Resumen
HENDERSON, William J.. Some more ways to die: Accidental deaths in Hellenistic epigrams. In Skriflig (Online) [online]. 2019, vol.53, n.2, pp.1-8. ISSN 2305-0853. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/ids.v53i2.2525.
In this article, the focus falls on five Hellenistic epigrammatic poets (Theaetetus of Cyrene, Antipater of Thessalonica, Bianor of Bithynia, Apollonides of Nicaea and Antiphilus of Byzantium) and epigrams they wrote on the theme of extraordinary accidents. Typically of Hellenistic epigrammatists, each poet aimed at finding novelty and surprise, or at varying (and outdoing) predecessors' efforts. The process generated innovative language and thought, pushing the literary epigram far away from its origins in lapidary epitaphs. The article aims at demonstrating this.
