You must know both: the one led his country’s forces once, the other sang beyond the reach of envy. Callimachus, Epigram 21 Pf., tr. F.J. Nisetich Callimachus’ epitaph for the tomb of his father is notorious for how perplexingly little it says about the deceased. We are told neither his name nor profession, whereas the name that resounds loud and clear is that of the author of the epigram. This is a measure of how Callimachus outshone his father. The Greeks may have found delight in being defeated by their children (cf. Pl. Mx. 247a), yet we are less impressed. Even for the sake of Callimachus himself, would it not be rewarding to know who his father was? The epigram illustrates the broader problem we have with the poet’s closest literary ancestors.

    S. R. SLINGS HERMESIANAX AND THE TATTOO ELEGY (P. BRUX. INV. E 8934 AND P. SORB. INV. 2254) aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 98 (1993) 29–37 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 29 HERMESIANAX AND THE TATTOO ELEGY (P.BRUX. INV. E 8934 AND P.SORB. INV. 2254) For Dirk Schenkeveld A newly published Brussels papyrus makes a join with an already published Sorbonne papyrus of Hellenistic elegy; we owe this splendid discovery to M. Huys1. The find confirms an intuition of Barns and Lloyd-Jones that the poem is about tattooing an adversary with various unedifying scenes from mythology - this had been contradicted with unscholarly fervour by Giangrande and K. Alexander2. At the same time, it refutes a conjecture of Lloyd- Jones', namely that this poem is the work of Phanocles: until Huys' discovery, it was possible to suppose that Phanocles fr. 1 Powell, which ends with the Thracian women being tattooed by their husbands because of their murdering Orpheus, was an aition preceding a Dirae type elegy saying 'I will tattoo you likewise'. But the Brussels papyrus is quite clearly the beginning of a poem (cf. especially i 3 mnÆ!ontai éoida¤), so this attribution has lost what plausibility it may have had before Huys' discovery. All the same, the identification of the author with Phanocles has influenced the general judgement of the author's standing to an extent which, to my mind, is hardly justified. Papathomopoulos, the author of the editio princeps of the Sorbonne papyrus3, had diagnosed the poet as a minor, provincial versifier of the Hellenistic period.

  • MELEAGER and PHILIP AS EPIGRAM COLLECTORS Lorenzo
    MELEAGER AND PHILIP AS EPIGRAM COLLECTORS Lorenzo Argentieri 1. The Epigram Crisis in the Second Century B.C. Meleager is our source of knowledge for the most important period of Greek epigram. As both poet and editor, he created an anthology called the Garland (%c' #) at the beginning of the rst century B.C., comprising many epigrams by older poets, to which he added his own. Meleager’s decision to form such a collection represents a major departure from earlier Hellenistic practice, which had been satis ed with merely gathering together and cataloguing the works of past authors.1 A glance at the poets named by Meleager in the opening poem of the Garland (AP 4.1 = 1 GP) reveals a rather uneven chronological distribution. Here they are ranked by date of birth:2 Up to 350 B.C. Archilochus, Sappho, Anacreon, Simonides, Bacchylides, Plato, Erinna ca. 330–320 Anyte, Nossis, Moero, Leonidas, Asclepiades, Simias, Perses (?) ca. 310–300 Posidippus, Hedylus, Alexander Aetolus, Nicias, Cal- limachus, Aratus, Antagoras ca. 270 Euphorion, Rhianus, Hegesippus (?) ca. 250 Nicaenetus, Damagetus, Mnasalces, Dioscorides, Theo- doridas, Phaedimus (?) ca. 230–220 Samius, Alcaeus ca. 180 Antipater, Phanias, Polystratos It is remarkable that after including many poets of the third century B.C., he has only three from the second. This difference may be due to Meleager’s personal taste; he preferred third-century authors (rightly, to 1 Argentieri (1998: 2–4). 2 Revised from Page (1975: xi) and the introductions to individual poets in Gow- Page (1965). I do not deal with the thorny problem of epigrams ascribed to ancient authors (“up to 350”), which however Meleager held for genuine; see the introductions in Gow-Page (1965) to Sappho and Erinna, and Page (1980) for all the others, along with Sider in this volume.

The Introduction begins with a survey of the available evidence for the poem’s date and authorship, before moving on to consider its generic affiliations and influences, focusing on two particular areas: its links with the ill-defined genre of παρῳδία, and its relationship to animal-narratives elsewhere in ancient literature (particularly fable) and visual art. This is followed by a detailed analysis of the poem’s style and metre, a brief tour of its Nachleben up to the 13th century, and a summary of the notoriously tangled manuscript tradition. The text is new, and differs substantially from both that of Allen (in the OCT) and of West (the most recent English edition).

  • Poets and Poetics in Greek Literary Epigram
    Poets and Poetics in Greek Literary Epigram A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics by Charles S. Campbell B.A. Grinnell College M.A. University of Cincinnati November, 2013 Committee Chair: Dr. Kathryn J. Gutzwiller, Ph.D. 1 Abstract This dissertation offers a new analysis of the treatment of poets and poetics in Greek literary epigram from the early Hellenistic Period (3rd century BCE) down to the early Roman Imperial Period (1st century CE). In their authorial self-representations (the poetic ego or literary persona), their representation of other poets, and their thematization of poetry more generally, literary epigrammatists define, and successively redefine, the genre of epigram itself against the background of the literary tradition. This process of generic self-definition begins with the earliest literary epigrammatists’ fusion of inscriptional epigram with elements drawn from other genres, sympotic and erotic poetry and heroic epic, and their exploitation of the formal and conceptual repertoire of epigram to thematize poetic discourse. With the consolidation of the epigrammatic tradition in the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE, the distinctively epigrammatic poetic discourse that had evolved in the 3rd century BCE was subsumed into the persona of the poet himself, who is now figured as the very embodiment of the epigrammatic tradition and genre. In the first century BCE, as epigram was transplanted from Greece to the new cultural context of Roman Italy, the figure of the epigrammatist served to articulate the place of both poetry and the poet in this new world.

  • This Book — the Only History of Friendship in Classical Antiquity That Exists in English
    This book — the only history of friendship in classical antiquity that exists in English - examines the nature of friendship in ancient Greece and Rome from Homer (eighth century BC) to the Christian Roman Empire of the fourth century AD. Although friendship is throughout this period conceived of as a voluntary and loving relationship (contrary to the prevailing view among scholars), there are major shifts in emphasis from the bonding among warriors in epic poetry, to the egalitarian ties characteristic of the Athenian democracy, the status-con- scious connections in Rome and the Hellenistic kingdoms, and the commitment to a universal love among Christian writers. Friendship is also examined in relation to erotic love and comradeship, as well as for its role in politics and economic life, in philosophical and religious communities, in connection with patronage and the private counsellors of kings, and in respect to women; its relation to modern friendship is fully discussed.

After the fall of the Roman empire in the West, an interval of fifty years, till the memorable reign of Justinian, is faintly marked by the obscure names and imperfect annals of Zeno, Anastasius, and Justin, who successively ascended to the throne of Constantinople. During the same period, Italy revived and flourished under the government of a Gothic king, who might have deserved a statue among the best and bravest of the ancient Romans.
