The hellenistic epigrammatist Leonidas of Tarentum inherited the representation of workers which was shaped by archaic and classical greek culture and poetry, especially by Homer. This representation included clearly distinct and separated categories of workers and a specific status of the worker in the oikos and in society. However, as this epigrammatist reshapes literary traditions by representing humble characters as a class of individuals, he creates a new representation of a community of workers. This paper will focus on two aspects of this representation, which are distinct from their Homeric model but allow the epigrammatist to allude to it: the presence in Leonidas of allusions to networks of persons who practise the same profession and the fact these networks are part of a larger community of workers, which transcends traditional, professional and/or gender boundaries.

This paper offers an analysis of references to landscapes in Leonidas' epigrams. A comparison with Demetrius' paragraphs on enargeia enables us to shed light on the stylistics of his votive epigrams. Leonidas developed a series of strategies that encouraged his readers to visualize the landscapes in which the votive offerings that he describes supposedly took place ; one of these techniques consists in referring to an internal viewer. By studying these techniques, we also gain a better understanding of the reasons for which Roman readers of Leonidas' epigrams admired his poems and quoted them : specific emphasis is given to Propertius' translation of AP 9.337 and to the painted inscriptions discovered in the Casa degli Epigrammi (Pompeii) and in Suasa.

The aim of this work is to study hellenistic poetry through a new concept of « humility ». Poetic and metapoetic aspects of Callimachus’ Hecale andepigrams, Theocritus’ Idylls and epigrams, Herodas’ Mimiambi and Leonidas’ of Tarentum epigrams are explored in this light., Selon Callimaque, l’artiste a pour tâche d’emprunter des sentiers non encore battus parses prédécesseurs. Explorer de nouveaux chemins de création va de pair avec le fait de chanter une nouvelle catégorie de figures : celle des humbles. L’humilité, c’est-à-dire le caractère de ce qui présente un manque considéré comme un défaut, est à distinguer de la pauvreté, qui n’est liée qu’à la possession des biens. Elle est un élément de caractérisation des figures poétiques et revêt des formes multiples, particulièrement liées aux âges de la vie, à l’apparence et au statut social des personnages, et devient un champ d’expérimentations poétiques pour les poètes hellénistiques. Bien qu’aucun terme ne désigne en grec ancien, à l’époque hellénistique, l’humilité et qu’on ne peut de ce fait affirmer l’existence d’un concept d’humilité en tant que tel à cette période, les figures caractérisées par l’humilité apparaissent structurées en réseau, par des biais sémantiques, lexicaux et stylistiques. Ce phénomène est particulièrement observable dans les Idylles et les épigrammes de Théocrite, ainsi que dans l’Hécalé et les épigrammes de Callimaque, les Mimiambes d’Hérondas et les épigrammes de Léonidas de Tarente. Ces oeuvres, où des figures caractérisées par leur humilité occupent des rôles de premier plan contrairement à ce qui était le cas dans la poésie antérieure, constituent le corpus choisi pour notre étude de manière à permettre l’analyse du traitement de la thématique au sein de genres poétiques divers. Ce sont les modalités et les enjeux du traitement dont fait l’objet l’humilité dans la poésie hellénistique qui sont ici analysées. Il s’agit de déterminer les critères qui permettent de distinguer des sèmes d’humilité afin de reconstruire ce « concept » omniprésent bien que non nommé, puis, à partir des réseaux sémantiques liées à l’humilité qui parcourent la poésie hellénistique, de montrer les enjeux métapoétiques que le traitement de ce thème soulève., Secondo Callimaco, l’artista deve scegliere delle strade diverse da quelle che hanno percorso i suoipredecessori. Il fatto di cantare una nuova categoria di personaggi, gli umili, fa parte dell’esplorazione diun nuovo modo di comporre poesia.L’umiltà, cioè la caratteristica di tutto ciò che presenta una qualche mancanza ed è perciò consideratoin difetto, è diversa dalla povertà, che corrisponde alla sola mancanza dei beni. L’umiltà è un modo percaratterizzare i personaggi. Le forme della sua realizzazione, legate in particolare all’età, all’apparenza, allivello sociale e alla ricchezza, sono varie e offrono un campo di sperimentazione ai poeti ellenistici.Siccome il senso di nessuna parola greca corrisponde a quello della parola «umiltà» in epoca ellenistica,non è possibile essere sicuri dell’esistenza, in quel periodo, di un simile concetto. Gli elementicaratterizzati dall’umiltà, tuttavia, sembrano organizzati secondo la struttura di una rete, grazie a deiprocessi semantici, lessicali e stilistici. Questo fenomeno appare in modo particolarmente chiaro negliIdilli e negli epigrammi di Teocrito, nell’Ecale e negli epigrammi di Callimaco, nei Mimiambi di Eroda, enegli epigrammi di Leonida di Taranto. Il corpus analizzato è composto da questi quattro gruppi di testipoetici, in cui alcuni personaggi umili svolgono ruoli da protagonisti, affinché la tematica dell’umiltà possaessere studiata in generi poetici differenti.In questo lavoro analizziamo le modalità di sviluppo di questa tematica nella poesia ellenistica e lesfide estetiche che essa implica. Si tratta, in primo luogo, di individuare i criteri che permettono diriconoscere la presenza della nozione di umiltà, per ricostruire questo «concetto» ben percepibile anche semai nominato, e poi di studiare le reti semantiche che lo strutturano; infine, di mettere in luce gli aspettimetapoetici tanto della nozione di umiltà quanto degli stessi personaggi umili.

