Descrizione

By employing Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory, the paper examines how various speech genres are embedded into the generic framework of the Ps.-Theocritean Idyll 23 Erastes. These include the paraklausithyron, the lament, the epitaph and the paraenesis and are uttered by a real speaker (the lover) and imaginary ones (the youth and the passer-by). The aim of the paper is first to identify these speech genres and their speakers and second to interpret them within the narrative structure of the poem.
