Observateur hors pair, critique acerbe, orateur virtuose qui manie l’humour et l’ironie tout autant qu’il se plaît aux références intertextuelles et aux réflexions métalittéraires, Lucien de Samosate est un des grands noms du iie siècle après J.-C. Son influence sur des oeuvres aussi variées que l’Éloge de la Folie d’Érasme, Pantagruel et Gargantua de Rabelais, les Dialogues des morts de Fontenelle, les Voyages de Gulliver de Swift et les Petites œuvres morales de Leopardi témoigne de l’étendue de ses expérimentations littéraires. C’est à l’une des spécificités de l’écriture lucianesque, la mixis, que le présent ouvrage est consacré. Le mélange des genres à l’oeuvre chez Lucien y est examiné par un ensemble de spécialistes dans ses dimensions théoriques et pratiques. En effet, si Lucien se revendique fièrement comme l’inventeur d’un type particulier de mélange, le dialogue comique, une multiplicité d’autres formes, d’autres « ingrédients » sont convoqués dans ses textes. En s’interrogeant sur la nature de la mixis, sur ses modalités et sur ses fonctions, ainsi que sur ses effets, il s’agit de proposer une synthèse sur un des éléments clés de la poétique lucianesque.

The underlying theme of Three Centuries of Greek Culture under the Roman Empire is the idea that, under Roman rule, Greek culture was still alive and dynamic and continued to exert a degree of cultural domination, either real or apparent. So, we hope to analyse the meanings of concepts such as “Greek” or “Greece” in the Empire. Are we right to assume that there was a clear opposition between Greek and Roman? Or would it be more accurate to speak of a “Graeco-Roman world”? It would certainly be possible to make a list of “elements of identity”, on both sides —Greek and Roman—, but, in this case, where should the borders between identity and community be placed? Three Centuries of Greek Culture under the Roman Empire presents several approaches to the period between the second and fourth centuries AD from a variety of angles, perspectives and disciplines. Until now, this time has usually been considered to be the junction of the decline between the classical world and the emergence of the medieval world; however, this book establishes a basis for considering the Imperial period as a specific stage in cultural, historical and social development with a distinct personality of its own.

The protagonists of the ancient novels wandered or were carried off to distant lands, from Italy in the west to Persia in the east and Ethiopia in the south; the authors themselves came, or pretended to come, from remote places such as Aphrodisia and Phoenicia; and the novelistic form had antecedents in a host of classical genres. These intersections are explored in this volume. Papers in the first section discuss ?mapping the world in the novels.? The second part looks at the dialogical imagination, and the conversation between fiction and history in the novels. Section 3 looks at the way ancient fiction has been transmitted and received. Space, as the locus of cultural interaction and exchange, is the topic of the fourth part. The fifth and final section is devoted to character and emotion, and how these are perceived or constructed in ancient fiction. Overall, a rich picture is offered of the many spatial and cultural dimensions in a variety of ancient fictional genres.
