“Aristophanes with his Chorus”
This paper examines the role of comedy in Atticist lexica by focusing on the use of Old Comedy in two works by Phrynichus: the Eclogue and the Praeparatio sophistica. It argues that, despite their different structures and aims, both of these texts privilege the classic Old Comedy triad – Aristophanes, Eupolis, Cratinus – for the purposes of linguistic prescription, reducing the rest of the Old Comedy canon to a much more circumscribed role
Ancient Greek Purism
This volume is the first of four devoted to Atticism, a form of linguistic purism that sought to preserve the rules of the 5th-century Attic dialect against the evolution of Postclassical Greek. The series elucidates the origins and development of Atticist thought, as well as its impact, transmission, and legacy from the Byzantine Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Although Atticism flourished in the Imperial age, its roots are steeped in the previo…
Ch. 8. The Homericness of Herodotus’ Language
Published in Ivan Matijašić, ed., Herodotus - The Most Homeric Historian? (HISTOS Supplement 14), p. 241-285
Photius, Αναλφαβhτος and Atticist Lexica
Photius’ lexicon contains an entry on the rare adjective ἀναλφάβητος (‘illiterate, ignorant’) that cites Phrynichus Atticista. Based on this testimony, the whole passage has been edited as fr. 19 of Phrynichus’ Praeparatio sophistica . This article demonstrates that in this lemma Photius conflates material which comes from Phrynichus and one other source, hypothetically identified with the anonymous Antiatticist lexicon, which preserves an abridg…
Archaic and Classical Inscribed Epigrams from Sicily
La Sicile ancienne, terre grecque riche en manifestations culturelles et littéraires, a fourni un nombre réduit d’épigrammes épigraphiques. L’objectif de cette contribution est de présenter le panorama des huit épigrammes réalisées entre la période archaïque et classique, ainsi que de signaler leurs choix linguistiques. Les épigrammes votives étant pour la plupart formulaires, et deux des épigrammes funéraires étant fragmentaires, les résultats d…
The Paths of Greek
This volume proposes a multidisciplinary approach to the history of Ancient Greek. Each of its ten papers offers a methodological example of how the study of Greek can be greatly enhanced by a truly multidisciplinary perspective in which the analysis of language interacts with epigraphy, textual philology and comparative linguistics, yet without neglecting the role that linguistic features play in the texts in which they are used, and hence in th…

Enumerating the Muses
Tzetzes’ long scholium on the first two words of Hesiod’s Erga preserves precious information on the Muses, their number and names in Hesiod, Eumelus, Epicharmus and Aratus, for the last three of which he is the only source. The first part of this paper re-examines Tzetzes’ testimony in the context of his exegetical activity of the great poets of the past and proposes a new reading for the curious name Τιτόπλους. The second part focuses on Epicha…
Two Notes on the Text of Pollux X 1.1‒5 Bethe
The tenth prefatory letter of Pollux’ Onomasticon transmits two otherwise unattested pieces of information concerning the existence of an anonymous commentary on Xenophon and of a treatise by Eratosthenes of Cyrene entitled Σκευογραφικός. The corrupt state of the text in the manuscript tradition, which the standard edition by E. Bethe has not improved, has so far hindered the full understanding of this passage. This article (a) argues that two co…
Herodotus’ Reception in Ancient Greek Lexicography and Grammar
A neglected chapter in the history of Herodotus’ reception in antiquity is his treatment in ancient linguistic sources. This chapter addresses the linguistic and more widely philological interest that Herodotus aroused at two key points of antiquity: the Hellenistic age, when Greek ‘linguistics’ emerged, and the 1st–3rd centuries AD, when the con- troversies over language purity on the one hand and the historical method on the other touched upon …
Ancient Greek Verb-Initial Compounds
"This book provides a study of the diachronic development of compounds with a verbal first constituent in Ancient Greek. Based on an unprecedentedly comprehensive corpus of such compounds, it offers detailed treatments of their origins, structure and place within the Greek compound system, as well as in-depth and up-to-date introductions to Greek compounds and to linguistic research on compounding"
Phoenician Lions
This article offers a new account of the funerary stele of the Phoenician Shem/Antipatros (IG II2 8388, CEG 596). Following early symbolic readings of the monument, it adopts a comparative approach in order to explain the difficult symbolism of the relief, as well as the obscure expressions of the Greek epigram, by considering their likely Semitic (and more widely Near Eastern) background. In particular, the article offers the first full commenta…

Language and Linguistic Contact in Ancient Sicily
Within the field of ancient bilingualism, Sicily represents a unique terrain for analysis as a result of its incredibly rich linguistic history, in which 'colonial' languages belonging to branches as diverse as Italic (Oscan and Latin), Greek and Semitic (Phoenician) interacted with the languages of the natives (the elusive Sicel, Sicanian and Elymian). The result of this ancient melting-pot was a culture characterised by 'postcolonial' features …
Greek Compounds of the Type ισóεoς 'Equal to a God', αξιóλoγoς 'Worthy of Note', απειρoμαχας 'Ignorant of War', etc
In the majority of Greek compounds the head occurs on the right. Within this system, a number of left-oriented categories are tolerated, chiefly preposition- and verb-first compounds, but also a handful of minor groups. This article aims to provide a more thorough appraisal of a specific subtype of left-oriented compounds: those showing an adjectival head (type ισóεoς, αξιoλoγoς, etc.). It first provides an overview of the various types of left-…
