"Epigram stands apart from other early Greek poetic genres by being from the start a written genre, and moreover by being a written genre with a fixed physical context. In the case of sepulchral epigram this physical context is that of a grave or a cenotaph, thus making the epigram an integral part of a monument, a physical object in a fixed place, commemorating one or more persons"--Provided by publisher. "With contributions written by leading experts in the field, this volume explores the dialogue between Archaic and Classical Greek epigrams and their readers. The authors examine questions surrounding the identity of the speakers and the addressees. They also discuss the spatial, religious, historical and political contexts of epigram, as well as aspects of intertextuality, poetic variation and the creation of epigrammatic sub-genres. Collectively the volume demonstrates that the dominant view of epigram as a genre that became literary and artistic only in the Hellenistic period has to be revised. Archaic and Classical Greek epigrams did not simply serve the objects they describe but also demonstrate a high degree of aesthetic and literary achievement. This volume breaks new ground in the study of the genre and is important for scholars of classics, archaeology, epigraphy and papyrology"--Provided by publisher.

A Monumental Hellenistic Funerary Ensemble at Callatis on the Western Black Sea presents one of the most spectacularearly Hellenistic funerary monuments, recently excavated on the western Black Sea coast by a Romanian-BulgarianPolish interdisciplinary research team. Documaci Tumulus, covering a painted tomb, and marked by a monumental statue,was built at the threshold of the 4th to 3rd centuries BC in the cemetery of the Greek City of Callatis. The sophisticatedconstruction techniques and the remains of commemorative rituals attest to the dynamic political arena of the Diadochiwars in the Black Sea area and offer a glimpse into a complex and interconnected world of Hellenistic architects and artists.The monument will fuel discussions about the mechanisms of ritualised identity expression in mixed cultural environments,functioning under the pressure of political change, or about community membership, symbolic discourse and ancestors—all reflected in ‘le jeu des miroirs’ of the funerary practices.
