The study compares Theognis’ and Socrates’ concepts of love and friendship. Challenging the traditional interpretation that presupposes an agreement between the ideas of the two thinkers, we find out that only Plato’s Socrates works with the concept of love as a unique phenomenon that constitutes the identity of an individual. For Theognis, love appears to be a non-essential part of a contradictory political scheme: helping friends / harming enemies. In case of Socrates, love opens a new crucial horizon in the life of an individual by lifting him to see the divine beauty and characters. Within such an openness an individual changes his attitudes to himself, the others, the issues of communal life and the life in general. Openness, which seemingly evokes anxiety, in reality leads Socrates to a bitter-sweet satisfaction with the constantly examined life, whereas closeness in the circle of conforming friends, which seemingly secures Theognis’ life, leads in the end to a dissatisfaction and desire to die. Socrates’ erotical friendship stemming from love, still ambiguous and ironic, reveals itself to be stronger than unambiguous, pragmatic friendship of Theognis. Only through the erotical establishment, reason and friendship surpass their mortal style and acquire purposeful value for the movement of soul.

This article focuses on the criticism in Theognidea. The most visible form of criticism is rooted in the social and political domain and is discussed in the first part of the article. The following part analyses more subtle and sophisticated forms of criticism by identifying Theognis’ use of irony and the peculiar message covered by his metaphors. The article concludes that the new poetical discourse of Theognidea contains a hidden but exact political message meant for a specific social community. This message was to be carefully considered, understood, and carried out. In this respect, Theognis is a philosophising poet using a high level of criticism and demanding the same from his audience.

Corpus Theognideum constitutes the largest anthology of poetry composed in the archaic or classical period as well as the only elegiac text that has been transmitted by medieval manuscripts. Nevertheless, the form in which we know this collection is provided an important basis for the discussion about its authenticity. The present article is the result of the examination of the problem both about the history of disputes concerning that subject, and about the reception of the Theognidean poems, traced in Byzantine, early modern and modern period. Special focus has been given to the manuscript tradition, e.g. the most ancient codex Paris suppl. gr. 388 and Vaticanus, gr. 915, which bears witness to the popularity of the Theognidean elegies in the Byzantine age. The very raising of the subject in the form presented above was inspired by Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic method: based on this methodological proposal, the author sought to understand the evidence of the past in the proper historical context and to revise some dogmatic interpretations of other researchers; in this manner the author notes that the transmission of Corpus Theognideum is not really a solid foundation on which to build an argument about the falseness of the whole collection.

PL

Corpus Theognideum stanowi największy zabytek wczesnogreckiej poezji i jeden z niewielu tekstów tego okresu, który przetrwał w bezpośrednim przekazie rękopiśmiennym. Forma, w jakiej znamy elegie, stała się źródłem trwającej blisko 200 lat dyskusji dotyczącej ich autentyczności. Celem tekstu było przedstawienie kluczowych dla problemu autentyczności Corpus Theognideum argumentów i uwag z perspektywy recepcji i jego transmisji w epoce bizantyńskiej i nowożytnej. Podjęcie tematu w przedstawionej tu formie zostało zainspirowane metodą hermeneutyczną Hansa-Georga Gadamera: na podstawie tej propozycji metodologicznej, autor dążył zarówno do zrozumienia świadectw przeszłości we właściwym kontekście historycznym, jak i do zrewidowania pewnych dogmatycznych interpretacji innych badaczy, opartych na powziętych z góry założeniach lub błędach.
