Abstract
Describing Zenophila, Meleager (AP V 140,2 = HE 4153) compares a girl’s lovely qualities (musical competence, wisdom and beauty) to three gifts given her by three divinities (Muses, Logos and Eros). The third gift, Beauty, is given by Eros, but, at v. 2, the pentameter’s end is corrupt, and so it is not easy for us justify the nonsense of ἐφ’ ἡνιόχῳ (codd.). A new conjecture to solve the problem is suggested: Ἔρως τοῦ καλοῦ ἡνίοχος.File in questo prodotto:
