The relationship between the genres of elegy and epigram has been
much debated and from a dizzying variety of angles. The
contributors to this volume explore the impact of Hellenistic Greek
epigram on Latin erotic elegy in the light of the recent discovery
and publication of papyrus book-rolls, especially those containing
Hellenistic Greek epigram collections. Individual chapters approach
the interrelations of Greek epigram and Latin elegy through the
theoretical frameworks of intermediality (the contamination of the
two different media of stone inscription and book roll) and textual
criticism (applying to the Latin elegist Propertius the editorial
lessons learned from the papyrus collections of Greek epigrams).
Some chapters focus on the reception of specific Greek epigrams,
particularly those of Meleager and Philodemus, in particular
elegies of Propertius and Ovid, while others take the Latin
elegists as their focus and examine their appropriation of both the
thematic motifs of Greek epigram and the organizational structures
of Hellenistic epigram books. All bear witness to the importance of
Hellenistic Greek epigram to the authors of Latin erotic elegy,
consolidate our understanding of the formal relations between the
two genres in the Hellenistic and Roman worlds, and deepen our
appreciation of individual Greek epigrams and Latin elegies.
