Das Epitaph für Bion. Text, Übersetzung und Kommentar.
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Even though the project is not yet completed, it is already possible to highlight its far-reaching results on both the Epitaph for Bion itself and Bucolic poetry as a genre. In addition to providing an improved understanding of the poem and its prosodic structure, this project has contributed to shed important light on some crucial poetological aspects, such as: a. the self-referential attitude of the anonymous laudator Bionis, which had so far gone unnoticed to scholars; b. the resourceful and, in many respects, ‘modern’ exploitation of the se-called ‘bucolic metaphor’; the complex eulogistic strategies on which the whole poem pivots; c. the laudator’s resort to the author’s multi-layered metalepsis as a powerful means of celebrating his deceased master.
