LUOGO DI PUBBLICAZIONE
Alessandria
This work focuses on Hellenistic and Roman epigrams dedicated to three lyric poets who were born or died (or both) in Italy: Ibycus, Stesichorus and Simonides. Although included in the canon of the Nine Lyric Poets (AP 9.184 and AP 9.571), and frequently quoted and praised in the scholastic and rhetorical environment, these three authors did not enjoy the same popularity as their colleagues' Anacreon, Sappho and Pindar as stock characters' celebrated in epigram. For some reason epigrammatists found inspiration mainly in their death or burials, often linked to mysterious or peculiar circumstances that now defy interpretation: Ibycus' violent death and miraculous' vengeance by a flock of cranes, an episode which finds an echo in a Pythagorean tale and which later passed into the realm of proverb, inspiring a dramatic ballad by Schiller; Stesichorus' complex mausoleum, a peculiar Hellenistic creation probably influenced by Pythagorean symbolism, which left traces in a motto (Panta okto) and in the traditions of medieval and modern Catania; the violation of Simonides' grave and its punishment (also related to a proverb, "Do not move Camarina"), described by the poet himself in a Callimachean aition which, until the first half of the twentieth century, was believed to be an epigram. After Late Antiquity, the memory of these lyric poets survived for centuries preserved in anecdotal tales, random quotes and a few epigrams, even when their poems, bodies and monumental graves had been destroyed by time and human impiety. Buried in papyri and in the manuscripts of epigrammatic anthologies, Ibycus, Stesichorus and Simonides would need a few more centuries to rise again from their grave as wise men and lyric poets.

International Conference : Nonnus of Panopolis in Context. Poetry and Cultural Milieu in Late Antiquity

The Department of Philology of the University of Crete organises in Rethymno, Crete, 13-15 May 2011, the first international conference on the late antique poet Nonnus of Panopolis. The nine sessions of the conference cover various aspects of Nonnus poetry, poetic technique, educational, literary and cultural background, ambience and afterlife. The twenty speakers, mainly from across Europe, include some well established scholars, but mostly scholars in their mid-forties and a few promising students of a younger generation.

The conference will pay equal attention to the Dionysiaca and the Paraphrasis of the Gospel of St John. New readings of key-passages in both poems will be presented, novel approaches to Nonnus relationship with earlier and contemporary literature, new insights into the reception of Nonnus by later poets, even modern authors, and an attempt to redefine the notion of the Nonnian School. The conference rather than seeing Nonnus as a follower or imitator explores what he has to say as an erudite late antique poet who absorbs and transforms a long and varied literary and philosophical past.

The Proceedings will be published as a Supplement to the series Trends in Classics directed by Professors Antonios Rengakos (Thessaloniki) and Franco Montanari (Venice) with DeGruyter.
