Voyage dans le temps et dans l'histoire, voyage dans les profondeurs de l'imagination, le présent ouvrage entend remonter jusqu'à la source la plus lointaine de l'épopée grecque. Le voyage est aussi une invitation à une autre lecture d'Homère : le vieux poète est le plus actuel et l'un de ceux dont le chant éveille en nous l'écho le plus puissant.

Die Hekale des hellenistischen Dichters Kallimachos stellt eines der bekanntesten Kleinepen der griechischen Literatur dar und fand als solches großen Anklang in der Antike. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Untersuchung steht die bisher nur selten gestellte und daher nicht ausreichend behandelte Frage nach dem Verhältnis der Hekale zu dem homerischen Epos, und zwar zur Odyssee. Den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen zufolge stellt sich heraus, dass die Odyssee ebenso deutlich wie nachhaltig die Sprache, die Figurenkonstellation des hellenistischen Miniaturepos wie auch die gesamte Struktur dessen Handlung beeinflusste. Die Untersuchung dokumentiert die zahlreichen und verschiedenartigen Rekurse, Anklänge, Anleihen, die Kallimachos auf sprachlicher, figurenbezogener und nicht minder auch struktureller Ebene bei der Odyssee gemacht hat, indem sie Lesestrategien in Anspruch nimmt, die auf Inter- und Intratextualität, Erzähltheorie, poetische Etymologie, Mündlichkeit vs. Schriftlichkeit und Geschlechterforschung beruhen. In diesem methodischen Rahmen enthält sie mehrere Interpretationsversuche, die neues Licht auf die ,kleinen Leute' sowohl des homerischen als auch des hellenistischen Epos werfen sollen.

This book offers a new edition and comprehensive commentary of the extant fragments of genealogical and antiquarian epic dating to the archaic period (8th-6th cent. BC). By means of a detailed study of the multifaceted material pertaining to the remains of archaic Greek epic other than Homer, Hesiod, and the Homeric Hymns, it provides readers with a critical reassessment of the ancient evidence, allows access to new material hitherto unnoticed or scattered in various journals after the publication of the three standard editions now available to us, and offers a full-scale commentary of the extant fragments. This book fills a gap in the study of archaic Greek poetry, since it offers a guiding tool for the further exploration of Greek epic tradition in the archaic period and beyond.

This first monograph in English on Colluthus situates this late antique author within his cultural context and offers a new appraisal of his hexameter poem The Abduction of Helen , the end-point of the pagan Greek epic tradition, which was composed in the Christianised Egyptian Thebaid. The book evaluates the poem’s connections with long-established and contemporary literary and artistic genres and with Neoplatonic philosophy, and analyzes the poet’s re-negotiation of traditional material to suit the expectations of a late fifth-century AD audience. It explores Colluthus' interpretation of the contemporary fascination with visuality, identifies new connections between Colluthus and Claudian, and shows how the author’s engagement with the poetry of Nonnus goes much further than previously shown.

Nonnus of Panopolis (fifth century CE) composed two poems once thought to be incompatible: the Dionysiaca, a mythological long epic with a marked interest in astrology, the occult, the paradox and not least the beauty of the female body, and a pious and sublime Paraphrase of the Gospel of St John. Little is known about the man, to whom sundry identities have been attached. The longer work has been misrepresented as a degenerate poem or as a mythological handbook. The Christian poem has been neglected or undervalued. Yet, Nonnus accomplished an ambitious plan, in two parts, aiming at representing world-history. This volume consists mainly of the Proceedings of the First International Conference on Nonnus held in Rethymno, Crete in May 2011. With twentyfour essays, an international team of specialists place Nonnus firmly in his time's context. After an authoritative Introduction by Pierre Chuvin, chapters on Nonnus and the literary past, the visual arts, Late Antique paideia, Christianity and his immediate and long-range afterlife (to modern times) offer a wide-ranging and innovative insight into the man and his world. The volume moves on beyond stereotypes to inaugurate a new era of research for Nonnus and Late Antique poetics on the whole.
