The Dynamics of Space in Moschus’ Europa
Moschus’ Europa is set in a paradisiac landscape where the erotic encounter between a young maiden and a god disguised as a bull is perfectly possible. Three symbolic spaces, the chamber, the meadow and the sea are the foil to the story of Europa’s affair with Zeus, thus providing the key to the interpretation of the entire poem. The aim of the paper is to explore how space in combination with time, what we might call the poem’s chronotope, is consistent with its generic quality, to discuss the spatial organization of the narrative and then give a detailed analysis of the poem’s spaces and to associate space with the actual plot by focusing on the dramatic potential stemming from the spatial structuring of Moschus’ Europa
The dark side of Euphorion
Le fantastique, le morbide, l’horrible et l’étrange constituent autant de notions connexes qui ont eu un rôle formateur dans le développement de mouvements contemporains, surtout le romantisme et le décadentisme, mais qui peuvent aussi s’avérer utiles pour décrire plusieurs tendances de l’esthétique hellénistique. Euphorion est attiré par les sujets morbides et confère volontiers au discours une intensité émotionnelle marquée : aussi peut-on être tenté de le qualifier de « poète noir ». La présente contribution examine les testimonia et les fragments d’Euphorion en les situant dans le cadre de ce projet esthétique particulier
Συμφραστικός πίνακας λέξεων στο ποιητικό έργο του Γιώργου Σεφέρη [Concordance to the poems of Georgios Seferis]
Concordance of the poetic works of Giorgos Seferis which presents all the principal “words” of the texts in an alphabetical list, stating how often each word occurs, giving a precise location and a relevant piece of text for each occurrence. We found ca. 9500 different Greek words in 39000 different occurrences, so our concordance has 50.000 lines of text. The technical procedure required four main steps: text entry and tagging, production of the concordance, correction of the contexts, formatting for print
The programmatic Idylls of Theocritus
Scholars have consistently focused on Idylls 1 and 7 as ‘programmatic’ poems. Cairns, in his discussion of the first Idyll as a programmatic poem, helpfully defines such poetry as follows: A poem or part of a poem can be described as ‘programmatic’ if it is consciously composed in such a way that it contains a very high concentration of material typical of its literary form. Such a piece can be regarded as even more obviously programmatic if it contains statements about poetry and the art of writing poetry, either implicit or explicit. Such statements can sometimes involve evaluations of poetry or of several different kinds of poetry. Pieces which are ‘programmatic’ in one or more of these senses can sometimes use an agreed symbolic language. This chapter analyzes Idylls 1 and 7 from a comparable angle
