The orphic poem about stones ("Lithica")
The paper represents a literary translation of the late ancient poem “Lithica” (“On stones”). Scholars date the poem by the period from 2nd to 4th centuries. Along with the “Orphic Argonautica” the “Litica” is a part of the Orphic corpus. From the point of view of the genre it is a lapidary in verse (a literary work about stones, mostly precious and unusual). Lapidaries were very popular in the epoch of late antiquity and Middle age. The author o…
The Orphic Argonautica
The publication presents a literary translation of the late Antique poem “Orphic Argonautica”, approximately dating from the 4th –5th centuries AD. This is a pseudepigraph, the author of which deliberately hid his name by signing the poem with the name of the mythical singer Orpheus. Along with the “Lithica”, the “Orphic Argonautica” is one of the two epic poems included in the corpus of orphic texts. From other versions of the epic on the plot o…
The Image of Light in the “Ekphrasis of the Hagia Sophia” by Paul the Silentiary
The paper explores the imagery of light in a poem by Paul the Silentiary (6th century) “Ekphrasis of the Hagia Sophia” (and in an adjoining poem “Ekphrasis of the Ambo”) written by order of the Emperor Justinian in 562 on the occasion of the re-consecration of the Church. This problem is more often touched upon from the point of view of art because of the detailed description of the lighting system in St. Sophia, which uses artificial as well as …
Triphiodorus. The sack of Ilion
This article contains a poetical translation of the epic poem by the late-ancient poet Triphiodorus, The Sack of Ilion. For a long time, Triphiodorus had been considered as a poet of “the school of Nonnus” and as his epigone, and his lifetime had been dated to the end of the 5th — beginning of the 6th century. But after the publication in 1972 of the Oxyrhynchus Papyrus of the 3th century containing a few lines by Triphiodorus, it became clear th…
John of Gaza. Ekphrasis of a cosmic painting
This publication represents a poetic translation into Russian of the poem by John of Gaza (1st half of the 6th century AD) Ekphrasis of the Picture of the Universe. The poem consists of 732 verses and contains a picturesque description of more than 50 allegorical fi gures depicting personalised natural phenomena. It is supposed to be a description of a real mosaic or fresco, which was placed, as the scholiast’s note informs us, in the winter bath…
The Syncretic Revelation of John of Gaza
This paper suggests that John of Gaza’s poem Tabula Mundi which is in general considered to be an ekphrasis of a real picture that had once adorned winter baths in Gaza or Antioch, actually reflects the author’s personal cosmological beliefs and is an ekphrasis in form only. In the poem there are parallels both with the mystical narratives of the ascent to heaven, and with Christian apocalyptic teachings. However, John of Gaza’s ʻrevelationʼ is n…
