CALLIMACHUS, APOLLONIUS AND MYRTALE’S ATTEMPTED THEFT: A PROCESS FOR PLAGIARISM IN HERONDAS’ MIMIAMB 2.

• Languages of publication: IT

Abstracts

EN

The article offers a metapoetic reading of Herondas’ second Mimiamb, in which Battaros should be identifi ed with Callimachus, Thales with Apollonius of Rhodes and Myrtale with the poetic production of Callimachus himself. According to this approach, the real aim of the mimiamb could be the ironic description of Callimachus (portrayed as a greedy brothel-keeper) accusing Apollonius of stealing his poems: the Koan jury (probably the poets around Philetas) will have to judge, in fact, a case of plagiarism.