The author claims that the excessive employment of the term λλεεππττóóςς for characterizing Aratus' poetry and for denoting its conformity to the aesthetic ideal of Hellenistic poetry, as defined by Callimachus' poetic standards, stems from a misinterpretation, both by the later biographical tradition and the modern scholarship, of a number of poetic sources. λλεεππττοολλóóγγοοςς, in king Ptolemy's epigram ( SH 712), λλεεππττὴ φφρροοννττííςς in Leonidas' epigram ( AP 9.25), λλεεππττή in an acrostich of the Phaenomena, the title Tὰ κκααττὰ λλεεππττóóνν of an Aratean poetic collection, all mean quite different things, and are unrelated to Callimachus' Mοοῦσσαα λλεεππττααλλέηη. The reception in contemporary Alexandria court circles of the poetry of Aratus, the official encomiast of Antigonus Gonatas, archenemy of the Ptolemies, was not favourable. A black mark in the poet's record must have been a pun on his name (ἄρρρρηηττοοςς -- Ἄρρηηττοοςς), which he impiously inserted in the hymnic Phaenomena proem which praised Zeus. Theocritus, Id. 17.1 -- 4, criticized him indirectly, but Leonidas, AP 9.25, exonerated him from the blasphemy. This incident prompted the cancellation of the Jovian proem and the composition of a series of alternative proems to the Phaenomena. Callimachus' Ep. 27 is not a praise of Aratus, as was hitherto believed, but a mortifying criticism of Aratus' didactic epic. It is written in a bi-level satiric style hidden behind an innocent faççade, used also in Ep. 13, an epigram against Posidippus of Pella. It blames Aratus not for imitating Hesiod, but for imitating the worst verses of Hesiod's Works and Days. It also reverses Aratus' pun (Ἀρρήττοουυ ἀγγρρυυππννííηηςς -- ἀρρρρήττοουυ ἀγγρρυυππννííηηςς), in order to stress the bookish and laborious character of the Phaenomena. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

International audience; This paper offers an analysis of references to landscapes in Leonidas' epigrams. A comparison with Demetrius' paragraphs on enargeia enables us to shed light on the stylistics of his votive epigrams. Leonidas developed a series of strategies that encouraged his readers to visualize the landscapes in which the votive offerings that he describes supposedly took place ; one of these techniques consists in referring to an internal viewer. By studying these techniques, we also gain a better understanding of the reasons for which Roman readers of Leonidas' epigrams admired his poems and quoted them : specific emphasis is given to Propertius' translation of AP 9.337 and to the painted inscriptions discovered in the Casa degli Epigrammi (Pompeii) and in Suasa.; Cette contribution étudie les références au paysage dans les épigrammes de Léonidas de Tarente sous trois angles principaux : quelles sont les techniques d'enargeia employées par le poète tarentin dans ses épigrammes évoquant un paysage ? Comment inclut-il dans ces textes des références au regard d'un éventuel spectateur ? Comment expliquer la fortune de certaines de ses épigrammes à Rome et leur reprise, sous forme de traduction, dans une élégie de Properce ou encore dans des inscriptions peintes destinées à accompagner des décors du ier s. av J.-C. (Maison des épigrammes à Pompéi et fragment d'enduit retrouvé à Suasa) ?

Par cet article, on tente d’analyser comment une épigramme littéraire peut réutiliser certaines caractéristiques ordinaires de différentes phraséologies (inscriptions, éloge, etc.) lorsque la personne louée par l’épigramme est célèbre, comme un poète peut l’être. On étudiera ici trois épigrammes de Léonidas de Tarente (iiie siècle avant J.-C.) qui portent sur trois poètes (Homère, Pindare et Érinna). Dans le premier poème, Léonidas utilise une analogie cosmique, qui se trouve dans des éloges ou dans les inscriptions : dans ce cas une seule lecture est suffisante. Pour Pindare, ce qui semble, en première analyse, une simple inscription s’avère être plus élaboré à la lumière de l’intertextualité ; ce poème nécessite donc une nouvelle lecture. Enfin, l’épigramme consacrée à Érinna est encore plus complexe, car la poétesse elle-même a réutilisé, dans sa poésie, les formules des inscriptions. Par ces trois exemples, nous souhaitons suggérer combien de soin demande l’analyse d’une phraséologie, lorsque la personne dont une épigramme fait l’éloge n’est pas un simple inconnu. This paper tries to analyse how a literary epigram can reuse some common features of various phraseologies (inscriptions, praise, etc.), when the person praised by the epigram is famous as a poet can be. Three epigrams by Leonidas of Tarentum (3rd century BC) dealing with three poets (Homer, Pindar and Erinna) are studied here. In the first poem Leonidas uses a cosmic analogy, which can be found either in eulogies or inscriptions: a single reading is sufficient. For Pindar, what seems at first sight a plain inscription turns out to be more elaborate in the light of intertextuality; this poem needs to be read again. Lastly the epigram about Erinna is even more complex, because this poetess herself had reused, in her poetry, the formulaic patterns of the inscriptions. By these three examples, we hope to suggest how carefully phraseology must be analysed, when the person praised by an epigram is not unknown.
