STRIPEIKIS, Caterina Anush. Amphóteron mántin te agathòn kaì dorì máchestai: reelaboraciones poéticas y (re)performance en O. 6. 12-18 y CEG 519. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.2, e103. ISSN 0328-1205.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/1851779xe103.

The aim of the present essay is to study the ways in which the phrase ἀμφότερον μάντιν τε ἀγαθὸν καὶ δορὶ μάχεσθαι (“good both as a seer and as a fighter with the spear”), apparently first attested in the cyclic Thebaid, is adapted and reworked in two poetic productions. The first is Pindar’s Olympian 6 and the second is epigram number 519 from the Carmina Epigraphica Graeca (CEG) edited by Hansen. I will analyze the poetic adaptation of the phrase to the goals and compositional procedures displayed by both productions, considering, at the same time, the wider historical and socio-cultural frame that surrounds them. I will also highlight the importance of the (re)-performance phenomenon in order to transmit the fame (κλέος) of the laudandus or the deceased through the deployment of the phrase mentioned above.

Palabras clave : Epinikion; Epigram; Reworking; Performance.
