Descrizione

Establishing the authorship of ancient poetic maxims is not a straightforward matter, especially when the maxims are ascribed to a popular Greek poet and the only sources reporting them have a bad reputation. By analysing some recently republished Greek gnomic anthologies on papyrus, it is possible to rethink the terms of the problem and understand why scholars are often unable to establish the degree of reliability of the sources they use. In order to rid the field of received ideas, a new approach is required, one that provides an understanding of how collections of sentences actually work and what the most fruitful approach should be. The material and textual analysis of the documents allows interesting reflections on their modus operandi and unveils mechanisms that help us partially grasp the main problem.
