Das Buch bietet einen ausführlichen philologischen Kommentar zum Artemis-Hymnos des Kallimachos und bedient damit ein Desiderat der modernen Forschung. Als Grundlage dient ein Text mit neuem kritischem Apparat, unter dem auch ein apparatus locorum similium Platz findet. Die Einleitung behandelt alle Fragenkomplexe, die bei der Interpretation des Gedichtes von Belang sind: die Stellung des Hymnos innerhalb des Hymnenbuchs und seine Bezüge zu den anderen Hymnen; die poetische Einheit, eine alte Streitfrage, der hier durch eine Synthese früherer Positionen begegnet wird; Gestalt und kultischen Aufgabenbereich der Artemis; Datierung und Sitz im Leben des Textes, wobei auch ein systematischer Aufweis der zeitpolitisch-ptolemäischen Dimension versucht wird. Eine metrische Analyse beschließt den Einleitungsteil. Im Kommentar wird größtmögliche Vollständigkeit angestrebt, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf dem sprachlichen Aspekt sowie auf der feinen Allusionstechnik des alexandrinischen Dichters liegt. Das Buch verfolgt mithin zwei Hauptziele: einerseits will es den Umgang des Dichters mit literarischen Vorbildern beleuchten, andererseits die ptolemäische Ideologie hinter der olympischen Fassade aufzeigen. The book presents a detailed philological commentary on Callimachus’ Hymn to Artemis based on a new critical edition. The introduction covers the issues of relevance in interpreting the poem. The commentary strives to be comprehensive, with primary emphasis on the linguistic elements and the Alexandrian poet’s fine allusive technique.

This is the first study considering the reception of Greek tragedy and the transformation of the tragic idea in Hellenistic poetry. The focus is on third-century Alexandria, where the Ptolemies fostered tragedy as a theatrical form for public entertainment and as an official genre cultivated by the Pleiad, whereas the scholars of the Museum were commissioned to edit and comment on the classical tragic texts. More importantly, the notion of the tragic was adapted to the literary trends of the era. Released from the strict rules established by Aristotle about what makes a good tragedy, the major poets of the Alexandrian avant-garde struggled to transform the tragic idea and integrate it into non-dramatic genres. Tragic Failures traces the incorporation of the tragic idea in the poetry of Callimachus and Theocritus, in Apollonius’ epic Argonautica, in the iambic Alexandra, in late Hellenistic poetry and in Parthenius’ Erotika Pathemata. It offers a fascinating insight into the new conception of the tragic dilemmas in the context of Alexandrian aesthetics.

Die Hekale des hellenistischen Dichters Kallimachos stellt eines der bekanntesten Kleinepen der griechischen Literatur dar und fand als solches großen Anklang in der Antike. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Untersuchung steht die bisher nur selten gestellte und daher nicht ausreichend behandelte Frage nach dem Verhältnis der Hekale zu dem homerischen Epos, und zwar zur Odyssee. Den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen zufolge stellt sich heraus, dass die Odyssee ebenso deutlich wie nachhaltig die Sprache, die Figurenkonstellation des hellenistischen Miniaturepos wie auch die gesamte Struktur dessen Handlung beeinflusste. Die Untersuchung dokumentiert die zahlreichen und verschiedenartigen Rekurse, Anklänge, Anleihen, die Kallimachos auf sprachlicher, figurenbezogener und nicht minder auch struktureller Ebene bei der Odyssee gemacht hat, indem sie Lesestrategien in Anspruch nimmt, die auf Inter- und Intratextualität, Erzähltheorie, poetische Etymologie, Mündlichkeit vs. Schriftlichkeit und Geschlechterforschung beruhen. In diesem methodischen Rahmen enthält sie mehrere Interpretationsversuche, die neues Licht auf die ,kleinen Leute' sowohl des homerischen als auch des hellenistischen Epos werfen sollen.

The aim of this book is to devise a method for approaching the problem of presence in Hellenistic and Roman poetry. The problem of presence, as defined here, is the problem of the availability or accessibility to the reader of the fictional worlds disclosed by poetry. From Callimachus’ Hymns to the Odes of Horace, poets of this era repeatedly challenge readers by beckoning them to explore fictive spaces which are at once familiar and otherworldly, realms of the imagination which are nevertheless firmly rooted in the lived reality of the poets and their contemporaries. We too, when we read these poems, may feel simultaneously a sense of being transported to a world apart and of being seized upon by the poem’s address in the here and now of reading. The fiction of occasion is proposed as a new conceptual tool for understanding how these poems produce such problematic presences and what varieties of experience they make possible for their readers. The fiction of occasion is defined as a phenomenon whereby a poem is fictionally framed as part of a material event or ‘occasion’ with which the reader is invited to engage through the medium of the senses. The book explores this concept through close readings of key authors from the corpus of first-person poetry written in Greek and Latin between the 3rd century BCE and the 1st century CE, with a focus on Callimachus, Bion, Catullus, Propertius, and Horace. The ultimate purpose of these readings is to move towards developing a new vocabulary for conceptualising ancient poetry as an embodied experience.

This work deals with concepts of time in pre-Islamic Arabic poetry and in the Koran, placing them in relation to Hellenistic conceptions of time in Late Antique poetry. The analysis shows that just as in the much earlier field of Greek poetry, so too in Old Arabic verse time is seen as an inescapable power. The Arabic concept for endless time, dahr, is revealed to be the Arabic equivalent of the Greek concept aión. Inthe Koran the power of time is denied completely and replaced by the absolute power of God, which is described with the help of Hellenisticconceptions of time. The research sugges
