Die Alexandra ist das einzige vollständig erhaltene Werk des hellenistischen Dichters und Philologen Lykophron (3. Jh. v. Chr.). Ein zentraler Abschnitt hierin stellt das Schicksal des Odysseus dar. Die Untersuchung zielt auf eine möglichst genaue Evaluation des Lykophronischen Stils, um die Fragen nachträglicher Textänderungen und der Datierung zu beantworten. Lykophrons Autorschaft der Alexandra darf als gesichert gelten: Sie ist weder in Teilen noch im ganzen später entstanden. Das vorliegende Buch präsentiert den griechischen Text mit deutscher Übersetzung, detailliertem Kommentar und einer Einleitung. Zwei Appendices, Literaturverzeichnis und Register runden den Band ab. The Alexandra is the only extant complete work of the Hellenistic poet and philologist Lycophron (3rd cent. BC). A crucial section of it deals with the fate of Odysseus. The present study undertakes an exact evaluation of Lycophron’s style in order to investigate possible later emendations and the dating of the text. Lycophron’s authorship of the Alexandra is not in doubt; the poem was not written in sections, nor was it composed later.The present volume contains the Greek text with a German translation, a detailed commentary and an introduction. The book concludes with two appendices, a bibliography and an index.
