Abstract

Hellenistic poets opted and were very likely expected to deal meaningfully, and perhaps competitively, with the tradition they inherited. They also needed to secure the goodwill of actual or potential patrons. Apollonius, the author of a novel heroic epic, eschews references to literary polemics and patronage. Callimachus often adopts a polemical stance against some colleagues in order to suggest his poetic excellence. Theocritus chooses a third way, which has not been investigated adequately. He avoids antagonism but ironizes the theme of poetic excellence and distances himself from the tradition of competitive success. He does not cast his narrators as superior to predecessors and contemporaries but stresses the advantages and merits of colleagues. This rejection of conceit is connected with a major strand in Theocritean poetry: the power of word, including song, to provide assistance to characters in distress is a major open issue. Language is versatile and potent but not all-powerful. Song gives pleasure but is not a panacea while instruction and advice are never helpful and may even prove harmful. Most genuine pieces are ambiguous and open-ended so that the aspirations of characters are not presented as doomed to failure.

Abstract

Cyclopodie est un néologisme signifiant "chant du Cyclope" qui a été forgé ici pour désigner la manière nouvelle dont Théocrite décide de traiter de la figure légendaire du Cyclope dans l'Idylle VI de son recueil bucolique. Ce titre, qui n'est pas de Théocrite, n'aurait sans doute pas été désavoué par un poète alexandrin qui y aurait retrouvé à la fois le plaisir de jouer avec la langue et la discrète allusion à une figure homérique fameuse. Le présent ouvrage s'efforce donc de mettre en valeur ces caractéristiques dans un poème emblématique de la poésie alexandrine et pourtant assez peu étudiée pour lui-même : il s'agit d'une édition et traduction augmentée d'un vaste commentaire linéaire et d'une introduction qui met en place les conditions de composition du poème.

Abstract

The poems of Theocritus are our best witness to a brilliant poetic culture that flourished in the first half of the third century BC. This book considers the context from which these poems grew and, in particular, the manner in which they engage with and recreate the poetic forms of the Greek archaic age. The focus is not on the familiar bucolic poems of Theocritus, but on the hymns, mimes and erotic poems of the second half of the corpus. Recent papyri have greatly increased our understanding of how Theocritus read archaic poetry, and these discoveries are fully exploited in a set of readings which will change the way we look at Hellenistic poetry.

Abstract

"Through the variety of its scholarly perspectives, Brill Companion to Theocritus offers a tool for the study of one of antiquity's foremost poets. Offering a thorough examination of textual transmission, ancient commentaries, literary dialect, and poetic forms, the present volume considers Theocritus' work from novel theoretical perspectives, such as gender and emotions. It expands the usual field of inquiry to include religion, and the poet's reception in Late Antiquity and early modern times. The various chapters promote Theocritus' profile as an erudite poet, who both responds to and inaugurates a rich and variegated tradition. The combination of these various perspectives places Theocritus at the crossroads of Ptolemaic patronage, contemporary society, and art. Contributors are: Benjamin Acosta-Hughes, Annemarie Ambühl, Ewen Bowie, Brian W. Breed, Dee L. Clayman, Taylor S. Coughlan, Christophe Cusset, Frederick T. Griffiths, Thomas K. Hubbard, Richard Hunter, Alexandros Kampakoglou, Evangelos Karakasis, Jacqueline Klooster, David Konstan, Jan Kwapisz, Poulheria Kyriakou, Giulio Massimilla, Claudio Meliadò, Sarah Miles, Andrew D.
