With the adoption of Christianity as the official religion of the Roman world in the fourth century AD, the role of the poet underwent a radical transformation. In place of the traditional poet of the Muses there emerged a new figure, claiming inspiration and authority from Christ. The poet of Christ soon came to eclipse the poet of the Muses, and in doing so established a conceptual framework that still drives modern approaches to the period. Christian poetry is taken 'seriously' as making a relevant and valuable contribution to our understanding of the late antique world; by contrast 'pagan' or 'secular' poetry is largely ignored, as though it were devoid of meaning. The Myth of Paganism seeks to re-evaluate the role of 'pagan' poetry in late antiquity. Instead of maintaining a strict dichotomy between 'pagan' and 'Christian', it presents a broader definition of these poets as active participants and collaborators in the creation of late antique culture. Attention focuses on an exploration of the contemporary resonance of Nonnus' Dionysiaca - traditionally regarded as a 'pagan' epic in terms of its theme and content, yet in all probability the work of a 'Christian' poet responsible for a Homeric-style retelling of St Johns Gospel.

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.
