The volume contains the documents of the study day held in Florence on the 4th October 2012 and presents the contributions of nine young scholars of proven competence, belonging to different Italian universities. The multifaceted Greek poetic production of the post-Hellenistic age is investigated through its literary genres and the specific issues it poses: mythological-narrative and didactic epic, theological oracles, pagan and Christian hymnography, an epigram, survival of the poetic expressive code in the prose of the early Byzantine age. The essays are different in perspective - critical-textual, exegetical, historical-literary - but are united by a solid philological basis; moreover, each of them offers innovative ideas that make the volume of great interest for the international scientific community.

The only known work of Nikolaos Kataphloron, an eminent orator and teacher in 12th century Constantinople, has so far remained mostly unpublished. This book presents its first full critical edition commented and translated into French, with Introduction and Indices. The text is a masterpiece of Comnenian rhetoric; the author, through the praise of a Byzantine aristocrat governor residing in Athens, without deviating from the regulatory framework of the genre, raises issues of rhetoric and political theory, philosophical reflection, social behavior and ethics, literary and self-criticism. More over, he composes and integrates various rhetorical genres, exemplary laudatory pieces for different types of men, women and circumstances, in a high and elaborate style, with a multitude of quotes or indirect references to texts of Christian and pagan literature. This work seems to have functioned as a source of feed for any interested orator. In the Introduction and the footnotes, in addition to the Nikolaos Kataphloron biography, the questions about the recipient’s prosopography, the historical context in which the text was composed and its date, they are discussed issues related to the education, the rhetoric and more generally the literature of Comnenian era.
