Hipponax the Poet
'Hipponax the poet' is an elusive figure. Stories about him abounded already in antiquity, at least in part extrapolated from the stories about himself that abounded in his poems. But what distinguishes him from other Greek lyric poets is the manner in which his corpus suggests a strategy of mischievousness around self-presentation: a deliberate confounding of expectations, the projecting of a pointedly strange and untrustworthy authorial persona…
Hipponax’s Strasbourg Epode
A kollesis is strong evidence that the two fragments of P. Stras. inv. 3 (Hipponax, frr. *115-*117 W.) belong to the same column. The article argues for placing fr. B first and reading frr. *117 and *115 W. as belonging to the same poem
Didymus’ Commentary on Pindar's Paeans
This article examines the citation of Didymus’ ‘first’ commentary on Pindar's Paeans in Ammon. Diff. 231 Nickau. It argues that the commentary on the Paeans was the first volume in Didymus’ commentary to all of Pindar
Tragic Hexameters and Generic Archaeology
This article discusses the hexameter piece in Aeschylus’ fragments 168–168b Radt (probably from Semele or Water-bearers), a hymn to the nymphs of Argos sung by Hera while disguised as a wandering priestess. First I detail the way in which the text evokes and adapts the tradition of hymnic poetry in hexameters (instantiated, among others, by the Homeric Hymns) in both content and form. Then I argue that Aeschylus performs an exercise in generic ar…
ΦΑΙΔΙΜΟΣ ΕΚΤΩΡ Studi in onore di Willy Cingano per il suo 70° compleanno
The volume collects thirty-six essays honouring Ettore (‘Willy’) Cingano, Professor of Greek Language and Literature at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. Current and former colleagues, students, and friends have contributed new studies on various aspects of Classical antiquity to celebrate his seventieth birthday. The work consists of seven main sections, mirroring and complementing Willy’s research interests. We start with the subjects to which …
Chapter Two Didymus and lyric
Didymus worked extensively on archaic lyric poetry. The greatest amount of surviving material comes from the Pindar scholia and concerns Pindar’s Epinicians, but there are fragments and testimonies of his commentaries to other authors and a treatise On Lyric Poets. This chapter reviews the evidence for Didymus’ lyric scholarship, then discusses the contents of the On Lyric Poets—whose surviving fragments are concerned with the identification of l…
A checklist of the testimonia and fragments of Didymus
This Checklist aims to collect the testimonia to Didymus’ life and references to all extant fragments of his works. It is not, and could not have been, a proper edition to supersede the one published by Moritz Schmidt in 1854; the latter endeavour we leave to guts more brazen than ours. But we believe that a Checklist of fragments, organised by works, will be a useful instrument for those working on Didymus in the interim. Scholars will be able t…
The Cup of Song
The symposion is arguably the most significant and well-documented context for the performance, transmission, and criticism of archaic and classical Greek poetry. The Cup of Song explores how Greek poetry relates to the symposion considered as both an actual performance context and an imaginary space pregnant with social, political, and aesthetic implications. This collection of essays by an international group of leading scholars flashes light o…
