn Gutzwiller meleager of gadara is one of those increasingly rare greek authors whose works are somewhat known to many classicists but whose influence on ancient and later literature remains underappreciated. Meleager’s anthology of Greek epigrams called the Garland produced Latin imitations shortly after its creation in the early first century b.c.e., and allusions to Meleager’s own, mostly erotic poems are…
Poetic Meaning, Place, and Dialect in the Epigrams of Meleager
Anacreon, Hellenistic Epigram and the Anacreontic Poet
Among the Greek lyric poets, only Anacreon came to inspire a minor poetic genre in which anonymous poets inhabit the very spirit of their model and illustrate the philosophie de vie fostered by his poetry. 1 The formation of our Anacreontic collection was late, incorporating poems composed even at the end of the imperial age; however, the earliest of the surviving Anacreontic poems are believed to be Hellenistic or early imperial in date. 2 Even …
Leonidas of Tarentum
Leonidas of Tarentum (first half of the third century BCE ) was one of the major Hellenistic epigrammatists. Attributed to him are 103 epigrams, mostly in elegiac meter. He specialized in dedications and epitaphs, although most of his epigrams appear to be literary rather than inscriptional. Dedications of spoils from the Lucanians ( Anth. Pal . 6.129, 6.131) provide historical references (before 272 BCE ). In a self‐epitaph ( Anth. Pal . 7.715),…

Catullus: Poems, Books, Readers
In this book, a sequel to Traditions and Contexts in the Poetry of Horace (Cambridge University Press, 2002), ten leading Latin scholars provide specially commissioned in-depth discussions of the poetry of Catullus, one of ancient Rome's most favourite and best loved poets. Some chapters focus on the collection as a whole and the interrelationship of various poems; others deal with intertextuality and translation and Catullus' response to his Gre…
New Menander Mosaics from Antioch
A large mosaic pavement excavated in 2007 at ancient Daphne, a suburb of Antioch-on-the-Orontes, includes four figured panels representing scenes from comedies by Menander. Inscribed with the name of the play and the number of the act, the panels depict Perikeiromene, act 1; Philadelphoi, act 1; Synaristosai, act 1; and Theophoroumene, act 3. This article integrates archaeological, iconographical, and literary approaches in order to evaluate the …
All in the Family: Forgiveness and Reconciliation in New Comedy
From the modern perspective, forgiveness is in its core form an interpersonal act in which a person consciously gives up resentment or settled anger toward another after a sincere expression of contrition. The closest Greek equivalent to forgiveness is sungnōmē , which, however, has a broader range of meaning including recognition, understanding, forbearance, pardon, and excuse. The fundamentally cognitive aspect of the Greek concept is evident i…
Images poétiques et réminiscences artistiques dans les épigrammes de Méléagre
En nous livrant deux séries d’épigrammes consacrées à l’évocation de gemmes et de statues, la publication du nouveau papyrus de Milan, dont la paternité est attribuée à Posidippe, nous a montré que les épigrammes relatives aux beaux-arts constituaient déjà un sous-genre bien établi au début de la période hellénistique. Parmi les épigrammes ecphrastiques qui furent composées au cours de l’époque hellénistique, certaines ont pris place dans la Cour…
Métamorphoses du regard ancien
Cet ouvrage s’intéresse à la culture visuelle de l’époque hellénistique et romaine et à la réception des collections artistiques auprès des lettrés de ces deux périodes. À partir d’un éventail de documents qui vont du IIIe siècle avant J.-C. à l’Antiquité tardive, il cherche à montrer comment les œuvres d’art pouvaient constituer, pour les Anciens, les supports d’un discours, que celui-ci soit d’ordre esthétique, idéologique ou même érotique. Les…

Seeing Thought: Timomachus' Medea and Ecphrastic Epigram
From the time of Lessing, Timomachus' Medea, poised in a moment of agonizing indecision, has exemplified the essential qualities of art, its spatial fixity and indeterminacy of meaning. I study this famous painting, based on a surviving Euripidean passage and still knowable through Roman descendants, as a rare example of transmutation from text to image and then again from image to text. The principal literary texts concerning the painting are a …

Poetic Garlands: Hellenistic Epigrams in Context
Epigrams, the briefest of Greek poetic forms, had a strong appeal for readers of the Hellenistic period (323-31 B.C.). One of the most characteristic literary forms of the era, the epigram, unlike any other ancient or classical form of poetry, was not only composed for public recitation but was also collected in books intended for private reading. Brief and concise, concerned with the personal and the particular, the epigram emerged in the Hellen…

In Propertius 4.5 the lena (‘procuress’) Acanthis gives advice to nostra arnica (‘my girlfriend’, 63), almost certainly Cynthia, to cultivate rich lovers and avoid the poet who offers only verses. For Georg Luck the purpose of Propertius' ‘caricature’ of Acanthis is a moralizing condemnation of Rome's decadent demi-monde . According to Judith Hallett, ‘Propertius and his ideals are vindicated’ when at the close of 4.5 ‘Acanthis dies penniless and…
