In this paper I will discuss how an epigram by Martial (Mart. 9.20) can be connected to a passage of Theocritus’ Encomium to Ptolemy Philadelphus (Theoc. Id. 17.58 – 76): the analysis will be developed in detail in order to enable the reader to perceive all the intertextual links existing between the two texts and will lead to a wider consideration of the literary background of the encomiastic epigram.

Abstract

In this paper I will discuss how an epigram by Martial (Mart. 9.20) can be connected to a passage of Theocritus’ Encomium to Ptolemy Philadelphus (Theoc. Id. 17.58 – 76): the analysis will be developed in detail in order to enable the reader to perceive all the intertextual links existing between the two texts and will lead to a wider consideration of the literary background of the encomiastic epigram.
