Cento-texts represent an extreme case of intertextuality. In gathering material from different sources and weaving it together they form a patchwork, which is in constant dialogue with the literary tradition. The different components can take on new meanings and, at the same time, refer back to their original contexts. This interdisciplinary volume explores different cento-techniques from Antiquity to the present day. It focusses upon poetological reflections, which are often linked with or even inscribed in the usage of cento-techniques, and it takes into account varied understandings of cento-writings in the history of reception. The contributions compare different cultural traditions and approach cento-techniques from an aesthetical point of view. They examine questions of authorship, authorization and fragmentarization. They ask which metaphors or concepts are used to describe cento-techniques (e.g. bees, weaving, hooking, bricolage), and they discuss the poiesis of cento-texts in the Aristotelian sense of ?being made?. 0The arrangement of the contributions in this volume is centonic insofar they are neither ordered chronologically nor according to specific topics. Rather, they form a patchwork, which invites the reader to compare different methodological approaches of dealing with cento-texts from Homer to Zong!0.

In classical scholarship of the past two centuries, the term “epyllion” was used to label short hexametric texts mainly ascribable to the Hellenistic period (Greek) or the Neoterics (Latin). Apart from their brevity, characteristics such as a predilection for episodic narration or female characters were regarded as typically “epyllic” features. However, in Antiquity itself, the texts we call “epyllia” were not considered a coherent genre, which seems to be an innovation of the late 18th century. The contributions in this book not only re-examine some important (and some lesser known) Greek and Latin primary texts, but also critically reconsider the theoretical discourses attached to it, and also sketch their literary and scholarly reception in the Byzantine and Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Modern Age.

Die in der Anthologia Palatina überlieferte Gedichtsammlung der Carmina Anacreontea hat trotz ihrer reichen Rezeption (zahlreiche Übersetzungen in moderne Sprachen, Nachdichtungen, künstlerische Umsetzungen) in der Forschung bislang wenig Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. Der Grund ist eng mit der Echtheitsfrage der Gedichte verknüpft: Während die 60 Gedichte lange als authentische Dichtung des archaischen Lyrikers Anakreon gelesen wurden, gelten sie heute aus sprachlich-stilistischen Gründen als kaiserzeitliche Nachahmungen anakreontischer Lyrik, die von verschiedenen Autoren zwischen dem 1. und 6. Jahrhundert n.Chr. verfasst wurden. Unter Rückgriff auf neue Forschungsansätze zur kaiserzeitlichen Lyrik und mit Hilfe verschiedener rezeptions- und wirkungsästhetischer Methoden versucht der vorliegende Band, die Carmina Anacreontea sowohl als Sammlung wie als Einzeldichtungen in ihre literarische Tradition einzuordnen und Besonderheiten der Sprache, Metrik, Poetologie, Intertextualität und Rezeption herauszustellen.

Die "Ereignisse nach Homer", die Quintus Smyrnaeus wohl im 3. Jh. n.Chr. in seinem griechischen Epos Posthomerica beschreibt, sind ein Versuch, die Lücke zwischen Ilias und Odyssee zu schließen und die bis dahin verstreut überlieferten Berichte über den Kampf um Troja erzählerisch zu vereinen. Obschon das Epos in künstlerischer und populärer Rezeption (wie in Gustav Schwabs Schönsten Sagen des klassischen Altertums) breit gewirkt hat, fand eine wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit den Posthomerica bislang nur am Rande statt. Der vorliegende Sammelband arbeitet unter Berücksichtigung moderner Forschungsansätze intertextuelle Dialoge, narratologische Eigenheiten und stilistische wie inhaltliche Besonderheiten heraus. Die 16 Beiträge geben einen Einblick in werkimmanente Aspekte (Spannungsaufbau, Poetologie, Erzähltechnik) und untersuchen den Einfluss des literarischen Umfelds und insbesondere der Zweiten Sophistik auf Quintus anhand von werkübergreifenden, intertextuellen Fragestellungen und Fragen der Gattungsgeschichte: Wie lässt sich Quintus innerhalb der epischen Tradition einordnen, welchen Einfluss hat sein Werk auf spätere Epen der Kaiserzeit, wie erfolgreich ist sein Programm des Brückenschlags zwischen Ilias und Odyssee letztlich gewesen?

"Epigram stands apart from other early Greek poetic genres by being from the start a written genre, and moreover by being a written genre with a fixed physical context. In the case of sepulchral epigram this physical context is that of a grave or a cenotaph, thus making the epigram an integral part of a monument, a physical object in a fixed place, commemorating one or more persons"--Provided by publisher. "With contributions written by leading experts in the field, this volume explores the dialogue between Archaic and Classical Greek epigrams and their readers. The authors examine questions surrounding the identity of the speakers and the addressees. They also discuss the spatial, religious, historical and political contexts of epigram, as well as aspects of intertextuality, poetic variation and the creation of epigrammatic sub-genres. Collectively the volume demonstrates that the dominant view of epigram as a genre that became literary and artistic only in the Hellenistic period has to be revised. Archaic and Classical Greek epigrams did not simply serve the objects they describe but also demonstrate a high degree of aesthetic and literary achievement. This volume breaks new ground in the study of the genre and is important for scholars of classics, archaeology, epigraphy and papyrology"--Provided by publisher.
