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.

In Reciprocity, Truth, and Gender in Pindar and Aeschylus, author Arum Park explores two notoriously difficult ancient Greek poets and seeks to articulate the complex relationship between them. Although Pindar and Aeschylus were contemporaries, previous scholarship has often treated them as representatives of contrasting worldviews. Park’s comparative study offers the alternative perspective of understanding them as complements instead. By examining these poets together through the concepts of reciprocity, truth, and gender, this book establishes a relationship between Pindar and Aeschylus that challenges previous conceptions of their dissimilarity. The book accomplishes three aims: first, it shows that Pindar and Aeschylus frame their poetry using similar principles of reciprocity; second, it demonstrates that each poet depicts truth in a way that is specific to those reciprocity principles; and finally, it illustrates how their depictions of gender are shaped by this intertwining of truth and reciprocity. By demonstrating their complementarity, the book situates Pindar and Aeschylus in the same poetic ecosystem, which has implications for how we understand ancient Greek poetry more broadly: using Pindar and Aeschylus as case studies, the book provides a window into their dynamic and interactive poetic world, a world in which ostensibly dissimilar poets and genres actually have much more in common than we might think.

Durant de nombreuses années, la poésie astrologique grecque et latine n'est restée connue que d'un cercle restreint de spécialistes versés dans le domaine. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est de proposer une vision d'ensemble de ces poèmes, en présentant tous les poèmes et fragments de poèmes astrologiques grecs et latins qui ont été conservés depuis la période hellénistique jusqu'à l'Antiquité tardive. Étant donné la forme métrique et le contenu technique de ces compositions, l'enjeu est de considérer l'interaction de ce corpus avec le genre de la poésie didactique, afin de mieux définir la place de ces poèmes astrologiques dans l'histoire littéraire gréco-latine.

Nella Poetica, Aristotele ammette la storia tra i temi possibili per la poesia a condizione che il poeta raggiunga il piano dell'universale narrando eventi che rispettino le norme dell'eikos e dell'anankaion. Con l'alterazione della storia di Atene nel Menesseno e il poema di Solone su Atlantide nel Crizia Platone precorre la riflessione di Aristotele e riserva al racconto storico un ruolo centrale per la paideia dei cittadini. Nel V secolo, la poesia greca d'argomento storico, dai Persiani di Eschilo ai Persiani di Timoteo, anticipa nella prassi i temi che Platone e Aristotele svilupperanno sul piano teorico: l'intreccio tra il particolare della storia e l'universale della poesia, i modelli per la mimesis, l'adesione del destinatario tra eleos, phobos e geloion.

The Look of Lyric: Greek Song and the Visual addresses the various modes of interaction between ancient Greek lyric poetry and the visual arts as well as more general notions of visuality. It covers diverse poetic genres in a range of contexts radiating outwards from the original performance(s) to encompass their broader cultural settings, the later reception of the poems, and finally also their understanding in modern scholarship. By focusing on the relationship between the visual and the verbal as well as the sensory and the mental, this volume raises a wide range of questions concerning human perception and cultural practices. As this collection of essays shows, Greek lyric poetry played a decisive role in the shaping of both.
