The Egyptian Nonnus of Panopolis (5th century AD), author of both
the 'pagan' Dionysiaca, the longest known poem from Antiquity
(21,286 lines in 48 books, the same number of books as the Iliad
and Odyssey combined), and a 'Christian' hexameter Paraphrase of St
John's Gospel (3,660 lines in 21 books), is no doubt the most
representative poet of Greek Late Antiquity. Brill's Companion to
Nonnus of Panopolis provides a collection of 32 essays by a large
international group of scholars, experts in the field of archaic,
Hellenistic, Imperial, and Christian poetry, as well as scholars of
late antique Egypt, Greek mythology and religion, who explore the
various aspects of Nonnus' baroque poetry and its historical,
religious and cultural background.
