Euphorion et l´Hécalé de Callimaque : Mythèmes et structure narrative d´un epyllion fragmentaire (« res Atticae ») (I)

Abstract

In this paper we consider first the possible points of tangent between Callimachus’ Hecale and the “res Atticae” of Euphorion (in his poems the Arai and the Mopsopia), as far as the poet of Chalcis reappropriates an interest for the Attica of Callimachus in his fragmentary poem Hecale. But we try to show also how Euphorion’ links with Callimachus ultimately prove to be quite thin in the writing of his poems, with words like κελέβη, among others, that are quoted by Callimachus in his epyllion.
