Euphorion’s Dionysos: Structure and Hermeneutics

Published 2023-11-23

Keywords

  • Euphorion,
  • Hellenistic poetry,
  • Dionysus,
  • Nonnus of Panopolis

Abstract

A detailed attempt at reconstructing Euphorion’s lost Dionysus, presumably focused on continental Greece rather than on the East. Both in theme and in narrative technique, Euphorion’s poem appears to have been very different from Nonnus’ Dionysiaca.
