The New Posidippus

The Milan Papyrus ( P. Mil. Volg. VIII. 309), containing a collection of epigrams apparently all by Posidippus of Pella, provides one of the most exciting new additions to the corpus of Greek literature in decades. It not only contains over 100 previously unknown epigrams by one of the most prominent poets of the third century BC, but as an artefact it constitutes our earliest example of a Greek poetry book. In addition to a poetic translation of the entire corpus of Posidippus'poetry, this volume contains essays about Posidippus by experts in the fields of papyrology, Hellenistic and Augustan literature, Ptolemaic history, and Graeco-Roman visual culture.

Dans La Splendeur des dieux, Gaëlle Tallet aborde la question de la transformation des divinités égyptiennes à l’époque gréco-romaine et de l’hellénisation de leur iconographie en interrogeant les enjeux de l’élaboration d’un hellénisme proprement égyptien, et les stratégies qu’il recouvre. In La Splendeur des dieux, Gaëlle Tallet provides a full reappraisal of the transformation of Egyptian deities and of their Hellenized depiction in Graeco-Roman times, and questions the issues and strategies at stake behind the elaboration of an Egyptian Hellenicity.

In recent years, a growing interest in “oriental manuscripts” in all their aspects, including the extrinsic ones, has been observed. Research that focuses on holograph, autograph and authorial manuscripts in Arabic handwritten script has nevertheless been casual, although these manuscripts raise important and varied questions. The study of the working methods of authors from the past informs different disciplines: paleography, codicology, textual criticism, ecdotics, linguistics and intellectual history. In this volume nine contributions and case studies are gathered that address theoretical issues and convey different, disruptive perspectives. A particularly important subject of this bo...

Onomastica graeca selecta

"Les OGS II s’Achevaient sur un article de 1988. Comme dans les années suivantes l’activité d’Olivier Masson en matière d’onomastique grecque ne s’est pas démentie, nous avions depuis longtemps, et en plein accord avec lui, décidé de donner une suite aux deux premiers volumes dont l’utilité est toujours reconnue. Après son décès en février 1997, nous avons attendu la publication d’un certain nombre d’articles pour constituer le recueil le plus complet possible. En plus des textes postérieurs à 1988, il nous a paru opportun d’inclure un compte rendu de 1977 dont la substance ne nous semble pas avoir été reprise ailleurs, ainsi qu’un important article de 1988 que nous avions indexé avec la référence CICG sans le reproduire."--Préface

Dans l'Antiquité grecque et romaine, on attendait des mots écrits ou prononcés qu’ils suscitent l’imagination visuelle et puissent convaincre, plaire et émouvoir par leur qualité d’enargeia et d’euidentia. Ce volume collectif étudie ce phénomène de l’épopée homérique à la seconde sophistique, et, par-delà l’Antiquité, au début de l’époque moderne..

Arion's Lyre

Arion's Lyre

Arion's Lyre examines how Hellenistic poetic culture adapted, reinterpreted, and transformed Archaic Greek lyric through a complex process of textual, cultural, and creative reception. Looking at the ways in which the poetry of Sappho, Alcaeus, Ibycus, Anacreon, and Simonides was preserved, edited, and read by Hellenistic scholars and poets, the book shows that Archaic poets often look very different in the new social, cultural, and political setting of Hellenistic Alexandria. For example, the Alexandrian Sappho evolves from the singer of Archaic Lesbos but has distinct associations and contexts, from Ptolemaic politics and Macedonian queens to the new phenomenon of the poetry book and an Alexandrian scholarship intent on preservation and codification. A study of Hellenistic poetic culture and an interpretation of some of the Archaic poets it so lovingly preserved, Arion's Lyre is also an examination of how one poetic culture reads another--and how modern readings of ancient poetry are filtered and shaped by earlier readings.

I fiori campestri di Posidippotho

Focusing on the so-called 'new Posidippus', Margherita Maria Di Nino's I fiori campestri di Posidippo investigates the main linguistic and stylistic features of the recently-discovered Posidippean epigrams as well as the sources from which the poet drew his inspiration. The book provides a detailed commentary of the 7th and the 8th sections of P.Mil.Vogl. VIII 309, which contain epitaphs for sea victims (Nauagika) and epigrams recording Asclepius' miraculous healings (Iamatika). The strictly philological analysis of the poems is complemented by a detailed comparison between Posidippus' poetic lexis and the language documented in literary and inscriptional epitaphs for sea victims as well as in the shrine inscriptions from Lebena, Epidaurus and Rome.
