Classicism and Christianity in Late Antique Latin Poetry by Philip Hardie
348 PHOENIX Recent Nonnian scholarship emphasises the debt of late antique poetry to Latin literature.3 Similarly, Montiglio includes Musaeus’ Latin models in her discussion. The author, wisely perhaps, does not draw her uninitiated reader into the very thorny (for classicists at least) issue of the poem’s characterisation as an epyllion, with which she deals just briefly (4). Montiglio stresses the poem’s sympathetic description of the two lover…
Paraphrase and Metaphrase
This chapter explores paraphrase as a common tool for early Christian exegesis. The first section discusses the definition of paraphrase, its parameters in Antiquity, and its broader use in classical literature and education. The second section looks in more detail at prose paraphrase of Scripture, including discussion of a striking instance of exegetical paraphrase in Greek by Gregory of Nyssa and one in Latin by the orator Gaius Marius Victorin…
The Reception of the Homeric Hymns
"The Reception of the Homeric Hymns is a collection of original essays exploring the reception of the Homeric Hymns and other early hexameter poems in the literature and scholarship of the first century BC and beyond. Although much work has been done on the Hymns over the past few decades, and despite their importance within the Western literary tradition, their influence on authors after the fourth century BC has so far received relatively littl…
Hymnic Narrative and the Narratology of Greek Hymns
Ancient Greek hymns traditionally include a narrative section describing episodes from the hymned deity’s life. These narratives developed in parallel with epic and other narrative genres, and their study provides a different perspective on ancient Greek narrative. Within the hymn genre, the place and function of the narrative section changed over time and with different kinds of hymn (literary or cultic; religious, philosophical or magical). Hym…

The Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite Introduction, Text, and Commentary
The Collection of Homeric Hymns
This chapter considers the evidence for the transmission and reception of the Homeric Hymns from the seventh to the third centuries BC. It is argued that a collection of Homeric Hymns of some sort probably existed by the early Hellenistic period. While by no means as popular as the Homeric epics, the Homeric Hymns were widely known by the third century BC. Indications of knowledge of the Hymns in surviving Classical and Archaic literature are als…

The Homeric Hymns
This book is the first collection on the Homeric Hymns, a corpus of 33 hexameter poems celebrating gods that were probably recited at religious festivals, among other possible performance venues, and were frequently attributed in antiquity to Homer. After a general introduction to modern scholarship on the Homeric Hymns, the chapters of the first part of the book examine in detail aspects of the longer narrative poems in the collection, while tho…

St Gregory of Nazianzus and the Classical Tradition. The Poemata Arcana qua Hymns
This article explores the extent to which pagan hexameter hymns were a model for St. Gregory of Nazianzus’ so-called Poemata Arcana. Gregory cannot, as has recently been suggested, be said to have modelled the collection of Arcana as a whole after the Homeric Hymns. Nonetheless, echoes of pagan hexameter hymns, in particular those of Callimachus, feature prominently at the beginning of the first three Arcana. These three poems treat the Trinity, …
The Legacy of Aphrodite
The Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite has traditionally been understood to pay honour to a family of Aineiadai who once held power in the Troad, but in more recent years some scholars have rejected this view. This article first revisits this controversial issue, suggesting that concentrated attention paid in the hymn to the birth of Aineias and his lineage supports the position that the poem was composed for a group that identified itself with Aineias. I…
