This is the second volume on the mechanisms of oral communication in ancient Greece, focused on epic poetry, a genre with deep roots in orality. Considering the critical debate about orality and its influence on the composition, diffusion and transmission of the archaic epic poems, the survey provides a reconsideration and a reassessment of the traces of orality in the archaic epic poetry, following their adaptation in the synchronic and diachronic changes of the communicative system. Combining the methods of cognitive science, and the historical and literary analysis of the texts, the research explores the complexity of the literary message of the Greek epic poetry, highlighting its position in a system of oral communication. The consideration of structural and formal aspects, i.e. the traces of orality in the narrative architecture, in the epic diction, in the meter and the formulaic system, as well as the vestiges of the mixture of orality and writing, allows to reconstruct a dynamic frame of communicative modalities which influenced and enriched the archaic epic poetry, providing it with expressive potentialities destined to a longlasting permanence in the history of the genre.

Das vorliegende Buch bietet eine eingehende Analyse der Episode um den Satyrn und Dionysos-Liebling Ampelos, die Nonnos von Panopolis (5. Jh. n.Chr.) in den Büchern zehn, elf und zwölf der Dionysiaka, dem letzten griechischen Epos der Antike, aufspannt. Im Charakterprofil seiner Ampelos-Figur, in deren Todesschicksal und Verwandlung in den Weinstock, spiegelt der Autor sein poetisches Konzept, das zugleich mit der Rückbesinnung auf jahrhundertelang tradierte Kultur- und Erzählformen einer neuen, dionysischen Formensprache verpflichtet ist. Die sprachlichen, stilistischen und kompositionellen Eigenheiten, die kreative Auseinandersetzung mit Dichtern wie Homer oder den Hellenisten, die Übernahme von rhetorischen Techniken und überkommenen poetischen Motiven sowie das gelehrte Spiel mit traditionellen Genera arbeiten auf das narrative Ziel der Ampelos-Episode hin: die Ausstattung des Dionysos mit seinem wichtigsten Attribut, dem Wein. Ampelos ist somit nicht nur Voraussetzung für zahlreiche Narrative in den Büchern 13 bis 48 der Dionysiaka, sondern wird zur Schlüsselfigur im poetischen Dialog der Spätantike und zum Kumulationspunkt des hellenischen Synkretismus des östlichen Mittelmeerraums.

This book sets out to disentangle the complex chronology of early Greek epic poetry, which includes Homer, Hesiod, hymns and catalogues. The preserved corpus of these texts is characterized by a rather uniform language and many recurring themes, thus making the establishment of chronological priorities a difficult task. The editors have brought together scholars working on these texts from both a linguistic and a literary perspective to address the problem. Some contributions offer statistical analysis of the linguistic material or linguistic analysis of subgenres within epic, others use a neoanalytical approach to the history of epic themes or otherwise seek to track the development and interrelationship of epic contents. All the contributors focus on the implications of their study for the dating of early epic poems relative to each other. Thus the book offers an overview of the current state of discussion.
